    I don’t know what you’re going on about with most of your post, it’s very obvious that 5th bottom is a fantastic achievement for a club that probably has a budget of less than half the second least.

    Regarding the freak results thing, a quick look at their results says that’s nonsense, they beat Burton 5-0 on New Year’s Day.

    The perfect fit for Morecombe unfortunately not for Bradford City and the world turns, your correct the expectations of Morecambe fans will be totally different to ours, and I don't want that to sound like we're billy big balls.

    Tempering ones expectations , is quite an apt phrase Dave?
    No harm in being ambitious however.!

    Remember , we have seen it all before throughout the years, too many to mention perhaps . The main difference compared to the old days…..Social Media. It has both positive and negative influences on how we think for sure.

    I've a Morecambe supporting mate and what galls me is that their 3 recent signings have all made a difference, especially when you consider that no matter who our manager has been in recent years we never seem to sign anyone in the transfer window who brings something extra to the team. Here's hoping some of our recent ones will prove me wrong this time!

    I agree and I was glad to see him go, but with no hard feelings from me. It didn’t work we move on, some unfortunately have an obsession with ex players and managers, once they’re gone good luck to them but it’s best to move on and wish them well not have ill feeling.

    No ill feelings he wasn't the "right fit" but not in his own head he was the "best manager" we could have a statement which is still to be proven untrue
    We seem to only pick managers (since Parky) who it doesn't work out for hopefully the next will be a different story
    Good luck to Morecambe and their fans but wouldn't bet they aren't a L2 club next season

    The bold part is kind of the subtle point I’m making, fans are quick to turn on players and managers a like. Maybe it’s the club not them that’s the problem, there’s only been one constant since the day Parky made the correct call and walked out…

    Nobody would give a shit if we won the league, it would be he’s a prick but he’s our prick. Fans only want results and dress it up in different ways when the results don’t come.

    Listen let’s be right that apart from Hughes having a bit more personality there is nothing between them

    shit football
    Deluded after match comments

    and let’s be right Hughes has had a far better budget than Adams

    We've been in the play offs pretty much all season.

    If that's not a positive, football must be a blood miserable game, mate.

    I can't be doing with this mate, sorry.

    I don't need a daily dose of 'the world is ending' when we're enjoying a reasonably successful season, but one that could be improved upon.

    I'm no psychologist, but are you sure football is the root of your unhappiness...?

    I'm going to have to put you on mute for my own sanity. The season isn't bad, hasn't been bad, and isn't going to suddenly turn bad over night. If you don't block me back, hopefully you'll come round later in the season and I won't feel utterly depressed reading all your furious posts.

    Relegated with Morecambe. Out of contract so perhaps won't be seeing him if we stay down.
