Placate the cynics by giving them something to be cynical about? Genius move by them.

So is that it then, The great unwashed aren't allowed to know what's going on because they didn't go to the forum like the special ones?

What do you want to know Meds, I know a couple who went and even though they were told not to repeat to much, have answered most questions.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Exactly. Not announcing Thornley has led to indignation level 10 amongst the cynics. However, if they *had* announced Thornley though. Indignation level 11! So it's a win for the club.DaveO wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 6:44 pmThey think the cynics on the clubs back would be placated by this?

BTW I think some operate at indignation level 9 as a default.
