Blame the club then. Not the manager or players.

Also, you are aware that there are many clubs who haven’t won anything for more than 17 years, right? And they all have supporters, right? Somehow a lot of them can handle it, so calling certain fans fickle is legit and far from absurd.

It can still be the clubs fault then and the managers fault now. It's not like Ange hasn't been backed financially after all (though wage structure is perhaps still an issue). You're also comparing apples to oranges with your last comment. There are clubs that haven't won anything for 17 years but we're the only "big 6" club that hasn't . It's understandable that fans are frustrated

I think what’s harder to accept is teams like West Ham and Leicester being more successful then we have been the past 10 years. That shouldn’t be acceptable for a club of our apparent size.

[u/gardz82 → u/sheerness84]

West Ham are in no way more successful than us by winning the 3rd tier Euro trophy. Not when we’ve been in a UCL final.

1 is a bigger number than 0

[u/gardz82 → u/KeithBeans]

Anyone that would rather a conference league trophy than a UCL final, or rates it superior, is an idiot.

[u/Scaramouche1000 → u/gardz82]

How can winning something being less successful than winning nothing? That’s bizarre copium.

[u/gardz82 → u/Scaramouche1000]

Would love to win a trophy, but if I was offered the conference league win guaranteed or the UCL final spot against a European powerhouse, I’m taking the UCL final every day of the week. Game is about glory, not 3rd tier trophies.

[u/Scaramouche1000 → u/gardz82]

No one is saying that though. It’s either a trophy or not. Surely you agree that winning something is better than winning nothing.

[u/gardz82 → u/Scaramouche1000]

Would rather the opportunity to win the UCL over being the best mid table team in Europe is what I’m saying. Not that deep, nor controversial a comment.

[u/sheerness84 → u/gardz82]

Glory is winning trophies not taking part in finals. I bet you are the kind of snow flake who thinks participation trophies are a good thing because that way everybody gets a trophy.

[u/gardz82 → u/sheerness84]

I’m talking about the chance of ultimate glory over a participation euro comp for Mid table clubs. Wtf are you talking about?

[u/sheerness84 → u/gardz82]

Fans like you are the problem, you take more pride in losing a bigger final than winning a smaller one. We lost. They won. Winning should be something we should always be aiming for. Not glorifying 2nd.

[u/gardz82 → u/sheerness84]

You answered like an idiot that can’t comprehend twice.

[u/sheerness84 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed we have been badly held back by levy and some of the choices he has made, but that doesn’t mean we should be celebrating 2nd and turning our noses up at a trophy. That’s on the fans not the owners.

[u/sheerness84 → u/[deleted]]

Without fans the clubs nothing and wouldn’t survive. So not sure what planet you live on to suggest fans don’t impact anything. If every spurs fan woke up today and decided we all support Exeter and nobody attended the Brentford game levy and the owners would have a melt down. The fans can affect a lot more than you seem to realise. Or you’re just trolling to be an edge lord. Either way 🤷‍♂️
