I think the timing of this thread has skewered the reactions. Bring in a forward like Berahino and a decent DM and suddenly we look very promising. At the moment everything is up on the air.
I do agree with an earlier post about a general ambivalence towards football. To have any chance of real success you need your club to be big spenders, which, as with Oil Money FC, renders any 'success' virtually meaningless.
There's an interesting correlation between the decline in competition in football, and the rise of social media. I think a lot of people enjoy being able to discuss football whilst increasingly losing interest in the sport itself (as odd as that sounds).
For my part I'm not sure what I'm supporting these days. If Kane builds on last season he'll end up going. The new stadium won't elevate us above any current rivals. A new sugar daddy might offer trophies, but it would all be a bit empty.
Guess I'm just jaded by it all. I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for investing huge amounts of emotion into perpetual also-rans, and I don't really think I'd care much about us becoming another Oil Money club.
I for one can't vouch for that. There is no signing we can make which could considerably change our fortune this season IMO. The only thing that would drastically change my level of optimism is if our 11 best players were earmarked for nailing the Europe League. I see no other option as far as trying to secure a season worth remembering.I think the timing of this thread has skewered the reactions.
