I feel a disconnection in that I can't morally justify spending £45-£50 on something that only serves to help line pockets of millionaire players and billionaire owners, especially when we are treated with little but contempt by those who make the decisions at the club.

I love the game of football but the business around it is a massive problem for me.

£45 you must sit in the the cheap seats - never really been any different football has always had rich owners and rich players and the supporters just a bit more extreme these days - without the business side you don't have modern football - not sure how the owners treat people with contempt don't get that, you either go or you don't - every one has to make their own decisions - loads of non league clubs be pleased of your support and they certainly aint owned by millionaires or have millionaire players

I never said I had a seat, I said it was my membership fee. I've never been more than a bronze member not on the season tickets waiting list.

Anyway, I have stated my reason.

I feel disconnected from the club in the sense that I don’t feel the clubs ambitions and my hopes align. For the money I pay I would like to be entertained most weeks ( duff performances happen so I don’t moan about those or if we get West Brom’d ) whereas under Jose I felt entertainment was never a priority.

I would like the clubs second aim, after entertainment to be trying to compete for trophies ( I have no entitlement about winning them ) but feel the boards main aim is max revenue generation.

I support the club and always will, but my feelings are negative towards the board and how the club is being run currently and that has caused me to not want give the club any of my money at the moment.

the football was terrible under Mourinho he was the wrong appointment and should have been sacked much earlier and I think we would have finished in the top 4 - the funny thing is that you asked for entertainment but that's never a priority winning matches is and despite what we all say including me if you win ugly every week supporters will be happy - all of us would love to play silky smooth football and win but play that way and lose it soon changes - the trouble is we neither won enough or played good football under him - hopefully whoever comes in will change that

competing for trophies fair enough - but we have been in a European cup final seemingly endless cup semi finals a few league cups qualified for Europe every season now for gawd knows how long and in terms of consistency in league posis in the last decade we have never done better - I think the thing is that success for the football club isn't all about shiny pots its probably more about Champions League football and full houses where as a lot of us supporters want the occasional open top bus down Tottenham High Rd - the truth is the two are quite compatible imo
