Pathetic spoilt little brats

I think it’s just the frustration of a lack of signings when other teams with money ( or even those with huge debts) are signing decent players and we are not signing anyone of note.
We’ll be ok I’m sure but promotion unlikely with the current squad.
We’ll win tomorrow though 🤞

What makes these people spoilt exactly?

There are supporters who are way too reactionary and prone to criticising the club at every turn. That’s true.

There also seem to be some who are happy for us to do the bare minimum.

There’s a middle ground here, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting the club to spend a bit of money to right the wrongs of last season.
 
It really wouldn’t have taken a lot of investment to cement ourselves in this seasons top 3 or 4. We haven’t bothered, so let’s see. I’m disappointed. It’s not being spoilt, it’s just hoping for a little positivity after numerous abysmal managerial appointments and key players leaving and not being replaced. We’ll see.

Arrogance. That’s all it is. Quotes like “ we should be beating teams like this”.
I agree, we needed players in, but Jesus, the reaction by some, is pathetic.

Different opinions? Is that so wrong?

It's not opinions though is it, I have no problem with opinions but the above is just childish name calling with no actual reasons why they think everything is great. And before you say I have done the same, I have but I have given my opinions plenty and backed up my arguments with my thoughts. I may be right, I may be wrong, but at least I say why.
 
Not really. over 8 hours without a goal, a side weakened by selling players and not replacing them, and another match at home against Wigan tomorrow where in all probability we don't score again. The club have sold Yates for 2.5 million yet Bristol Rovers can sign what would have been more than an adequate replacement in Clark Harris for 800k. We get a has been from Huddersfield on a season long loan. Doesn't cut it for many fans no matter what you might be saying. Sadler in the same position Oyston was in 5 years ago, that is the chairman of a mid table league one club, with no training ground no new east stand and a team worth peanuts. The only difference is he has a moretti lounge. He can go for me and sell the club to someone who wont keep firing off excuses. Pilley might be in prison but he has put the money in to poolfoot farm, and invested in players. All we have is a trail of failed appointments, poor player signings, a cancelled training complex and a team of league 2 at best players now.

Well putting Dobbie in charge couldn’t have been any worse than Critchley?

And would putting Dobbie in charge definitely be better than a man who's been entrusted with developing players at Liverpool, got promotion from League One at the first time of asking and comfortably kept us in an incredibly strong Championship when relegation favourites?

Agree with that. We’ve got no divine right to beat any other club.

We should however expect our club to be ambitious as possible and for the last 12 months that hasn’t been the case.

Yes because he wouldn’t play Connolly at left wing back.
 
I think some are confusing being spoilt/pathetic with actually having standards. Some of us like to see a Blackpool side that can score goals, and some of us aren't satisfied by being an average league one club because it is absolutely not where we should be.
It's partly due to our acceptance of our lot (I mean as a club, not just the fans) that we have languished down here for so much of the last few decades. It isn't good enough.

It's early days and we could improve - hopefully we will. But the fact is that we haven't replaced our two most effective attacking players (Yates and Anderson) with permanent signings that can slot straight in and affect the first team. Joseph may turn out a good signing tbf. But only one isn't enough. It seems to me we're too obsessed with development squad signings which is strange because we never give any of them a chance when they're seemingly ready, so what's really the point?
 
People spend £1000s every season to watch Blackpool play. My neighbour has 4 season tickets, his kids have all three shirts, plus the training gear, he gets a new polo shirt every season as well as the money he spends in the concourse. I think when you're investing so much time, energy and money into something, you're entitled to have a moan when something obviously hasn't gone according to plan. At the end of the day. We have 2 fit strikers right now, one of thoes doesn't look good enough for this level, and we havent scored in over 8 hours of football. It's hardly ideal.
 
To be fair this isn't people moaning because we aren't winning, it down to dour football with no real attacking intent. If we played for a win and lost some along the way, I know some would still complain that we lack some steel, but many would be forgiving. Likewise if our youngsters were shown up for lack of experience, I would like to think the fans would be patient with them. Maybe it's easy to say that now given how things are going, so apologies for taking the benefit of hindsight, but we want to see the team having a good go, that's all.
 
People absolutely have a right to be upset especially considering Critchley said it’d be a busy day this morning with a permanent and loan in.

I think many overstated how many we needed to bring in, but having the manager come out and say that and not deliver is a HORRIBLE look.

With that said, not bringing anyone in today doesn’t tank our season like many think.

We still on the whole had a solid Summer with 10 men in, I think everyone’s anxiety has been driven up due to the poor start and wanted the transfer window to solve some of that anxiety.

Everyone will calm down once the performances turn around…

Never known toxicity like it from what seems like the most entitled fans in the country.
As soon as they don't get their own way the manager has to go, the chairman and the board have to go; it's embarrassing from what are supposed to be grown men.

I'm expecting a Scoody Doo ending where Sadler rips his mask off and it's really Karl Oyston. He would have got away with if it wasn't for those pesky AVFTTers.

That's quite funny. But Sadler is a million miles away from those twonks.
