There seem to be a lot of depressed blues on the site right now. While some are worried that we will become a fallen 'big name' let's have some balance. We are where we are due to a number of reasons ? most of which have been discussed on the site over the years. Let us not become a Sunderland where a few years ago some decent results led them to think they were a big club (I know EFC are an actual big club).

Moyes is no God of a manager but neither is he the worst. A couple of years ago, we could see he had a lot to learn in the 1st Euro campaign; he learnt some lessons there... We have no money. Say what you will about BK and the Kirkby move, we do neeed some cash in. The team is full of good to very good footballers. They are not doing as well at present as they have recently but consistency is the name of the game; we had a hard start with effectively no side and have had to catch up and educate players along the way.

On another note, my pet hate is the lack of business nouse. Sponsored by a brewery and not having any beer or being able to get at it when we do have some is laughable. If Mr Chang came to Goodision and saw 35,000 thirsty scousers, would he not wonder why he is only selling 12 cans a week???

When we do have a new stadium (wherever), can someone please do something about merchandising? We should make a million every home game. Where are the EFC outlets, etc? That's my personal rant ? there will be more to come on that subject whenever I queue all half-time and have the door shut in my face with no beer. A good ground would be keeping fans in place after the match, selling them food and drink while they look at the full-time scores or the late kick-off.

Why does the new ground in Kirkby mean we?ll have cash coming in? Has this been guaranteed?

The merchandising issue is a priority, though. The club needs a city centre presence. I can?t be the only one who used to pop into the club shop in town but rarely ventures to the megastore.

Moyes has learned no lessons. Every year the team comes out totally unprepared for the new season. European qualification so painfully achieved the year before is frittered away cheaply, the team and club?s progress fall back years because of lack of signings and we become a laughing stock. All this due to Moyes?s refusal to criticise Kenwright?s mismanagement and ego trip.
