Why do people want a rich owner to bring the success? Do you really want the club you love to be in massive debts and possibly in years to come, in a financial mess just to see trophies? Do you really love the club or do you really love trophies?
Why am I seeing comments about people considering not going to games because we are playing poorly and not winning as many games as we would like? Being a supporter isn't just about being there for the good and great times, you are a supporter in the bad and very bad times. If you support the club, then support the club! I'm not saying you can't make comments on how things could be done differently etc but to not go to games because we are no longer the dominant team is pathetic.
When will people realise that having so many injuries and injuries to key players will make a difference? This isn't an excuse but it has played a massive part in our struggles this season.
I want to see us win European trophies and Premiership titles but I know that we cannot do this as regularly as we would like. My love and support for the club won't change whether we win 20 more trophies or no more trophies. I realise things are not right at the moment but whatever does or doesn't happen in the near future or further in the future, this is the best club in the world and I love it!
Its the same with England since 2003 before EJ stepped in, they were always expected to win, but that didn't make them a good side, it made them worse, the constant goal of top 4 is not the right mind set anymore. Should be top six aslong as we're improving our game.
My loyalty to Tigers will not change, but you can understand peoples frustration. We are not succesful currently, and it's not because we have bad or injured players, if it were to do with injurys it would be proof that we contantly rely on the likes of Manu and Toomua, and we should just expect to be a bad side when they're away.
And lack of an owner means we cannot afford injury cover.
It's not the amount defeats or wins, its the manner in which we are playing. Tigers are probably one of the most incosistent teams in the prem at the moment. Apart from a few occasions the majority of our wins have been off the boot, we have struggled tremedously getting over the try line unless its through the pack.
Enjoy the loses loyally if you wish, but more is to be expected of those lucky enough to wear the red, white, and green. A team of A class players who can't perform (consistently).
