Melancholy - and the turn around (+)

[Joe_Fox]

I have been thinking long and hard about our current situation and the main question that I always come back to is "Would it be so bad if we got relegated?". This produces the sub-questions below:

- Does being one of only a handful of teams to have never been out of the top two leagues really mean that much?
- Would a season in the third flight mean we could adopt a ground zero approach and build from scratch?
- Will Milan Mandaric hang around much longer if we get relegated?

All these questions have filled me with an extreme sense of dread and the more I mull it all over, the more I understand what the problem is. I believe that people at the club are asking themselves the same questions and this has meant that their attitutdes have become negative. This has in turn spilled out to everyone concerned with LCFC's plight and it's terrible.

What I say is this - stop asking these negative and completely unhelpful questions because the answers are as plain as blue:

- YES, it would be terrible to be relegated, it would be the worst thing that has ever happened to our beloved football club!

- YES, being one of the members of a group of teams that have NEVER EVER been outside the top two leagues is a great accomplishment so to fall out of it would be awful.

- YES, of course it would be

- NO, look at the Forest scenario - stuck there, and even mentioning THIRD FLIGHT makes me feel a bit sick.

- WHO KNOWS, despite being here for over a year now, Milan is an unknown quantity. He may decide that his 3 or 4 year plan is going to be unachieveable and therefore consider the plan a failure and cut his losses, he may plough more and more money in, he may not, we just do not know.

EITHER WAY JUST STOP THINKING ABOUT THE UNTHINKABLE AND START BEING A BIT MORE FECKING POSITIVE!

We can still put it right - the above questions should not even get the chance to be answered. LET'S TURN THIS AROUND!

I add here some + signs and urge everyone to do the same whenever anything they do could affect LCFC. The more + the better.

Thanks.

Stop being so positive. I'm fed up with all the positivity. Open your eyes, smell the coffee. I'm gonna do a Hutchence.

DOOMED

Full marks to you JF, too much damned negativity over the last few years has brought a level of apathy that is like treacle to get out of.

To get relegated would be fecking horrendous, but also how would it look if MM did feck off after considering LCFC as a bad move on his behalf.

As for anyone that thinks going into the third tier is a viable option, get real.

 

[FantasyFox]

you seem to know quite a lot about it, Steven. Any tips?

What I'll find annoying is that if we do stay up, it'll be deemed as some sort of achievement and everyone will be happy and over the moon. It will be good if we stay up, but in all honesty we shouldn't be in this sort of position to begin with. Therefore, I'll be relieved if we do stay up but I'll be far from happy.

Be prepared to pay extra, most hookers charge extra to 'turn off the gas'

I'm confused, surely you're guilty of negativity with that line?

Cost isn't usually an issue...I have more problems disposing of the body.

Typical of this forum,

Someone tries to inspire some belief and positive attitude and it degenerates into a discussion about pervy MP's and burying the dead.................. shame on you!!

What would you suggest we do?

I don't really give a shit I thought it was funny, maybe I should have put a :icon_wink at the end.

I think we need all results to go our way tomorrow so I am crossing all parts of my anatomy that will, and saying my prayers.

I always look forwards to these inspirational Joe Fox moments. When they come they usually do a great job but, somehow I'm still Joy Division when I should be AC/DC. :icon_cry:

No it won't and I bet there will be no-one on here with that mindset should we stay up.
