The Right Decision

The Right Decision Was Made

The Right Decision Was Made

I read your article oh dear what a predicament and I agree with every word you said. Your speech on not hiding behind a computer inspired me to write in. I havent always been a Swansea City supporter I am very new to the club. You may think the next paragraph is pointless but to me it means I can look at things from almost an outsiders point of view. Back Last season when things werent looking good for the swans my boyfriend who is a Merthyr Tydfil football club supporter insisted that we come to support Swansea and watch them as often as we could as he believes as welsh clubs we need to support each other in times of difficulties. This to me was the worst possible thing I hated football I found it one big pointless game and after sitting throw international match after international match I couldnt imagine anything worse than a third division club match well Merthyr is worse but it has a nice warm club house with alcohol which helped. Reluctantly myself my partner and his son jumped in the car and drove to the vetch. I loved every minuet of the game I loved the fans everything and ever since I have been to every home game and every away game my partner deems suitable for me to attend (being a girl and all). I have joined the supporters club and make every effort I can to support the club and its future. I have a lot of respect for Brian Flynn and I believe he helped the club and thank him for where we sit in the league today, but I also believe that that he has taken us far as he can. I believe your right the fa cup masked the true pictured and I cant tell you what the problem is as Im not behind the scenes to see it, but I dont believe the players are giving 100% week in week out and I believe this has to fall to the manager. Although I believe the club should have waited until they had somebody else to step in or waited until the end of the season to replace the manager, as I believe uncertainty is not helpful at this stage. You can reply on the message board that Im not a true supporter you can abuse and write anything you like in response but that wont help anyone not even the club and it wont effect me in anyway. We are all entitled to our opinion and if you dont agree with me then feel free to argue against me in a decent manner. I believe shameless abuse some people have suffered is disgusting and completely unnecessary we are all supporters we need to stand together whether we share the same opinion or not. Im sure we all dont agree with decisions the club have made on occasions does this mean we shouldnt go to matches? No that would just destroy the club.
