And I'm so angry about the utter arrogance and complacency that has led us here, that after over thirty five years following this club, I'm not pissing about spending the same fortune it costs now to get to watch the same shit squad get mullered by Brentford rather than Man City.
"I can't see what all the fuss is about" *absolutely* sums up everything that has gone wrong this season, the board STILL don't get it, or more likely they do get it but don't give a shit.
This relegation will be devastating for the city of Stoke on Trent, and many people will lose their jobs over it. It's not just about football.
Since the owners of our club have decided that football is 100% about hard nosed business and financial decisions, I am taking the same approach and will not waste another penny of my hard earned cash propping up an arrogant board and a bunch of massively overpaid pansies who can't even be arsed to bother trying.
Be crap all you like, be awful and go down fighting, I can handle that, I cannot however handle the arrogance, the complacency and the downright bloody laziness.
We've had worse results at Stoke, we've slid down the leagues but at no point can I remember a squad that treated the job, the club and the fans with such arrogant contempt, and I cannot and will not support it a moment longer.
There's only one thing hard nosed businessmen listen to, and that's the cash drying up. So that's what I'm doing.
Cue a load of people to tell me I'm "not a real fan", well I *am* a real fan and I've stood on the terraces through all manner of crap over the years but for all that but I not a bloody mug and that's what I'd need to be to give this shower another penny.
I can get my football "fix" from watching small non-league local teams. Done it before, many times, and there's a damn site more passion and commitment in those games than you'll see from our bunch of lazy money grabbing tossers.
