Love the optimism but seriously, it is not a simple league and results are unpredictable, just like our owner

Im very confident. People may not like VT but he knows how important it is to get back up. Hopefully he will then sell.
I hope the fans dont make it a season long protest. I want a winning team and for us to be then sold.
Hearing that chant "we'll always be blue" is getting a tad repetitive.

But we aren't, not for 3 seasons at least.
The time was from the beginning, not when we were facing relegation.

The rebrand came with promises.. bar maybe the extension of the stand he hasn't delivered on any of them.
We have every right to demand our colours back.

& many people have said it from the start. It gathered momentum when Tan started to move away from his promises.
He promised to invest millions into the team, he did. Malky a nice guy, but messed up.
LOAN... Not invest.
Did he promise premiership football?
no.
I want the colours back, I'm a little cynical as only a tiny fraction complained. A lot more got involved once they realised we were going down. (Do me a favour Chuckles....just move on from this thread)
no, a lot of people realised that tan was starting to move away from what he had promised. That has seen the numbers rise.
If we are successful, VT will sell. We need to be successful.
Finally, When we were at Burnley before we went up.........was anyone singing "We'll always be blue?"
yep. Several. It was also in full force when Tan & Borley walked out with the trophy at the end of last season vs Bolton... I'm sure you will remember.
Do you get my point now. It's not half as important as people make out it is. The Echo campaign is a company decision based on extra readers etc.
maybe the identity isn't important to you, but it is to me & evidently countless others.![]()

Rubbish...............
The same deluded attitude that was evident last season,
We should be beating teams like Newcastle, Villa, Palarse, Hull, Stoke at home![]()
Wrong, we're going to walk fook all.

That is mainly because the money they owed belonged ot 3rd parties.
Our debt belongs to basically the guy that pulls the strings. Someone who would not miss it all if he decided to knock us on the head. Fortunately for us he comes from a society where loss of face is a lot worse than £100 million. Specially as its pocket money to him.
Next season will be interesting. Tan believes he can buy promotion. It looks like he is giving Ole the chance. For his own pride he needs Ole to win the championship. After all he has said about Malky if Ole does not deliver then Tan is going to lose face a lot more than we will appreciate.

No offence taken.
I got no satisfaction watching us get promoted in red 2 seasons ago and being honest I can't see it being any different this time around if we do pull it off. Just how I feel about it all. However if we return to blue then those feeling will disappear into oblivion.

Its confidence, it beats being a miserable "woe is me type." We have made 2 very good signings so far.
