We will limp home this year in the bottom six and get relegated next year, lose Ziggy, McGovern, Crawford and bring new kids through. It will take 2-3 years then we will be challenging for promotion again. Repeat repeat repeat.
Then they better expect crowds of less than 500 as Accies have ruined the dreams of fans wanting our best ever finish by penny pinching.The mood is starting to get "Watsonesque" and now the happy clappers have turned against the Manager,they have to do something.
I know folk who have been going for 30-40 years and they are more angry now than for many years.They feel like the club have taken them for mugs-not for the first time-and a lot of people will drift away like what happened in the late 70's to mid 80's pre Lambie.Average home crowd went from 2500 to at times 500.
Times are different now.Folk will walk away due to this lack of ambition and won't be back.You won't have a Section A singing support either.A lot of these young guys have grown up supporting us in spite of the Old Filth,your ever present Premiership football,Barcelona's etc.
For the first time in years,Accies had the respect of non committed locals,crowds were increasing and there was pride in the club.People wherever you went were talking about Accies.Revert back to the no ambition type of many years and you will see season book sales halve as well.
It is their call.They fcuked this season up badly with the arrogance of thinking an untried Manager could succeed and keep us doing nicely without purchasing any decent players.The call they make from here on in will decide the direction we go.
From laughing at next door,they will soon be back to being the main team in Lanarkshire.This was our chance to ram it right up them after the years of John Boyle raiding Hamilton for fans with free tickets for Hamilton schools.If they understood the fans,they would build on this,not decimate it.
Accies fans are the most important consideration here.About time Ronnie,Les,Canning,the players and officials realised this as we have seen plenty false dawns and reigning in ambition.Do this again and folk will vote with their feet.One goal from open play in NINE games is unacceptable at any level of football.
