I asked ChatGPT to "create a post in the style of MJC on steelmenonline.co.uk" Thread Title: "If That’s Our Ambition, Then God Help Us" Posted by MJC Right, I’ve tried to stay off here for a bit but after watching that yesterday I genuinely wonder what’s going on at this club. We’ve just had a pre-season where we’ve allegedly strengthened, yet here we are playing hoofball against a team that finished 9th last season and looked like they couldn’t be bothered to get out of second gear. Is this the grand new era we were promised? More like the same old p*sh, just with a fresh coat of Dulux. The manager says “the boys gave everything” – aye, well if that’s everything, we’re in for a long season. No shape, no urgency, no clue. And as for some of the new signings – honestly, I’ve seen more presence in a ghost town. We let players go, tell the fans we’re building something, then turn out a performance like that and expect folk to pay £25 a ticket and clap like seals? Sorry, not for me. Call me negative (as usual) but unless there’s a serious wake-up call, we’ll be sleepwalking into another relegation scrap by Halloween. Anyway, I’ll leave it there before I say something I’ll regret.

This season has got disaster written all over it. An out of the box appointment with zero knowledge of the Scottish game and players signed by a previous manager just doesn’t bode well I fear. JBA = “Just Bloody Awful”

The whole needing knowledge of the scottish game is such backwards thinking,imagine we had appointed someone like Pressley,it's guys like that and the kettlewells that will stop any kind of improvement in this country as long as there employed.we play in a league where 10 teams are separated by very little and any manager coming into it can be reasonably successful if they have half a brain in there head.

Did Wimmer have knowledge of the Scottish game? And surely JBA has played in the UK as a footballer? Wimmer also won games with players he didn't sign, as have other managers

I don't have any problem signing players from relegated or nearly relegated teams, We have had plenty of stand-outs over the years in teams that have been hovering above the drop. You just need to look at the starting line-up for our play-off against Rangers to see a few good examples. Faddy was another one that played in a poor team that would have been relegated if Falkirk had put seats in their stadium. Gary McAllister also played in poor Motherwell sides.

The other alleged striker is Robinson who for me is brutal so I think we need another striker in ASAP and move Robinson on when's hes fit

For the avoidance of any doubt. I am a legacy member. But I also still pay a direct debit, so Im not arguing from a selfish perspective. Just trying to see it from both sides and find a middle ground.

Yeh we should try and avoid the types like seddon that have had over 200 competitive appearances before joining us.
