much like when a country can't divulge highly classified information publicly for obvious economic and military reasons, a professional soccer organization must keep certain things in - house so they don't devalue a player, expose a weakness, provide info that could give an opposing club leverage in future negotiations and / or give them vital intel regarding a future match, but when dishonesty becomes the norm the relationship between cub and fan will surely deteriorate... in our particular case, our club has done an
absolutely atrocious job when it comes to cultivating a healthy and honest relationship with the media or their fans, which has contributed greatly to our lack of success in the transfer market... along with poor decisions involving weekly wages, we can't ever seem to get true market value for most of our outgoing players and other teams seem to squeeze every last cent out of us when we
are looking to buy; why wouldn't they, when you go to the table with such a openly desperate and dysfunctional team like ours, you have all the leverage; made even worse by the fact that who wouldn't want to see our incredibly arrogant and thrifty manager squirm during the process... the real issue at this club
is respect, a word that appears to
be entirely lost on those within our hierarchy... this
is the starting point from which all
great relationships between club and supporters form... this doesn't mean that a team can't make mistakes along the way, that
's just
human nature, it
's about how they chose to deal with these situations that will determine if this relationship flourishes or devolves..
First of all I stumbled across this site and think it
is absolutely amazing with what your write and
is already giving me a
great understanding and made everything so clear and the fact you reply to everyone says a lot for yourself and the kind of
human being you
are.
