Nobody is making that claim, who are you debating?
You have cross linked two different ideas, one of which hasn't come from anything I've posted.
The club fully and intentionally spruiked the positives pre-season, the coach, the new CEO, the footy department where all out telling us to look forward to new game style with an attacking edge. But they have since revealed that at least in the top echelons they didn't believe what they were publicly speaking about!
Either way they were deceptive. If the pre-season stuff wasn't fake, then it means the stuff they spruik now is, they cannot have it both ways! Are they are doing a Caro, and saying they were wrong because things changed?
This is probably why Baggers and many others feel they are making stuff up on the run!
Personally, I don't think they are making stuff up, but I think they have been very poorly advised or managed by somebody! Somebody thought the fans were all illiterate idiots that could be led in any direction without recourse, boards have been turned on less!
And by the way. I don't think anyone would have put their wallet away if the club had just been truthful, in fact I can say I do not know a single fellow supporter who wouldn't have still forked out their cash if the club had been fully truthful! But our perception and enjoyment of the season would have been very different, because we would have been looking for positives instead of results!
