The
results of a major FA investigation were revealed to the public
yesterday, which will signal an end to the long lived myth that
all unsuccessful Nationwide clubs are simply 'sleeping giants'.
The report uncovers the fundimental
issues behind the lowly status of these clubs - they just aren't
any good.
It concludes with the proposition
that all small clubs are thus technically 'sleeping giants' as every
football club has the potential to win every game for the next 'X'
years and hence become more 'successful'.
"We are a massive, massive
club" exclaimed a deluded Exeter City fan during a football
phone-in radio show last week. "All we need is a better manager,
a much better squad, a bigger and better stadium and about 100 million
pounds. We are so close I can virtually taste the metallic tint
of the silverware already."
The fans of Exeter are just
one of an increasing band of over optimistic football fans who despite
concrete evidence (Exeter at time of writing being near the bottom
of Division 3), believe that their club has a god given right to
be doing better than they currently are.
Another group of brainwashed
fans are those of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. The last time this
team won any silverware was the mickey mouse League Cup in the '79-80
season. Their only valid claim for being a 'big club' is that they
already have a decent stadium.
"We're really going up
this season" pledged Wolves fans just before the collosal slump
that lost them their automatic promotion place last season.
Lord Thwait, a convicted sex
offender and member of the report findings committe, has sent documentation
to all Nationwide football clubs offering an explanation of the
reports findings and gives simple advice on the basics of football
club management.
A certain high profile Division
1 chairman was shocked to find out that paying £40k a week
to a semi-retired Italian striker is not economically viable in
todays footballing climate. It is this type of naivety and downright
inbred cretinous behaviour that is dragging back any half-decent
football club.
As long as these chaotic footballing
extremists have their way, football clubs will forever be snoozing
through history...
