Paying customers - entitled to criticise.

I have been a Boro fan and paying Season Ticket Holder for many years. When I helped found the Middlesbrough Supporters Forum we agreed to cover all topics relevant to football fans and Boro fans in particular. The one topic not permitted in our meetings with MFC was the football. Having quit the MSF I thought I would enjoy the football more without intimate knowledge of MFC machinations and politics. I am disappointed and dismayed by the dismal performances of my beloved Boro this season. I fear I am rapidly becoming disillusioned too. Once again, unlike others, we go into another season unprepared and catching up. Our much vaunted scouting system has failed yet again to deliver and promised transfer targets have failed to materialise. Around 18,000 paying season ticket holders have been enticed to sign up for what now just seems to be “hype”. As for the start of the season we seem have become a toothless chaotic rudderless ship led by a headless chicken in Chris Wilder. Steve Gibson needs to act ambitiously and quickly if our season is to be turned around, and convince us paying season card customers that we’ve not been taken for “suckers”. Up The Boro!

Glad you`ve signed up for FMTTM - but I cant agree the problem is Chris Wilder.
Another Manager, another change of staff, another change of players, another style, another, blah, blah, blah......[We`ve all been there before havent we?].
The latest issues have risen again and again, as certain as the high and low tides everyday at Redcar.
It was a milestone in 2017 when MSF was set up and the club actually took it on board.
I dont know if Pete Hodgson and Chris Joseph are still involved?
Call me a cynic, but I`ve always perceived Boro supporter "involvement" as a window-dressing talking - shop for the club, rather than anything productive.
Tinkering at the periphery.
The club is run the way it wants, anything else is good publicity.
Why did you chuck it in?

Peter Hodgson very sadly passed away recently and my reason for “chucking it in” is probably best kept to myself. Chris
