There's nowt so predictable, and deluded, as a football fan.
The basic timeline of this thread when dipped in reality is that they:
- hit the bottom of League 2, then appointed Jack Lester, the man who could do no wrong - then appeared all over here giving it the big one saying it wouldn't be long before they'd be top of the league, or at least above us. A near certainty, apparently. Lester, unfortunately did everything wrong. Messiah no more. Result: relegation as bottom club. No sign of anyone from Chesterfield on here.
- Sacked Lester, appointed Martin Allen, then won 3 on the spin in the Conference and hit the top of the league. Couldn't move for Spireites on here suddenly remembering their passwords, stating how they were going to piss that raspberry league and how Allen was the messiah (what another one?). Fast forward 4 months, Chesterfield fighting relegation to the Conference North, no wins in a yonks, talks of protests against the owners, crowds to their lowest point, losing to Brackley in the FA Trophy. Even Allen, a man who'd have confidence in his own ability to survive if he was fired into the sun, was sounding a bit down. No sign of anyone from Chesterfield on here, again.
- Appointed John Sheridan as manager, apparently paid the most of any Chesterfield manager in the history of the (cash-strapped apparently) club, ergo the highest paid manager in the history of the conference, told to spend whatever he wanted to spend. Sheridan, as clear to anyone with a functioning brain, clearly lucked out with a role that was basically in his garden shed, compared to trekking to what is effectively Scotland. But yeah, if you want to think that he chose to move for the opportunity, then crack on. Win a few games, Braintree away a notable highlight. Suddenly here they are again, cant type their log-ins onto the site quick enough; promotion next year is a near certainty, I mean they may as well give it to them now, owner isn't so bad after all.
Jesus Christ, it's not great being a lower league fan at the best of times, we've seen it a lot worse than most, but have some flipping' respect for yourselves - you've already beaten the deluded raspberry drum on here for all its worth, dont come back beating it with a bigger stick every time you get above 15th in the conference. Have some humility, we'd have far more respect for you if you were at least consistently on here being deluded.
