If you haven’t worked out that a clubs sustainable fortunes on the pitch are inextricably linked to the competency and commitment of the owner then fair enough, but it is.
We have a bloody good owner for the first time in over 20 years and there is nothing wrong in being happy about that.
LeicesterTheres a huge difference between being happy about it and singing a song about him. For a lot of us, it's embarrassing.
Can you name another club who sing a song about their owners?

You are entitled to your view as I am entitled to mine.I'll say 2 things about that, firstly, King hasn't achieved anywhere near what the owners of those clubs have.
Secondly, they're still embarrassing for doing it and so are we.
But if people want to sing it, fine, just don't cry about it when it gets booed, which is equally embarrassing.

I still think they are entitled moronsI agree, and the people that booed are entitled to theirs.

I'll be honest I thought it was about Watford fans in the match thread!It's pretty f*cking weird to boo a song that your own fans are singing. Like, really f*cking bizzare.
Why ? We don’t apply that logic to players. They get a song from the outset.All that is fair enough and I have nothing against King, but the songs lyrics give it away. He gets a song because basically he's not SISU. I think he needs a good while longer before we decide he's been a "bloody good owner".
Yesterday was the first time I'd heard his song booed. So obviously, fairly or not, a few aren't happy.

How many were booing Torch?
Said in an earlier post I didn't hear it and only knew it happened because my mate did and he mentioned it.

I agree. Said the same on another thread. What is behind it? Lack of signings in midfield? MR basically said he was shut down from strengthening with free agents during the international break. Or the pricing for the Spurs game? Who knows. King has shot himself in the foot a few times with pricing, particularly for kids. Not to mention the ticket exchange thing.

That'll be a department issue rather than king directly I would have thought?I agree. Said the same on another thread. What is behind it? Lack of signings in midfield?

And that can be said of Robins and every player in our squad.He gets some things right, he gets some wrong.
The adulation he gets is weird though, even if he isa massive upgrade on the previous mob.
Just a point about the song...Mr King didn’t put it out there. Our fans did, now it’s an issue because? Some fans don’t think it should be sung. Do you know who the problem is here?
Unbelievable shift in narrative being created here.
Because King has charged extra for the posh boxes, not brought a 33 year old midfielder in and over charged for a cup game against Premier league opponents.
We’re an entitled bunch of pricks aren’t we.

I think the song is more about being rid of Sisu and the dark days than it is Doug King himself. It could have been anyone who came in and replaced them, the relief of them going and the dawn of a new era brought great optimism and it is a way of vocalising that.
If you don’t like some of the decisions he’s made, of which some I disagree with, then don’t join in the singing.
Neither have I and that's not a reflection on the job he's done.I have never joined in the song. Like I said I was booing as I was messing about with my pals. I didn’t anticipate people joining in

By and large, he's moving the club in the direction it needs to go if we want to be a Prem team. Unfortunately, the Prem and even now the Championship is treats football fans as consumers - £35 to follow City away the last two matches. Unbelievably, Leeds will be our cheapest away day in the league so far!
Football fans as a whole our fickle. When we win a few games again, all will be forgotten and the Robins and King hero-worship will continue.
Why would you or anyone? He's just an owner and they come and go like players - I understand there was a lot of bad blood toward SISU but that didn't make King a good owner by default.I will not worship King any time soon I’m afraid. Nothing to do with ticket prices either

There's no shift in narrative, each action should be judged on its own merits.
He's done some great stuff, he's done some bad stuff
The idea he shouldn't be criticised by paying supporters because he's an upgrade on sisu is pathetic.
Like I said a shift in the very positive narrative to a point where fans are booing his song ffs.
Btw I mentioned those three specific things not as a whole but how fucking trivial they are.
Even judged separately they really don’t merit booing his song.
Like I said we’re a bunch of entitled twats.
