The People's Forum: I think too much social media is a problem

I've not been able to use X/Twitter today because my feed is so full of rage and negativity.

Even this place, which is typically a bastion of reasonableness and good humour, has been hijacked by a couple of people who are shouting down anybody that isn't repeating doom and gloom.

I think I've just come to expect that if we win social media is great because it reinforces all the positivity I feel, but if we lose then I have to ignore it.

I don't believe that social media is polarising people, and turning the average fan more extreme. It just gives a large platform to the minority of people who are have extreme view and amplifies them. Social media is giving the most vocal and annoying fan in the ground a loudspeaker. It's easy to assume you're hearing a representation of the fan base, but you're not.

I don't think Moyes has "lost the fans" and he definitely hasn't lost the dressing room. Look around the Premier League now and very few sets of fans are united behind their manager and players.

Yesterday was particularly frustrating because 8th was within reach. We've had a very frustrating end to the season, and the manager has made some mistakes. But I'd rather the club as whole work towards improvement and I still think Moyes can be part of that effort.

So after yesterdays result, seeing the comments below, looking over social media and listening to the Blue Room podcast I get the feeling we are close to a tipping point.

I'm torn myself. If Iraola or Glasner agreed to join us I would be all for replacing but what if they didnt want to come? And why would they anyway?

Thats why I'm not calling for Moyes to be sacked but at the same time I do want to see change in emphasis and a swift replacement of the Dyche era players that Moyes has continued to play without question.

The sight of Dwight McNeil coming on with ten minutes to go when Alcaraz or Dibling would have been better options seemed like Moyes was almost trolling the fans and has been mentioned online was the final straw for some.

It seems from Kinnears message that Moyes will be staying on but if we dont give him a new contract what is the point, we will be buying this summer mainly for the next manager and even if we do give him a new contract I think there would be uproar.

What do others tink?
