So, according to Sarver fans being upset is just a media story. Seriously, what world does this guy live in?

http://arizonasports.com/?sid=1604270&nid=132

It's worth noting here that this is becoming a pattern with Sarver. He was in denial about the impact of players and their worth on this franchise. He has been in denial about the worth of draft picks. He has been in denial about having proper basketball minds in the front office. He is in denial about how upset the fans are.

love when people take things out of context, change it around and did not even listen to the interview.

He said season ticket holders that were polled were not unhappy with the direction of the team.

Besides there are 2 threads about this already and I can't believe people are overall angry with Sarver about that interview. He handled himself very well while Gambo came across like an absolute ignorant douchebag which he is.

Ooops. Didn't catch this in the other threads.

However, Slinslin...once again you are ridiculous. First off, nobody is judging Sarver's ability to handle himself in an interview or how the big bad interviewer treats poor Mr. Sarver. If that is not a "squirrel"....not sure what is. Not even the topic at hand. Second, there is nothing taken out of context. His words "I would say that we monitor all of the information that comes in from our ticket holders and our fans, and I would disagree with that."

NOTE to SlinSlin....he didn't just say ticket holders. Here let me help...."AND OUR FANS". This all coming from the guy who posted an email address to provide Sarver and his management feedback. I guess any feedback provided there is out of context too.

MODS feel free to merge with one of the other threads. Although I think Sarver's continued delusional state of the franchise is worth it's own thread.

I heard one caller on the radio who claimed to be a season ticket holder and that they give feedback to the Suns FO every 30 days. He said the last 30 day feedback session was canceled. I personally do not know how it works but it would explain some things.

Ha ha ha. Maybe that is why he disagrees. He has not received any recent feedback. After all, I am sure the media puts fans up to it to provide the negative feedback.

In fact, maybe Slinslin works for the media and provided us that email address to confirm Sarver's suspicions. IT'S ALL MANUFACTURED I TELL YA!

No, but these idiots on the radio claiming most fans are pissed off based on a 100 tweets is a hoot. First off, most people don't use twitter and 2nd, those that do are mostly very young and doubtful to be season ticket holders. So a small fraction of fans are being loud, it's hardly proof that "most Suns fans are pissed off".

For heavens sake, most Suns "fans" think Majerle should have been made coach, it's not a popularity contest. I'm more disgusted that these Yahoo's are playing this game then I am Gentry was canned. The F.O. has made lots of mistakes, this isn't even close to being one for me.

I'd agree with him. Most Suns fans I know aren't upset, they're apathetic.

Nobody is claiming that the fans are running around with pitchforks. However, Suns fans are far from happy. The point is you have to wonder if Sarver even cares or he is seriously that out of touch.

The team and the organization would be better off if they were...people are just tuning out completely, indifference is far worse than hate or anger.

Hard to blame them, anti-Midas has done a fantastic job of alienating them.

Ah, we are using tuning forks rather than pitchforks. :)

OK, now back to resentment.
