Has The Time Come?

[Lord Football]

For discussion........


Players not paid since mid December.
Manager not paid since mid December.
Free fall down the League.
Two court cases vs HMRC
No new permanent players paid for, for at least the last 14 months. (maybe more, not sure if we paid for JFC)
Morale at rock bottom, both on the pitch and on the terraces
All eggs in the White Elephant that is Fossets Farm.
Admin a possibility
Relegation looking more likely every day.


Just how long are we gonna sit on our arses and do nothing and watch our club go down the swanny?

Has the time come to show our anger at the people who are making bad decision after bad decision.

Over to you.....

And do what exactly?

Is it possible to merge the other 7,000,000 threads including this one, with all the others? ;)

Your right OBD, it does have just the faintest hint of déjà vu about it.

I thought it might be the has the time come for the squad to gel thread.
I should have guessed positivity is still not apparent even though Tilly has them playing much better now.
Oh well, back to the grind...

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

Negativity toward any part of the club isn't going to help much right now is it.. at the end of the season it can start, but when we're in a relegation battle towards the latter part of the season you've just got to suck it up and support.

I thought this is why a supporters trust was formed???????

Obviously not - must be more concerned with getting that seat on the board.

They are currently searching for a cure for Polio I believe.

Once that is done they will turn there attention to helping the club.

Why is this something to complain about ?

Prior to the Championship season we didn't buy players and relied on freebies so why should it be different now ?

 

[bilbyboy]

The time for any kind of protest is when/if we go into administration, when/if we are definately relegated, or at the end of the season. Now is the time to get behind the team, management and coaching staff 100%, anything else could be detrimental to the performance of the team, they have enough distractions as it is, i am sure that any kind of protest against the board would only add to these distractions. UTB

In a word - yes. Won't happen though. Football's become an over-sanitised sport where fans are brainwashed into believing supporting your club is about buying merchandise, waving flags and "getting behind the team". The days of a decent enough number of fans mobilising themselves to fight for the soul of their club are gone.

Yes, it may distract the players. Yes, it may be detrimental to our performance on the pitch in the short term. However this is about the long term future of the club, which has to take precedence surely?

has the time come... for a Bart vs Flavs poll?

Who said the manager has not been paid since mid December?
Not heard this one.

If it is true he is hardly likely to shout about it.

Steve Tilson is in the premier league at keeping his mouth shut about wages and other behind the scenes things


So where did you hear about this Lord Football? Because I know it didn't come from Steve Tilson. If true, it makes the Echo/Ron Martin fall-out an even bigger own goal, and something the Echo should look into.

Which of course they now will as they often trawl here for potential lines of inquiry...

" We want Martin out sing We want Martin out."

Please discuss a board rebellion...

 

[C C Csiders]

Some fabulous work of fiction on 6-0-6 about the players scoring a deliberate own goal tonight in protest at their alleged lack of salary payments.

yeah lets spend more money we haven't got that will help alot!

 

[superblue24]

umm, ok. Lets just complain about the fact our players are not being paid what they owe, and that this alone is rotting our club from the inside....?

Does that work, or does it also constitute "spending more money we haven't got"?
