Benjam!n Ultra Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Do NOT buy a ticket for our weekly defeat this Saturday against Fleetwood. SL will not want to admit his failure of a choice is a failure so you need to hit the board where it hurts - money. I think we all know SL won't actually sack LJ until we continue this run into L1 next season. SL will not be able to ignore a low crowd, especially with prices as low as they are. It will be more of a statement against LJ than us actually losing, which isn't unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I don't think a low crowd against Fleetwood would do much really, to SL's pocket or LJ's future. They'll be quite prepared for a small crowd given the opposition and recent form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 We need to support our team, LJ or no LJ. I dont think boycotting the game is the right thing to do. I dont think chopping and changing managers is a good idea either. Bring in some experienced help fo LJ maybe until the end of the season. Of course defeat against Fleetwood could spark more than a bit of head scratching. Support you team. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Already bought my ticket and looking forward to being there to support my team. Not sure how a boycott will achieve anything. We need to support the team and hope that a win on Saturday starts to get a bit of confidence back and that plays its part in improving our league position. Simple as that.

It's not something that actually concerns most adults tbh. I just want the best for the club and at this stage that is to remain in this division under the stewardship of a manager who knows what they're doing. I've chucked enough money away this season watching us struggle, a vote with the feet is a fine way to show displeasure - no in or out ground protests, no effecting the team on the day or calls for the managers head or booing during the 90 mins. It's imo the most appropriate sign of disapproval of the current manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I was born and raised in Brescia (parents are both English, before the racial go home comments appear) and I can remember my friends from school going to the training ground and venting their anger! It's not our culture but it definatley gets stuff ironed out. The manager came out and took questions and criticism from the fans and they turned the season around.

What if we sack the manager and we end up paying his settlements fees and we still go down? none of us have a crystal ball... the only thing i know is that it is not healthy to constantly sack managers when things aren't going our way and eventually we will need to back someone. Between MA & LJ we do seem to have a direction of what we want to do and achieve. Yes atm this is not working but im one for backing a plan for the long term and seeing it through rather than constantly chopping and changing. Nothing was ever built without stability... Man Utd and alex ferguson are the biggest highlight of this.... imagine where they would have been had they sacked him instead they back him and enjoyed huge success and now without him are struggling to make top 4.

Ferguson had been a success elsewhere. We appointed a manager who had done absolutely nothing in the league below, unfortunately. The most concerning thing for many of those who don't want him here is that he went through just as bad a spell at Barnsley and has learnt the square root of zero from that experience/run of form. We can't stick with him in case he comes good as there is no evidence he will. Nor can we stick with him because Man United did so with a proven manager 30 years ago. We appear to now be in the clutching at straws period under LJ which means the end is nigh - let's just hope SL doesn't act too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great another OTIBism along with the top fan comment. If someone isn't happy with things at City they must be a gashead. Do you think a single ******* cretin from north of the river would want to upset the apple cart at City now? The derby is a realistic fixture now next season. Grow up.

If you want to make your point, why not stay away from Cardiff at home and boycott that, or is that not convenient because you fancy going to that game..?!
