Dastardly and Muttley Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 If LJ is still here, it seems that the majority of fans have turned and want him gone. The banners appearing around AG demonstrate this quite well. A good way of showing SL how the fans feel and how many fans feel it would be an official, unified protest. Perhaps, during the 8th minute, to signify the 8 losses, all fans turn their backs to the pitch with a chorus of City Till We Die ringing out around the stadium. Supportive, demonstrative and unified. Would certainly get SL's and the media's attention if done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestonRobin Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 How about something like the Bayern Munich protest at Arsenal last year...stay in the concourse and come out and take your seat after a while (in this case most probably after 8 mins) The club and the team would still receive support but a point is made and rather emphatically...the board would no doubt take notice at that. With all the TVs now you wouldn't miss anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 The fans should not have to force the issue but will if this farce continues. SL and MA need to do the responsible thing now and for the sake of the fans, players, boardroom and LJ take the appropriate action and put LJ on gardening leave immediately.

Can they also ask Dean Holden to go as well? Not like he has obviously done anything for us in the past couple of months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 What a great way to support the team and manager.... Not. How about we display banners of encouragement and applaud the team as they enter the field. Show them we believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just a heads up these ideas are to show no support of the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 If he's still here the fans need to do something to demonstrate how awful the team is being set up and the results it's achieving (or not). Thing is.....I just dread who we would appoint to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full nelson Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 i can't see there being a protest as you'll always get those who don't want to participate and then things get heated!! But the idea of waiting in the concourse for 8 minutes is a good idea and the time waiting in the concourse goes up with each loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is denying that we have a talented squad and our position in the league isn't a reflection on the team alone. The thing is though, this run of form can last if we continue to play as we have...to win games we need to have more than one shot on target per game. As long as LJ is in charge I just don't see things changing massively, so in my opinion if we continue with LJ at the helm then I'm afraid we are destined to be in League 1 next year.
