    Imo we need to fully support the team on the pitch, give them our 100% support, 100% wall of noise, make those guys out there want to be there. It is counterproductive to have a stadium less than half full. Yes we have major issues with our owners but the players out there need to feel wanted, we need to get the belief back. Turning our backs on the players is counter-productive, we need full houses at Valley Parade giving that 'wall of sound' that sends shivers down your spine, not half-hearted support .To hell with our management. I have supported City since 1954-5 & always will, what I am seeing now makes me sick. Please get behind the lads that put on the shirt.

    Short term pain, long term gain.
    We have to make a stand.

    We're already well on the way to rock bottom.

    The club have been starved of any leadership over the last 2 years which is just as important as cash.

    By staying away it gives a premonition to Rahic and Rupp of how the future will look if they remain on the course they are currently embarked on.

    Maybe they will see that their futures and City's are best served apart and look at getting out before we hit the buffers.

    If Rahic stays we will hit the buffers, of that I have no doubt. And I'm not going to support that.

    So apart from O'Donnell, which of the well paid superstars you list are worth their cost?

    Rahic could spend £5m on wages and produce a shit team. He doesn't have a clue.

    I'd rather have decent management spending a much smaller budget.

    Fans deliberately forcing the club into Administration could destroy the club. What part of that don’t you get?

    If we did go into Admin, the club would be appointed Administrators to get the best deal to exit Admin. If that can’t happen, the club could he wound up. And if Rahic and Rupp offer the best deal to the creditors, then the Administrators would have to accept their offer, meaning we had gained nothing but heartache.

    That works both ways though. I’m being told I’m wrong simply because I disagree with the stance of boycotting games and starving the club of funds for next season.

    How come @Park bantam@Park bantam can’t post freely but @Faithful Bantam@Faithful Bantam can rubbish anyone that disagrees with him?

    Then, in my opinion, you are no better than Rahic himself. His actions have brought us to where we are today. But you want to further that pain just to force him out? Makes no sense.

    Instead of supporting everyone connected with the club (other than the owners), you want to ‘help’ bring it down to its knees. Bonkers philosophy

    Irrelevant as to whether they are worth their cost. The budget is there and has been spent on those players named. We can get into many debates about how good those players are, but this isn’t about that. If we have spent £2m this season on this squad, how do you think we’d fare with a budget around half that? Why would we want to handicap Hopkin (and any successor) further?

    You are blaming Rahic only, but Abbott is just as guilty in putting together this squad. He should be the first to go as he adds no value. Maybe he should just concentrate on finding the next Wells, so he can release him on a free...!

    I’ve not rubbished anyone on a personal level, certainly not intentionally. But this is a forum - it’s about opinions so if I disagree with one, I’ll say it and try to explain why.

    Wayne I don't think anyone wants to force the club into administration. If I read correctly, the point being made is that if it is going to happen anyway (which is likely if Rack & Ruin are still in charge) it might as well be this season which is pretty much a write off anyway.

    I absolutely get that, believe me.

    Going into admin COULD destroy this club.

    Rahic being left to run the show WILL destroy it. That’s my point.

    I believe that admin would trigger interest that does exist, and allow the club to exit in a healthier position than we are right now. But that’s not a given and it’d be a risk. There’s no doubt.

    Don’t confuse my view as being one that entering into admin should be taken lightly, or that it wouldn’t worry me greatly. It would.

    That I believe a future under rahic to be worse for the club, is a reflection of what he’s done - and will continue to do - to us.

    Great post.

    In short, it's the lesser of two evils.

    I have no idea of your last comment, but I have given my opinion to park regarding his particular post " Turkey's voting for Christmas "...

    It's very noticeable that there's barely any food and drink being purchased.
    Didn't see a single empty beer bottle after the last home game :unsure:

    "Just to force him out". You make it sound like I just don't like Rahic's choice of tie he wears at home games.

    You say "his actions have brought us to where we are today", yes they have! And his actions will take us further in the wrong direction all the time he is here.

    We are on our knees now because of Rahic and anything that helps him cling on is only damaging us more. We need to he prepared to do anything and everything to try to remove him. Anything else is "bonkers".
