    Rupp said we had money to spend on team strengthening, if this does not happen (especially after the coffers have been topped up with the Vaughan and Doyle fees) then something needs to be done by us fans.. don’t ask me what as I’m not for a protest etc but a stance needs to be taken.

    Good luck to Dylan Mottley-Henry, I hope it works out for him and he realises that the negativity isn't directed towards him as such. He hasn't done anything wrong, he's just been offered a job and he's taken it.

    It looks increasingly likely that the board have written off this season and are now cost cutting, which is a shameful thing to do when we are still in the top 7.

    Can we wait until we're actually out of the promotion race first? All energies need to go into backing the team whatever is put on the pitch not slagging off signings before we've even seen them

    So many itching for a fight.

    Why not tell that to the board, they appear to have completely given up on the promotion race despite us being in this fabulous position that people keep stating..

    Itching for a fight, without an absolute doubt!! They are taking the mick out of every single supporter!

    I think some of the so called fans on here come from the Manchester United school of fandom

    Sick of hearing about pace and power (size obviously missing this time).

    How’s about having 11 lads on the pitch that are comfortable in possession, composed and creative?

    Honestly, I'm done. What's the point? We have no ambition, no plan, no idea. And the club think they'll sell 20k season tickets?

    Its either outright piss taking, or complete incompetence. Either way, I'll find better things to do with my time.

    You've got to admit the club don't help themselves sometimes. Not his fault but its not the signing fans are looking for after Vaughan and Doyle (highly likely) have gone.

    I take it from your derogatory comment aimed at other fans that you condone the way the club has managed the current transfer window. Is that correct? And that is after the fans were told that money would be available to strengthen the squad and as you have said often enough, we are in a good position in the league to gain promotion.

    Problem is Park, your view is pretty much worthless due to being so one sided. You clearly don't know how PR works in the sporting world, if you did you'd realise the club needs some positive news and it needs it fast.

    You're flogging a dead horse mate, we could literally be shutting the Valley parade gates for the last time and Park would be upbeat.

    I imagine he will be one to come in for either Vaughan or Doyle. We will get one more underwhelming signing tomorrow and that will be us done.
    Bowyer will play him up front with Donaldson to run around a lot and feed off of scraps

    it’s going to be a long second half to the season.
    All that said good luck to the lad but this is becoming a shambles, not his fault mind

    The vast majority of our fans now see how we're being run for what it is. Hence the number of empty seats on Tuesday.

    But the club could wrap 11 lumps of shit in claret and amber doggie bags and badge it as a brave new venture, and a small number of fans would still clap like seals and plead for patience.

    I am sure the nut jobs who bombed Ed Woodward’s house the other night thought they were in the right. It’s possible to criticise without the personal abuse

    Tell what to the board? If all the players are fit, actually there's a around 14 players who are of L2 promotion quality. And this latest signing could be a decent impact sub - we often lack anyone with pace later in matches. And before you ask. Yes, I have watched us and been just as frustrated. But we are in the promotion race, despite been rubbish for most of the last four months - doesn't exactly make me quake about the ability of the rest of our rivals. Where have they all been? Surely if we're so inferior, that you've given up on promotion we'd now be 10 points behind the last play-off place. Maybe a 'roll your sleeves up' side, has a chance. Let's give it until the end of February before we start rioting.

    What would you be doing if you were a fan of Walsall or Scunthorpe - two teams with better average positions than us, since 2007? Again, our fans often lack perspective - we've no divine right to be the No.1, 2 or even 3 team in this division

    And what's the outcome? Getting Rupp to walk and we go into admin? Or are you buying the club

    Energies should be saved for seeing if we can get the show back on the road. Promotion is not an impossibility - unless of course the players have the same negative "let's give up" attitude as you and 90% of those contributing on this thread, that is!!
