Sorry lads n' lasses but hell, I'm so glad that I'm not there to witness what these two owners are doing to our club.
As a supporter since 1955 it breaks my heart to see and hear what's happening at VP.
I'm afraid that if I was there I wouldn't be able to control my anger which would, without doubt, be vented at Rahic from not too far away.
I hope, for the long term sake of my club, that the fans stop dilly dallying and let Rahic know on Saturday that it's time him and his mate cleared off.
No excuses about it putting off the players or whatever, something needs to be done by the fans and NOW, to stop this.
It needs to be picked up by the media so that word gets to friggin' Germany too.

I'm all for protest, but we need to be united as a fan base.

No slanging with weird people offended about protests and whatnot.

Supposedly good? I think this is a myth tbh. Wright has turned out to be the exact player who Southend and Gillingham fans couldn't wait to get rid of, Akpan clearly wasn't nicknamed "Hopeless" without a reason as his performances prior to his injury justify that tag, Riley and Seedorf were two unknowns and are playing like players who aren't used to this level, It's easy to see why O Connor was disliked by Aderdeen fans and it wasn't just because he had said mean things about them, Scannel's career suggested that he doesn't score and assist very often which is why he has little end product despite showing glimpses of skill, I'm not sure on Mellor although our fans were very excited about this signing without seemingly having much substance behind it, Payne came with a genuine reputation of being a good footballer at this level which is why he's been our best outfield player to date, McGowan was viewed as a new signing and has had a bizzare playing career to say the least and most strikers no matter how good they may have been previously would struggle in this current team.

In short, I'm not convinced these players were as good for their previous clubs as our fans think they were. You could put up valid arguments for most of them not being up to the required standard even before a ball was kicked.

That's pretty much what I said about the players at the start of the season and took a bit of stick for it. They're mediocre at best and coupled with starting the season with a clueless chump as coach has put us where we are now.

Supposedly and good in inverted commas tell you all you need to know.
