Social media is very black and white, moderate views get lost amongst all the sensationalism so while I see where you're coming from OP, I think you should maybe be looking for those moderate views and see that even the more patient among us are starting to get a bit fed up.

It's one thing new owners wanting to do things a bit differently. I can accept change and take with it the inevitable unrest and upheaval. But it's another to see shocking performances like the one served up on Saturday. You can accept that such a new team needs time, no one expected world-beaters overnight, I certainly didn't. But what I do expect is a well-organised team with a definite style of football and some kind of plan, they are professionals after all. It seems at the minute that the man in charge is not capable of providing that so why shouldn't people be asking for change?

Personally, I don't happen to doubt for a minute that Edin has the best intentions for the club. I am, however, starting to doubt that he knows how to bring those about. I get the feeling that in his rush to set-up his vision, he's not paying the sort of attention he should to people who really do know the game (not to intentionally paraphrase his infamous slip of the tongue). A change of mentality at the top might be all that's needed to put this right, but will it come?

 

None. But his partner, Rhodes had experience. And Lawn didn’t try to do it himself. He appointed managers and the likes of Baldwin, Mason.

Added to which, as a local man stepping in at time where we were desperate, he was clearly trying to help and not working out of self interest.

I didn’t agree with all that Lawn did and I was vocal at the time in stating he’d done as much as he could and we needed new owners with fresh investment. But it’s a sign of how much I fear for us under Rahic that I’d have Lawn back in a heartbeat.

 

All rahic has to do are three simple actions

1. Replace Collins and co with a real football manager
2. Let said manager “manage” all football related issues
3. Earn the money he takes out of the club by becoming a genuine chief executive

Do that and in time he’ll be forgiven and ultimately accepted.

We don’t demand promotion, though it would be nice, we just want stability and hope.

 

I see the regime's social media plants have had their instructions now.

 

There are at least two posters in this thread who seem to have signed up and logged on to this forum to demand that City fans stop caring about the clubs regression.

Seriously?????

 

Fans can accept losing if the passion and effort is there so far it's nowhere near and we are lucky to even have 6pts on the board.

 

I was giving Collins chance but one up front at home to a bottom four team is UNACCEPTABLE. He’s out of his depth by about the size of marianna’s trench

 

Still can't decide whether you are on the wind up or not
You are of a similar age (ish) to me and have some experience of what makes our club tick
Being long time supporters having gone through more than most 92 league clubs are you honestly telling us this is just a setback Do you remember the admins rattling buckets holding sponsored events carrying blankets round the pitch at half time for fans to throw money in to keep the club going voluntary clearing snow off the pitch so a game can go ahead then actually paying to watch it bear in mind we were a struggling Div 4 club at the time that's what being a City fan is all about Do you really think that would happen now all connections between club and fans are seriously under threat if not already destroyed and you are saying it's an Hysterical Over Reaction I agree the guy in the stand didn't go about things in the right way but if true he showed some passion for the club (more than the players/ Head Coach did)
Our present owners were in short tousers whilst lots on here were keeping the club afloat Fans are readily open to accept change (if it's the right way to go and the plan is working) but just think back 2 years and how bright the future was lots on here dare not look 2 years into the future. Our club is being run a totally different way to what it has been historically whether that's right or wrong remains to be seen
But true fans will not readily sit back and have OUR clubs future compromised

 

Our of order ..... AGAIN...!
Quit it with this shite about fans being unhappy because of the nationality of the bloke making the mistakes....!

 

??? Isn't that what pre-season is supposed to do? Allow them time to gel and bed in? We didn't play a consistent system, many first team players, etc....how long do you give? Teams have already sacked coaches and managers because they can see no acceptable future...

There is no sign of a system, a style of play, no desire, no fight, no tactical awareness being displayed...out of 5 league games the Head Coach has said that 2 of those were unacceptable performances and the fans were right to boo....not very encouraging...

Yes we have many new players, new coaching team but I remember going to the Burnley friendly a couple of seasons ago only a few weeks after Stuart took over with a new coaching team and many new players and they already looked well drilled and coached playing a completely different style of football to Parky!! Didn't need time to gel and bed in....

 

I thought that would happen once Grayson walked away. Either he didn't want or try to appoint a German coach, or even they said "thanks, but no thanks". I still struggle to believe that out of everyone that was approached, a 32 year old complete novice was the right appointment.

To be fair, I can't criticise the managerial appointments prior to Collins. McCall was obviously appointed to appease the fans after a very successful manager had left. Grayson had an impeccable record with clubs in League One. To go from those two to Collins. Especially after a second half of the season that had seen the fanbase becoming increasingly fractious and concerned about the club's direction of travel. Still strikes me as being from so far out of left field that it would be regarded as unbelievable if it appeared in a work of fiction.

 

Hysterical over reaction? We've gone from having a team 90 mins away from the Championship to one that I think will go down, in a little over 12 months, way to go!

 

With you on this @AJP

(But i think it’s best just to take a back seat and let them get on with whatever they’re going to do; or not do. The Happy Haters love to hate.... and it’s appears especially if the object of hate isn’t English).

 

Pretty much like the people who are controversional just for the sake of appearing different.

 

A lone silent tracksuited figure stands statuesque in the Home technical area with hands handcuffed firmly behind his back for 90 plus minutes.
Inspirational, motivational enthusiasm nowhere to be seen.
Forward or Backward club appointment you decide.
I already have unfortunately and it's the latter.

 

Did your old father talk to you about allowing others to express their discontent as well whether you agree or not? No? Your post comes across as arrogant, pompous and a clear disregard for others views. If you think this is not a crisis, that is your view, you do not get to make your snide comments about other posters.

 

Not a hater. Always backed the manager and board in trying circumstances.
Parky and McCall required backing and were by most fans. We knew where we stood.
The current regime in comparison is clueless.
They quoted having. a 3 year plan to get city into the championship. This is year 3.
We have a rookie manager who is motionless and appears just to be a puppet. We have Edin who has dismantled the apparatus around the club and not replaced it. Bar the pitch which fair play looks good.
We were told that the owners had learned lessons last season after it imploded.
What do we have. A disinterested team that lacks fight not fit to wear the shirt.
This same team is supposed to be getting us up.
So in conclusion yes there’s a load of us very unhappy. I’m not a happy clapper and I’m not a fordy but when I see shit I call it accordingly.
And that’s what it is garbage.

 

Ah, the race card.

If all else fails and the evidence against your case is increasingly overwhelming, whip out the race card and hide behind that. What a fecking loser.

 

Hysterical overreaction?

I think our fans have been remarkably patient when you consider the catalogue of events in that have occurred in the 8 months since the Yeovil game. I'm not going to list them but you all know what I'm on about. Even the skeptics have been willing to give things a chance. Stuff seems to unravelling a bit now and fingers are started to be pointed. I think it's a bit rich for someone to point their finger this way and shout hysterical overreaction.

If you think things are basically okay and the fans are overreacting don't worry, a couple of wins and things will soon settle down again. Personally I think we're in for turbulent times so buckle up.

 

None, but from what we know, he didn't believe he 'knew football', think that he could implement a new model of working or meddle in footballing matters. He set a budget and let the managers and coaches get on with it. That regime did toy with a development squad for a short while, but I believe Parkinson persuaded them that the cash would be better spent on the first team squad.

They obviously didn't get everything right all the time, but you're on a hiding to nothing comparing what ML/JR achieved with Parkinson at the rudder. Compared to what we've seen since all three severed their connection with Bradford City.
