    We can't bridge all the gaps and repair this club while Rahic remains.

    Non-negotiable, he has to go.

    He's one of us so I agree with you. The best think that can happen is that Rahic goes without any further delay. He is the poison John refers to in his piece.

    With Rahic gone supporters will flood back and we can start pulling together as a united fan base giving ourselves a chance to get clear of the drop.

    Good article from John. It's obvious he knows a lot of what's gone on at the club since January.

    True City legend who obviously cares deeply for us still

    He is the sort of guy you want associated with our special club, he understands the fabric of what makes it such a special club to support, or play for.

    Sadly, our owners have ruined that in the last 12 months. Let's hope, that the return of Julian Rhodes, is the start of the slow repair and recovery of our values

    Everything is certainly looking this way.

    - Free coaches to Peterboro.
    - £1 entry to Oxford game.
    - Getting rid of Abbott.
    - John Hendrie having some involvement with the local press.

    Seems like the club is slowly beginning to re-connect with the fans.

    I’m getting a bit fed up of rallying cries of just get behind the lads FFS. When will the club, Edin, take responsibility for the shit show that 2018 has been? When will Wright say he doesn’t give a shit? Hendrie is there saying the fans, sponsors, players haven’t been looked after but they still need to JGBTLFFS. The fans can only give so much with nothing in return. When Edin feck5 off I’ll be interested again.

    You really don't understand a thing do you? Nobody thought he was a great player, it's the treatment, it's the way business was done and those that were up in arms have been proved right about how it would play out. Whereas yourself have done nothing but back the wrong horse and shown your limited intelligence

    I would go further than that Ronnie and suggest that anyone in the current squad needs stronger players to play alongside. They may then be able to raise their game. What we have are players who are followers rather than leaders. They come across as not being mentally tough, and have developed a defeatist mentality.

    Fordy takes a John Hendrie thread and makes it a 3 centre-back thread. He makes it a 3 centre-back thread because he wants to talk about O'Connor but realises he started to look a bit obsessive.

    John Hendrie column is fine but comes a bit late in the day for me. Change has started to happen and suddenly Hendrie puts his head above the parapet. John Hendrie is one of those in a unique position at this club. He speaks - people listen. He should have been voicing his concerns and motivating change earlier.

    May sound harsh but he said a lot without actually saying that much.

    Oh, I guess the dire treatment of staff and players didn't derail us at all last season simply because Hendrie is on loan from a League One side at a League Two side.

    What exactly is your point?

    Rahic HASN'T effectively poisoned this club, and taken it from top end League One to the single poorest performing English Football League side?

    I'd extend that philosophy to the club, to be honest.

    They're borrowing the club, they own nothing, they are mere custodians - they aren't treating it well, so nobody is going to be lending them anything going forward, most pertinently their money.

    Wonder what enticed John Hendrie to start his column again?

    Maybe Julian looking for any and every way to get fans back onside?
    Could be Rahic is indeed going but rumours suggest he's still around.

    If he does go then light will appear in the dark tunnel we're in.

    I've been waiting for the interview since Parker mentioned it on his twitter page. Basically just a rallying call from Hendrie.

    Definitely wasn't difficult to read between the lines there.

    I find the comments regarding borrowing a mates jacket interesting. Clearly referring to the loan market and the reputation the club is getting for not looking after players.
