Next home game, protest

What goes around comes around

 

Boycotting of the Charlton game is a starting point. A crowd of less the 9k will make a big statement of how the fans are feeling. A defeat next week against Blackpool will drop us into the bottom 4 and pile the pressure on our glorious leader.

There are no easy solutions but I dont fancy watching us get hulmilated by ex players from Charlton with a coaching team that just dont seem to know the game. A local buyer is needed as a matter of urgency.

Defeat against Blackpol, then a week later Clarke, Marshall, Cullen running rings around us to another defeat. That next home game is going to be extremely toxic, just hope Rahic is there to witness it all.

 

We should have nothing to do with any anti Germany rhetoric, it will defeat the purpose and allow the owners off the hook. It isn’t about their nationality, this is about incompetence which as far as I am aware has no race or nationality.

We need to stand together as fans and supporters and keep focused. I am sure they already know we are unhappy and quite frankly disgusted about they way they are running our club.

 

Utterly embarrassing. Grow up!

 

Maybe we have a list of ppl on here who could write to a Rupp?

 

We don’t want anything anti-german. It’d be even more damaging. It’d distort our whole concern into a race thing. It isn’t.

It doesn’t matter where he’s from.

It matters that he’s a deluded individual who’s ruining the club.

 

Please fellow City fans, seen one or two really daft posts about making stupid anti-German comments - our feelings on the way our club is being run are totally justified, sadness, anger and let down are just some of them. But if this manifests itself in a barrage of abuse to our German owners THIS is what will be reported and focused on. I really do want changes to happen at our club because I see no way forward under the current regime but we need to do it with dignity because we love our club and in the knowledge we will still love it long after they have gone. There was another good post which looked on the bright side that was is happening might actually end up in unifying the fans again and our wish for changes has to be based on wanting a more positive future and not hijacked by hate. I want Rahic to go because I dont think he is doing a good job and is taking our club backwards, NOT because he is German.

 

Can't be bothered reading all this, I'll out my opinion in....

I get protests against managers, chairman see them and invariably eventually have to do something. Protests against chairman; doomed. Unless someone in the protest is buying the club all it does is piss the rich guy off, meaning they stop investing (see Blackburn, Charlton, Portsmouth, Newcastle, Leyton Orient etc) they are rich enough to not worry about the cash or thick skinned enough to be that bloody minded. Like it or other these are our owners, who have invested much more than any regime since Richmond into both the team and the ground, I don't like it but equally am intelligent enough to see when to pick a fight/argument I cannot win - at present this is one of those.

So by all means Protest, I won't join in, not because I'm an Edin lover or am rose tinted but because I can see what will happen with a protest, yes they will probably move back to Germany - but they will still own the club and just cut off investment.

I'm not daft enough to think that anyone set on protest will agree and I expect to get shot down; I don't care. It's a cautionary note to say be careful what you are wshing for.

If it comes off different and the protest means a new leaf or someone deemed by the loud fans to be more appropriate custodians of the club then you guys deserve medals, but tell me how many times the little man wins out against the rich guys.....

 

Give it to me I'm perfectly happy to be that poster

 

He's doing the same to us so don't worry yourself

 

Kevin. Move on!

Why are you so obsessed with countries?

Just focus on the club and the predicament it is in and stop this obsession about not mentioning the country where the owners are from.

Get over. It is just a geographic location on a map. It is a noun or an adjective depending on the usage.

Can we talk about Bradford City instead please? That's a proper noun and we are a proper big pile of brown stuff. Let's discuss that.

 

The worst kind of leadership tries to micro-manage everything,bully if things don’t go their way, destroy relationships and ergo, destroy the organisation. Unfortunately, they just don’t see it.

 

Hi Andy....you probably know who I am after spending years at school with you and seeing you frequently in the kop...

Boycotting is one thing but not sure it will work, they already have our money, look at last season and how sparse the stands were and again at the games this season where people were leaving in droves at 60 or 70 minutes....think we need to do something different to be honest to make our feelings known....not sure what though...am willing to be behind most efforts....

 

Protest at matches are counter productive. What they do is put peoples back up and can lead to more stubbornness and even retaliation.
If people want change no matter how difficult it is the only way is to change minds of those who hold power.
Channels of communications need to be found and opened.and should be pursued in a reasonable manner.
Of course there is no guarantee of anything but it is the only way.

 

I believe you're wrong for one critical reason: the problem isn't the rich guy. The problem is the guy that's effectively working for the rich guy.

That makes it a whole lot simpler than going after, say, Mike Ashley.

 

Does he really though?

Tbh, apart from the standard frustration that comes on a Saturday, I'm really struggling to give a *@?$ here. As funny and as entertaining as it is, how do people let this sort of stuff affect their own personal lives?

Our fans probably cry themselves to sleep thinking of Edin Rahic.
