    I will support MY CLUB its not Edins or Rupps as I like many was here before they came and will be when they go but if they expect me and others to keep silent at games when it goes tits up they can think again.

    OK - I walked away from my Lap top for an hour or so. And the dust has now settled - I think !!

    Firstly - I was greeted with a wry smile from my Liverpool supporting SPA Manageress, earlier. All I could muster was a poor shrug of the shoulders.

    Secondly - BCAFC is our (the Fans) Club, not Edins !
    And with that, the Club will continue to have my unwavering support, including the Coaching staff.

    Thirdly - The first time City get a thumping on Home soil, I would hope that any chants of "You don't know what you're doing !!" are aimed at Edin, and not the Coaching team.

    Finally - The decision has been made, Recruitment is ongoing, and we haven't lost a game - yet ! ;) So let's all try and pull together and support our Club from the off, rather than throw the towel in prematurely. :thumbsup:

    Get behind the new guy and be there on the first day of the season to support the team, whatever you think of it all. That's the right thing to do at this moment in time. What are you going to protest about when the league table reads W0, L0, points 0.

    You've no proof that he's destroying the club. As it stands more has been invested by this lot, out of their own pockets, in the last two seasons than the previous two

    Of course, you've decided that the new coach is rubbish because of his history etc. There are plenty of coaches who became the best in their divisions, who started off with as just as much of a moderate background

    Frankly, I found fault with every coach mentioned for the job and yes I do find fault with this one - but he needs until the end of January before we make a firm judgement

    It might be an inspired choice

    It might be the worst appointment ever

    Let's please see, by what goes on the pitch and judge from there

    Here's hoping

    It's not about not having a voice. There are ways to go about things and at this moment in time I'm not sure what any of you hope to achieve by turning VP into a pit of negativity for the first game of the season.

    The coach is the coach we've got, he wouldn't have been my choice but it wasn't my decision, it was Edin's, and it will be on him if it goes wrong.

    But turning up to the first game protesting about some hypothetical future that may or may not come about is not for me.

    Come on Jon, you must have known which posters wouldn’t see any negative in this. They never see negative in anything on here. I’m all for giving the lad a chance but anyone who thinks this appointment has been made for any reason other than no one else would do it is naive at best.

    You’re missing the point. They may have struggled with their first Head Coach roles, BUT both had success working under a Head Coach. Bobby Robson once said that Mourinho was one of the best young coaches he’d ever worked with. The skills etc were already there.

    Collins has 1yr of experience and no results to prove he’d be a success. Don’t get me wrong- I’m not against promoting from within. Liverpool did it for years from their ‘boot room’, but all promotions were based on delivering further down the pyramid and not just being able to talk the talk.

    Look at how Jewell came from under Kammie’s shadow to lead us to the Premier League. But the point being, he had been given experience in coaching the first team and being a number2 first.

    We have been linked with u23 managers from other (top) clubs and I wouldn’t have been against them if they had a track record of developing players.

    But Collins DOES NOT...!

    Christ almighty. If this doesn't make you realise what a clueless, egotistical liar edin rahic is then nothing will. Anyone worth their salt is getting out before the ship firmly sinks, yet you're still here with the "give them a chance" line.

    Edin could kick you in the bollocks and you still wouldn't say a bad word about him. That's why he thinks he can get away with it all as some fans just blindly back him regardless.

    WINNER

    The fact that he said he wanted a Head Coach that can develop kids ready for 1st team football, you’d expect him to have had some experience if doing this? This guy hasn’t.

    The fact that he said we’d had lots of good applicants and had reduced this down to 2, then further delays were made, indicating it wasn’t originally someone in house.

    Sorry, but Rahic is a liar, has learned feck all, clearly is egotistical (and don’t dare ask for proof) and is clearly trying to do this on the cheap.

    FFS, this fella hasn’t even got experience of working UNDER a Head Coach or Manager and has been fast-tracked to the job.
    At least Hockaday had a CV. What the hell did Collins have on his CV???

    Frigging livid

    sometimes I wonder how Greg Abbott can look himself in the mirror in a morning.
    why is he going along with this clusterfuck?

    Stuart McCall will have afforded himself a wry grin this morning, I am sure.

    Find the support for this appointment embarrassing.

    Literally no obvious positives to take.

    It's the lies that have got me angry . The 7 weeks " search : the calibre of the candidates. Nobody bought into is dream , i love my club but these clowns are pulling it apart bit by bit . I have nothing against the new coach, and i will support the team , but i reserve the right to detest the owners.

    I am continually amazed by Edin's continued ability to exceed even my expectations of what he'll pull next.

    is @Jimmylivesnextdoor@Jimmylivesnextdoor still organising a protest, because I am all in.

    we have to do something, we cant continue to sit and watch this egomaniac ruin the club.

    Are we allowed to get our pitchforks out yet or is it still too early for the uber positive amongst us?

    As I said in another thread, we all laughed at Leeds under Cellino, when he appointed Hockaday. But this tw@t (Rahic) is making Massimo look like Stephen frigging Hawking...!

    So................. none of the 10 people Edin interviewed matched his high expectations, but Michael Collins' weekend interview made him top choice for the gig ?

    There are different ways to support.

    Enabling an owner who’s destroying the club isn’t support.

    My negativity is as far as you can get from being the issue that will ruin us.

    How can anyone NOT be outraged by what’s happening??

    Success is not a given, even with the best coaches. These guys are footballing men and each knows what the fans want, so give 'em a chance. They are all in it together and will learn fast.Edin will need to listen and work WITH them to make it work and I believe he does want to make a go of it, so the next incoming recruits will demonstrate the new philosophy I guess. Anyway, a new start, a new campaign and all to fight for..not worth throwing too many toys out of the old pram yet.
