    So we carry on regardless and they cut the budget anyway I cant remember a single post from park that has been negative towards these two.
    That suggests he's happy with things ongoing, which then suggests he's happy to have these two clowns in control.
    And he is selective with what part he answers, notice he didnt give any possitives I asked for, we know why because there arent any if there are they have been far outweighed by the bad decisions.

    We would need to spend so much to get out of our current mess that depriving Rahic won't make any difference to our chances. It might be painful for him financially though.

    I'm now convinced that Rupp has washed his hands of us and Rahic. We are going nowhere but down in every sense with this regime.

    A boycott is our most effective strategy.

    What appease the board ?, i can't honestly understand your position on this Park , the club is imploding the fans are deserting in droves the match day atmosphere has been destroyed and you still back them . I seriously doubt you are actually a City fan , can you not see the damage . Then to have a go at fans who are extremley worried about the future unbelievable .

    You can't negotiate with tyrants. Think Neville Chamberlain.

    Trump only got anywhere with Kim Jong Un because he'd already threatened to obliterate him.

    Rahic doesn't do dialogue.

    By the way Park, what the BCST did the other week was not dialogue . That was appeasement.

    Not going to get into a debate about how positive/negative Park is. I’m no fan of his, as you well know.

    But on this particular matter he does raise a good point. Staying away this season will only hurt the players and manager. Rahic won’t be bothered as he already has money for this season.

    Staying away next season and not renewing will simply mean less money in the coffers. What will that do? Well, the budget will be slashed again and instead of paying decent wages to the likes of Doyle, Scannell, Wright, Ball, Akpan, O’Donnell etc, we will simply recruit more of the likes of Riley, Patrick, Jacob Hanson, Brunker, Isherwood, Hawkes and Clare.

    Do you really want to go down that route? Surely the best bet is to alternate chants in support of the players, with chants towards the owners leaving? Mix this in with banners, the fly-by etc and we may make an impact. Put it another way, we are concerned that Rahic’s way of running the club has taken us backwards. So why would we want to make that worse by starving the club of funds and increasing the likelihood of relegation (and back-to-back ones at that)?

    I disagree that a boycott is our most effective strategy. Unless that strategy includes forcing the club into an Administration? Is that really what fans want? They want us to hit rock bottom? And even then, who is to say the Administrators won’t accept any new offer from Rahic/Rupp?

    Staying away will hurt the club more than it will hurt the owners, especially if it is true that haven’t invested anything themselves other than loans which are being repaid from the club anyway.

    By staying away, we are simply starving the players/manager of desperately needed support. Next season would mean lower budgets, meaning even worse cuts to playing and non-playing staff. If that’s what you want, so be it, but I’m not going to support that

    instead of boycott - lets just adopt NAPM.


    not a penny more.
    tickets are bought, in most cases, we can still support the team, but don't spend a penny in the ground.

    Have you ever heard the saying “don’t cut off your nose to spite your face”? You would rather we (fans) completely destroy the club, rather than let Rahic make a pig’s ear of things and put us in a position of where we are today? Really? You would actually prefer that?

    As for regurgitating the comments from ‘Guiseley Bantams’, can we stop spreading stories like this unles there is evidence to back it up. We don’t have a player good enough to sell on and even if we did, he couldn’t be sold until January anyway.

    Stop being so desperate that you will believe anything...!

    I have posted the same myself they have already got our season ticket money (and spent it) they he will not be getting another penny from me with regards none footballing things.
    If we don't make a stand and continue to purchase food, drink,hospitality, sporting merchandise they may still cut the budget there are no guarentees and at this very moment in time I'm affraid their word is not good enough.

    I believe that in 12 short months he's taken us from the verge of the championship the worst team in the league and in relative terms, the worst in the country.

    And I believe that the risk of him staying at the helm is more extreme than the risk of admin, which would force him to leave.

    If your take on this situation is that the fans, in anyway, have or could destroy this club, then there's nothing I can say to you.

    It’s not. It’s a mixture of wrong, and completely missing the point

    That's your opinion and I respect that but the whole idea of protest is to put these two clowns under pressure either to change the ways how they are running the club or sell, but please don't ridicule people who are not just standing by and watching our club go down the pan.
