    Yes mass protest inside the ground is far more effective than staying away. And we need the points that such a protest might help the “team” to produce.

    Yes. And I’m big enough to admit I was wrong and the rahicouters were right.

    Once we get park onside we have a full house of defectors

    We all agreed coming back from Fleetwood today that unless we appoint some proper Management this week then there is absolutely no way we will be going to Blackpool!

    Despite the obvious mess upstairs, a proper manager would stabilise things on the field and keep us up, whilst we focus on getting Rahic out.

    Collins will take us down. No question

    As in a proper experienced Team Manager to give us some real leadership and direction rather than a youth team Head Coach who is woefully out of his depth. Does that help?

    No, for the simple reason that whereas I don't think that Michael's inexperience helps, I don't think he is the problem. He can go away but nothing will change. Jesus might have helped Lazarus but the situation here would be beyond him.

    Collins is the symptom not the problem

    Good managers can take average players and make them better by virtue of the theory that a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

    A poor coach can ruin great players and destroy a team.

    An example of the former is what Brian clough did at both derby and forest, an example of the latter is what mourinho eventually does at every club he inherits.

    We must act now before it’s too late and we’re stuck in League 2 for many years.

    If you want a unique protest at an away game that doesn't necessarily cost the opposition financially but makes a very, very, very clear point that might attract media attention...

    Organise something in the away end that has absolutely nothing to do with the game.

    A pie contest, where nobody is watching the game, but sampling pies; a choir recital where the fans are warming up with Christmas songs irrelevant to the game; a fun day with fancy dress and the conga and music BUT it's not in the spirit of the game itself.

    Show the hierarchy we aren't interested in their shitty experiment and will entertain ourselves.

    Everyone who is going to Blackpool should buy one of those Day-Glo hats and then at some point all start throwing them on the pitch like Frisbees ... Because Edin is a 2hat.

    I've only been to one home game this season despite buying a season ticket so I'm definitely not forking out for any away days. I saw this coming a mile off and nothing I've heard or read has changed my mind.
