Protest at the Villa game

    "What are you complaining about"? Are you for real?
    This club has been run in to the ground and you can't see it?
    I pity you.
    There were 600 supporters at that meeting today which,at such short notice,was a great turnout.
    How many do you think you will see next week?
    Join them if you can and it will bring change that much closer.
    If it is not nearer 6000 then this club is indeed finished.






    no disrespect deso, but i dont think the club is finished if we dont get lots of protestors. Ive no problem if people want to protest etc, but why not do it after the game when it wont affect the players etc???


    Protesting after the game is a valid point and one that should be suggested to the Blue Union.

    Enough is Enough.

    anyone half intelligent person can see within 2-3 years there we will be relegation fodder, If things continue at the rate they are now.

    If the board wont do anything, its up to the fans to step up to the plate.


    Rs and united fans did it, and the players said it didnt affect them when they were playing.



    Is rice tickets we know your lot wouldn't stand for the crap our 'boards' churning

    Short notice

    The meeting was arranged 3 weeks ago.

    They are turning into an embarrasement and dividing the fans.

    We should be working together with the club not against ourselves.

    As has been pointed out what exactly are they protesting about.

    They wanted honesty Bill gave it to them they wanted new players we have them they wanted less debt we have.

    They claim not to be an Anti Bill group yet continuously hound him.

    The protest is a bad idea and will either disrupt the team before the match or will die a death after the match as we will win.

    Have noproblem with people questioning the club but when you get what you want don't get greedy

    United fans were wearing coloured scarves...

    The R's had their worst start to season for god knows how long, and were doing awfully up until Dogleash came and took over

    Sambo-I know your position-I respect it.......unfortunately until people say" We are not happy with the status quo" nothing...and I mean nothing will change.......the last 12 years shows this.


    Brotherblue....I don't have a viable alternative no..why should I?
    I can see however that if nothing changes the fortunes of the club will continue to deteriorate.
    Are you happy with a situation where people who have invested nothing in the club,apart from buying of shares,will sell off every player the club produces in order to clear a debt which is down to incompetent management of their making?





    I think you are missing the point of the word "invest". People only do
    this so that they can make a return on their investment. Abramovich will
    not make a single penny from the millions he has invested in Chelsea.
    The people who own city are in the same boat. But these people have
    money to burn.

    Do you think those clubs are being well run? City
    lost £131,000,000 and Chelsea weren't far behind. Have you been living
    on the moon for the last few years? Have you not heard about the
    financial crisis.

    What you really want is for some billionaire
    with more money than sense to come along and take over Everton and
    simply throw money at it just for the fun of it. Just spend their
    bilions to keep you happy so you can have a good laugh at some other
    poor sod supporting some other pennyless club after our team of
    overpriced and overpayed prima donnas have just tonked them.

    Well
    it's not going to happen and shame on you for wishing it would.
    Football was supposed to be the working mans game. Not the toys of the
    idle rich who just like to lord it up in the directors box and have no
    real stake in the club at all.

    mate, i dont disrespect you, please dont disrepsect me. im as entitled to my opinion as you are. further back up the thread, it was meant in jest btw, ive no problem with anyone who wants to protest just do it after the game.what purpose does it serve doing it during the match and distracting the players??

    as for the safety of my computer screen, i need the safety of nothing, and no one. if i buy a shirt, if i pay my money and come to the games, im as entitled to voice myself as much as you are. what would the club do if everyone who doesnt live in the city didnt support the club, both by attending and buying merchandise?? the club would lose millions in revenue imo. so jsut becasue somebody isnt from the city, doesnt mean they dont love the club as much as you or anybody else for that matter.

    Deso, Deso Deso, you say you have no alternative, and change therefore wont happen unless we protest, like it happened for RS and UTD. Im sorry to have to say it, but we have to be real. RS and UTD will always have a chance of finding buyers, we wont, why? Simple, we are in L'POOL( poor economically), and to investers( not me) we are the little 2nd team, with debts, and in our opinions the peoples club, not the GLOBAL club, and play in a now dodgy H+S issue ground. Im sorry again to say it, but im not apologising for repeating it, we are just not a good proposition for any investers, so all the protesting in the world wont help, it will only only detract from the "good old history club" charm, that is our only selling point..................

    what if though deso, all the protesting etc doesnt find a buyer, what is the long term damage to the team then with all this unsettling?? theres lots of pros and cons mate thats my point.

    And you say I have missed the point?

    Ffs you might read my point.

    I am not looking for a billionaire...I never mentioned one..but

    Surely there are a few alternatives between what we have..ie incompetence and mismanagement on a grand scale and a billionaire?

    Well
