I think sometimes it’s best reforming from within. If they formed a new group they’d be on the outside shouting, no line of communication with the club and the club would just ignore them as they’re not an official fan group. It will take time but I think reforming from within, though it will take time will be a lot quicker than forming a new group. As if foxinsocks is right and this time next year the reform group have a majority on the board then pressure can start to be applied to the club and the group will hold more weight. I wonder if a lot of the non voters are people who have been paying their subscription for years yet don’t bother beyond that, don’t open emails or follow what’s happening. If so that’s further proof of reform being needed as these people no longer feel engaged by the current set up.

Yes, Izzet. That’s a great shout, there’s a lot of Muzzy about him. He’s just become my favourite player

Just a reply to some of the slogans being mentioned in the Bobby Reid thread but thought I’d post them it in here. Maybe something like… “no vision, no structure, no clue. Rudkin out” As opposed to singling out players or possibly something that will cause offence to the wrong people.

That just sounds silly though, however if they were from north Lincolnshire you could have a slogan that said “bunch of Scvnthorpes”

Book a couple of rooms a few doors apart at the hotel and hang a banner from the windows.

Credit to Bournemouth though, they’re looking a serious unit at the moment.

I think project restart where always aiming at rudkin, just looked at their first post and they are calling for the hierarchy to make the change.

Rudkins new tactic, getting players in with winning names. we are staying up said we are staying up

I know one person that used to know him (coach) and he didn’t like him, said he belittled people. Never understood the feeling threatened by having people has good as or if not better than you, if you’ve put that team together you’re as much a part of the success as the people in the team. In part your skill is in identifying the people to make the company/department a success. It certainly makes your own job easier than fighting fires all the time.

He is, maybe he should have stood down from his other jobs and focused on being a dof, got good people in around him and we wouldn’t be in this mess. But he hasn’t and as such should face the consequences of his failure.

Hi Ruud

But is a wet loan really wet or does it just wet what it comes into contact with.

Was also told that the sacking never happened, reporters overheard Vichai ranting about the result and mentioned sacking but it never happened. When the news broke it caught them cold as they didn’t know what was happening. Totaly agree, the crime was dismantling the set up that Pearson built when Rodgers was manager. That set up covered a lot of the ills that we’re seeing now. If Top had any sense he’d be working on bringing people in to make us a functioning football club again which would probably have a bigger impact than any budget signing we got in the next week or so. Enzo had discussions in the summer with the club about bringing more people in above him to assist those already there, the club agreed but he then left. Why didn’t the club restructure and put these people in place even though Enzo then left, surely they saw that it was needed, surely they can see that what they’re doing now isn’t working year after year and something needs to change. If they had put this into action they’d have probably avoided much of the reaction we're seeing now and if they had any sense they’d be working to get good football people in now to start the restructuring process as it’s only going one way otherwise. Their internal review should have highlighted this, did the trust ever ask for the results of that review?

I was told that the idea was that Top would run them to gain experience for eventually taking over from Vichai here. Unfortunately Top had to take over here a lot sooner than planned after his father’s death.

Unfortunately I think you're right. Swindon got relegated years ago while spurs got away with similar a few years before.

I keep seeing people saying the efl are going to hammer us next season if we go down but on what grounds? We’re still in arbitration with the premier league so they can’t touch us for that and we cleared psr for last season so can’t impose an embargo on us. Am I missing something?

Didn’t luton get hit with a 30 point deduction when their new owners went to the league after they discovered irregularities from the previous owners. I know it’s different leagues/bodies but it highlights how ridiculous the situation is that there’s different rules and penalties depending on what league you’re in.

That’s awful. It’s just as bad that no one else seen what was happening and stopped it. Surely he has grounds for complaint. Whats Brad doing now?

Exactly, if you wanted to get something in it wouldn't be hard. They're treating everyone like a hooligan when there wasn't a problem in the first place.

Just a couple of points, did the old announcer really get binned off for that interview? I thought it was just something people had decided on here. Secondly I’d not heard about the club contacting people criticising the club, disgraceful behaviour, would love to know the details if anyone would post them. Good article though bringing together the smaller details circling around the main issues. Hate the search before you go in, it’s taking football back to the 80’s.

Just a thought, but don’t they close the roads round the ground about an hour before kick off. Would you need to get it in and park it?

I can just see it now. Rudkin will finally play a blinder and shift all the players out and only then find out we’re under an embargo and can’t sign anyone.

Am fully expecting some “rumours” to be circulated after the weekends chants.

Until the Martians learnt the rules.

I think the bottom 3 will be cut adrift by mid Feb, unfortunately I think we'll be in there.
