Sky Blues

We let them have the ball. We've dominated possession most games but kept getting hit on the break. Middlesbrough have a strong midfield but not much up front. We just bypassed their midfield when going forward.

I've enjoyed the last few seasons of being involved near the top of the table. I'm not looking forward to losing most games if we get promoted. Try being poor in League One and League Two like we were. We only got straight out of League Two because a late run got us into 6th then we won the playoffs. Looking at poor sides from small towns like Accrington Stanley as easy games but they do the double over you 😆 How about looking for promotion from League Two and having Yeovil as your visitors and you get hammered 2-6 🙄. Yes it was only 8 years ago when we were struggling in League Two. Just 2 seasons after your amazing Prem win.

So why is the Championship a poor division? The clubs that have been wasting money are now paying the consequences. The sides that have been gradually building squads within their means have slowly but constantly got better. No runaway sides that have come down with the Prem money. Even Ipswich who came down with a very good squad are not having it all their own way.

He might do. But let's be realistic here. Our supporters adore him and he celebrates every goal like he scored it himself. He has a chairman who backs him. If he fails at keeping us up there's no surprise. But if we stay up?

The sand person that let the dogs out

Outplayed is going a bit far. Having most of the ball and doing nothing with it doesn't mean a lot. Our GK didn't make a decent save all game. Our problem recently has been playing like Middlesbrough but getting hit on the counter. Don't worry you will soon want us winning games. WBA next 😂

Loved these comments from a lot of supporters that just don't care about us 😂 You should want us to get promoted so you could take the p1ss with us losing nearly every game in the Prem 🤔

It's starting to look like any 2 from Oxford, Leicester, WBA and Portsmouth. Blackburn are picking up points and pulling away. Oxford are poor but their players are giving 100% so anything can happen. Portsmouth have 2 games in hand. WBA are also poor but they have a couple of points over you and have Oxford to come.

I'm a supporter of a club that went through similar in recent years and I'll tell you straight you can demonstrate against owners that are wrecking your club and back your players at the same time. The club becomes toxic from top to bottom and the players understand. But you would need to give vocal support to the players. No booing them off the pitch because they're not good enough as long as they're putting the effort in. They're not good enough because of what those ruining your club have done yet you seem to want them to have an easy time and let them continue to take you lower.

That's exactly what happened to my club and I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. Picking up free signings on a low wage doesn't make putting a decent side together easy, and when you pick up a player who does well they get sold to the first offer to pay the latest bill. We ended up in League Two because of it and were only saved by Mark Robins coming back to our club having made a deal with the owners that he could keep half of the transfer fees to replace the players sold.

Sorry but I have to disagree. Sakamoto gets constantly fouled every game yet he just looked at Thomas and you would have thought Thomas got shot.

Propaganda or not it takes a special kind of supporter to watch their club only take 1 point from the last 6 games and see their nearest rivals 1 point ahead but 2 games in hand and the next nearest on the same amount of games but 2 points ahead and think everything is OK. League One isn't a walk in the park. It's hard to play football when your opponents are allowed to bully you in every game and their players always give 100%. Add to this the reasons why you're in League One. You do a Google search to see where the small town is that you will be playing but they then do the double over you. It doesn't take long before reality hits home if you don't go down in a strong position for League One.

Sure was. Gift your club 25m you have 15m to spend. They got ripped off for 15m for Stansfield but he got them promotion to the Championship. The other point is that the rules are separate to FFP in the Championship so both Birmingham and Wrexham started off with zero spend for the £39m spend over the 3 years allowed in the Championship. And the remainder of the gift can then be used in the Championship because they're then under different rules. It's all a big con.

If done within the rules it would make you stronger. In League One you're only allowed to spend 60% of income on player expenditure. This includes transfer fees and wages. An owner can donate as much as they like....in other words not a loan....but it is then counted as income, so only 60% can be used on player expenditure. The rest must stay within the club for other expenditures.

Which makes it loans in lieu of future payments. You pay a lot of interest on these payments. Macquirie is a bank. Banks do mortgages and loans.

We still had a few thousand turn up for the 'home' games but you struggled to get an away ticket. In one away game we were given over 7,000 tickets and they sold out within 3 days. It won't be easy, but if nothing is done there's no pressure (other than financial) for anything to change.

So you pay a high percentage on money loaned from Macquarie and none of it taken in advance is a loan? Has it been given to you? Do they expect it back? 🤔

100% nothing should happen to the statue. But the majority are not interested in any kind of demonstrations? It's not good news if true. There's no way anyone can justify tour club is run in a good way in any direction. Clueless owner, Clueless 2nd in command, no manager and starting to look like destination League One is the aim. Poor quality players that cost countless millions and taking millions in wages out each season. Where is the money coming from for next season? You say about Vicha's legacy. The legacy is what's happening now. Your club is becoming such a basket case that the whole legacy is being wiped out. Yet the majority won't even say anything? If you get relegated it won't be easy to come straight back up. The slide can continue without a decent owner. Hopefully if it ends up in relegation people will start to come to their senses.

1-2 Blackburn

You're very good at deflection. Sheffield Wednesday got their points deductions because of those ruining the club and breaking the financial rules. Your club got the points deduction because of those ruining your club. As you well know your club even tried to use the system to try and get away with it. The Sheffield Wednesday supporters had been building up support for their battle with Chansiri. Each one was known about in advance. It culminated in their pitch invasion against us where they got our full support. It happened on 10 minutes like expected. The game was stopped for 10 minutes and was a peaceful protest. These days clubs get big fines just for handbags on the touchline. Guess what happened to Sheffield Wednesday and their supporters? Absolutely nothing. Their club should have got a big fine and the supporters got a ban from going to games. It certainly would have been different if it was one of the first protests and without the backing from other clubs and the media. The FL didn't have the bottle to do anything. So you say you haven't missed the point. How about organising something that disrupts a game and see what happens. Without the backing of anyone your club will get a big fine and those involved long bans.

That's a cool story. Just go for it now. Forget about a buildup to stopping games. Get more points deductions. Cost your club money. How do you think Sheffield Wednesday got away with it?

And here's the problem. ATM your supporters are seen as a big part of the problem. It's only a small proportion but the loudest get heard the most. **** everyone else let's do it the entitled way. Let's just keep wrecking football games without having a buildup to it. Get your constant points deductions for not having control of your supporters. Let the fines get bigger each time taking even more money away from your club. Considering everyone knows who was in charge of your club when you did the 'impossible' you've just come out with another throwaway comment. Everyone knows about the following disaster. Everyone knows about the constant failed big money signings and the constant demands to replace them from the supporters. Everyone knows about the constant overspending then trying to get away with it by using technicalities. So you think you will get rid of Top so easily without pressure from anyone else? He hasn't been putting his own money in recently so can continue to do the same. He will just cut costs to the bone and leave you with a shell of a club. And if your supporters look like arrogant entitled idiots you will play your part in what happens next. The problem is it won't be for the best.

The problem you have presently is there's a lack of sympathy for your club because of the protracted points deduction fiasco. The last type of demonstrating you want is something that disrupts the game. You need to start off with something that gets noticed by the cameras to draw attention to your plight but it needs to be peaceful. Something like choose a certain minute of the game that has some kind of meaning and everyone leaves the stadium. As time goes by you can take it a step further each time. We had major problems with Sheffield Wednesday last season because of racial abuse of one of our players. But by the time they played us they were ready for a pitch invasion. We forgot about the previous problems and joined in with their protests before the pitch invasion then cheered them as they went on the pitch. That was the end of Chansiri, but you can't expect to start off with stopping a game without building up to it.

Can't see it myself. It's hard to work out the full truth with debt to shares, Macquarie loans and similar, but if most of the debt is to Macquarie they would be in charge of what happens. They know the situation and still give more loans. The club is worth more as a going concern than being liquidated.

There's a lot of managers out of work that would take the job on. They would also have less to lose with their reputation taking on a club in so much financial trouble.
