Can't imagine the person in question would have any sort of case to defend. Why would RG be picking on this one particular individual? He certainly wouldn't be spoilt for choice!

I guess the ticket sales for the Watford game are in the toilet. They're clearly rattled but at the same time trying to sow division in the fanbase. We lose and it's "Well, the boys didn't get the backing from the fans" Win and it's "The real fans were excellent and backed the lads through thick and thin" For most people, these words are totally meaningless but it will get the happy clappers chirping again.

Kim Weston - It Should Have Been Me

It's remarkable how Hughes seems to have lost so much of his 'touch'. In reality, done nothing remarkable since leaving Rovers (how he must rue the day) and some would say he has 'bombed' in a number of his jobs. Would take him over Ismael but feel he's very much yesterday's man.

Very stressful for him...I assume he hasn't done anything criminal etc. Also, I think we could probably get together to raise funds to help him defend his case? We should expect them to target individuals like previous times. Anyway, I think the Gaslight Gobshite has got off very lightly.

You reap what you sow and this has been coming for 15 years it isn't a knee jerk to a run of bad results. The size of the crowd will make no difference whatsoever to the result and the clowns in charge want as many as possible in there so they can spin it to their bosses as a storm in a tea cup...again.

Im sure that can be done.

Not really a genuine statement though is it? Generic AI inspired waffle which roughly translates as: "We know there's a boycott planned for Saturday and we really couldn't give a **** but we have to pay lip service to it and say something" Bit naughty to hint there might be trouble or a nasty atmosphere. Ironically that might persuade a few more to stay away.

Agreed.

Awful. I think we should find a way to get this out there without mentioning the poster's name. Actually, I have wondered about this, myself, as I have really been going for him on line.

Interesting that they've released a statement about it. They normally dismiss these kinds of things as a "minority of fans". The fact they've released a statement confirms they are worried and ticket sales for the game are very low. Even the most patient of fans have lost patience. Or maybe it's more because no one can face watching De Neve, Henriksson, et al anymore. The only downside is that it gives Val a ready made excuse when we lose the game. He'll blame the lack of fans in the ground for us losing.

Yeah, Im very uneasy about these alleged phone calls. I've only heard an extract from one of them on here which sounded like a prank call trying to make Suhail sound stupid. Are they prank calls or are they recordings of genuine business transactions? If the latter, why would they be recorded in the first place, who recorded them and and did both parties know they were being recorded and agree to it? Either way the Coalition has put in a lot of hard work (seemingly at their own expense) and at the moment the way results have fallen we have them on the ropes. Imo care has to be taken not to undermine that by doing anything that allows the Club to take the moral high ground.

Petty.

I posted the image for info and can't vouch for its authenticity or accuracy.

Pears? Why are you trying to sell our players? Need him as backup.

One thing to add to this, is one of our prominent posters on here, has been threatened with legal action by him, for fighting the cause against him. I will let him decide if he elaborates or not, but he called me one nights several weeks ago pretty distressed by it. I did reassure him that it was just hot air and idle threats, which would not see the light of day, but what you highlight in your post is confirmed by those threats. The guy is a bully and a coward, who will not admit to his mistakes.

Yes, you might have solved it there.

Can't see it. I can see us losing but something going against us at some point during the game giving the excuse factory license to go full steam into overdrive again. It always used to happen with Mowbray, even in the midst of the various death spirals there usually seemed to be something that happened in most games he could point to to deflect blame away from himself.

Not sure if Gestede came from money or not but hes always had the air of an entitled brat. I think though primarily he's all about the money and nothing else looking at his career and the fact he seems to be hated by fans of both Boro and Villa. Hes now managed to add probably the only remaining fans who liked him for his brief playing spell here although not sure how Cardiff fans feel. I seriously get Steve Kean era vibes from this lot now in charge though and this geezer would be the first person i'd boot through the door.

Yes.

Because it's stadium as a whole, it might also be related to size of away followings. Watford won't bring too many, I'm sure stewarding and kiosk staff requirements shoot up when we give a team the whole Darwen End, versus a team from the South East who will bring a few hundred.

Unpopular opinion but Pears is probably the best or amongst the best 2nd Keepers in this league. And nobody is keeping many clean sheets in this present and recent Ismael team. 500k is a farce for him at this stage unless there are achievable add on's although maybe they are trying to be fair and get him fixed up but much more likely they are desperate to get that wage off the books. They won't want to pay a reserve keeper a first team wage and also that clown comes across as commission hungry to wheel and deal.

Because it is against the law to share a phonecall publicly without consent. You could argue it's in the public interest I suppose but you'd probably lose. If the person recording is acting on behalf of a business, they have to tell the other side they're recording and if they're acting as an individual they can record, but they can't share it publicly because the GDPR then applies as it's no longer "personal" use. As is my understanding anyway. Not legal advice etc etc

Ah, interesting thanks. To me then, it seems they've no way of knowing whether your mate will actually be needed, they're guessing it might be a poor turn out and gambling that they can get away without him and a few others in an effort to save relative pennies in the general scheme of things.
