Fair enough so what happens now? Speak for themselves to who? What difference is it going to make?

Gueye earns alot seems they want him rid and made a mess with him. Can see Pickering also go in January. Pears too if Toth gets fit.

Exactly that. Do not pursue an ‘official’ boycott as they’ll just spin it. Instead get out there with the real figures from Tuesday and pics and let them speak for themselves.

Engaging with the club should have been panned as a plan 10 years ago. It’s a completely pointless exercise.

No. A few hundred, at maximum. There’s already 10,000-15,000 fans missing, that is the boycott. A boycott protest now will be spun as a few hundred and evidence most fans back the manager/board.

The days of ‘engaging’ with this regime are over. Mike Graham’s led WATR was the last of many to try, and fail. It’s done, they aren’t interested. So ‘sell up’, is the only message I want to see from any group.

Can't win? What does that mean? People have walked away from their club over the last 15 years. Some haven't come back since, some have moved on, support other teams or follow other sports. Some just won't ever come back. Some of those included people I know or used to go with. Are you even engaging with the club? What has been the outcome of those engagements?

but those options all have bigger appearance bonuses, win bonus, clean sheet bonuses etc than De Neve 😉 Best they save a few quid eh? Also, playing De Neve means you are not paying out win bonuses or clean sheet bonuses to anyone, even more dosh saved.... everybody wins, well only if everybody is Venkys/Gestede/Pasha

Portsmouth commentary said yesterday that Cantwell is in talks over a new contract, don't know if it's been reported this end.

Yes.

100% this, I would put my neck out to say every other game in our league on Tuesday night had at least three times the amount of bodies in the ground as what we did.

There is already an organic boycott going on. If we're only getting 5000 in the ground, you'd like to think it wouldn't take too much more to get a good number of those to boycott one game.

His movement in and around the box is what gives opposition centre backs the problems, he can and will score goals, it's just dependant on the supply. He's our most important player.

Real punishment would be a free season ticket and mandatory attendance

The protests are happening right now. We are a Championship club with 5,000 in the ground for league games. Even if 500 home fans turned up the announced figure would still be ‘10,000’ due to STs sold. The Coalition, whoever needs to be emphasising that the protest/boycott is well underway organically and stop worrying about ‘organised’ ones.

Its was always going to be overseas appointment after Eustace cos that's was direction of travel in terms of transfers. Final 2 choices were Ismael and Wagner. Would things been different if we appoint Wagner instead

The coalition can’t win either way.

The 135 year history, before they darkened the door !

Boycott? Its been happening for years. Fans have been walking away in the thousands. We lost over 15k from the take over to now. All that is left is the hard core fans who are STH. Fans walking away hasnt had an impact on the owners and all that has happened is more cuts and cutbacks in finances. You can’t expect Fans who attend every league home game to boycott games.

It's still ridiculous to think we appointed him in the first place considering where we were when he got the job. Would anyone else have appointed this guy whilst sat in the top 6 of the Championship in February? Of course not. Even if we had been bottom 6 in February he was still lucky to get the job after his recent tenures. But then we should remember that promotion was never on the agenda here, so they weren't looking for someone to keep us up there or get us up. Eustace created a problem for them last season and everything they've done since then has been to ensure it doesn't happen again, forcing him out, dismantling his squad, selling key players to Derby, Wrexham, Middlesbrough etc.

I dont think we've bottomed out yet but I don't think we're far off. We're only heading one way and that's in to League One, whether that be next season or within the next few seasons. We won't bounce back this time either, as we wont have the best squad in the league. Would a few seasons in League One force Venkys hand? I cant see why it would. Its all thoroughly depressing and I can totally see why thousands have binned this nonsense off

Of course and I appreciate that. If there was more direction in terms of a boycott, do you think supporters would take part?

Arguably VI has had it worse in a way - they sold/lost half of his starting team in one window and brought in the calibre of de neve, Sidnei and henriksson, plus a lad who would miss a third of the season. JDT and JE didn't face that level of mismanagement.

And just think about what is going to happen come the summer if we do manage to avoid relegation. Gestede collects his bonus and then sets about offloading some more of our bigger earners and better players to make some money and reduce the wage bill further.
