are they making them sign NDAs in in blood now? 😉

This 'ITK' posted this. But I take everything he says as bs

I see your point, but I think as many as possible should just get behind the idea...

Depends on the truth of the matter and we've only heard one side and we only will once hes signed his DNA and gone. However a contract is a contract and the clowns at Ewood probably gave him a good one so if they want him out and can't find a buyer there's only one option. Unless he breaches the contract or requests a move.

Time ticking to get all of these signings in by Hull as requested. Surely an easy task for such an organised club.

I don't think that would be the fairest thing to do at all. I don't agree with being paid exorbitant sums for failure and laziness.

It's the latter more than the former IMO. He definitely isn't so bad that he shouldn't even make a bench that has zero strikers in a team that plays 2 at a time, one of whom already isn't a striker (or any good at all). Ismael wants to make a point about training standards, and that's his prerogative tbh.

Sounds like a great use of time… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62ver6z7z8o

I don't think its ever been unusual in football except here they are playing their games out in public. Same as 'Wanted to leave/Greedy/Wanted to be closer to home/Was offered a record wage here but still chose to leave' etc etc. Works both ways to be fair as i assume Gueyes agent will be saying pay us off in full and we'll go. Which in theory would be the fairest thing to do but it uses up vital money and exposes those who brought him in as making a massive balls up. Maybe THEY should be made to pay him up instead !

I don’t think it’s helpful to suggest someone attending means they’re content with the running of the club. It would be far better to try and establish how people who wish to attend can contribute in a different way.

Oh, constructive dismissal by bullying/ marginalising?

tbf that was pretty much the point I was trying to get across - we'd only have a sniff if literally no-one else was biting for some reason.

Hes that bad. Plus seemingly cant be arsed in training.

I'm still not sure what he's done, or not done, to warrant exclusion from the squad at time when we only have one forward fit.

We are all individuals and have free will. We all see things differently. I believe that if you think we need change and want to convey that message then boycotting ONE match will be the best way to do that. If you are content with the current ownership and the way the club is being run then attend. If you are not, I struggle to understand why you find it difficult to join an organised boycott. It is a small sacrifice for the greater good.

At least that would convey their displeasure, rather than acceptance of the status quo

Would a realistic compromise be… Those who want to boycott do so; Those who don’t enter the ground (eg) 5 minutes after kick off?

Probably because they want Gueye to ask for a transfer so they don't have to pay him to leave because lets face it nobody is buying him.

Wonder if we took inspiration for our away kit lol

It's even more idiotic to say it about a player you are actively trying to sell. Please pay money for a guy I've just admitted isn't professional enough to train properly. The club is infested with idiocy.

Gueye isnt good enough and never was. I feel a bit of sympathy for him though because Ismael was well out of order criticising him in public for not training hard enough. Managers shouldn’t be doing that.

I think visual protests within the ground could be far more divisive than any boycott. I remember a 'hold up a red card' match during the Kean era which resulted in scuffles in the ground between protesters and people who didn't agree with it. Some fans will always be against all forms of protest , some fans will join in every form of protest, some fans will protest to some extent as long as it doesn't upset their routine. Boycotting one match is an opportunity for the protesters to make a point without upsetting the anti-protesters in the ground. Everyone can make up their own mind whether they want to join in or not without affecting anyone else's routine or enjoyment.

A crucial problem down these 15 years-the slow, attritional rate of the disease

He isn't. He would have clubs queuing round the block if he was prepared to accept the wages that we could offer. We'd be a long way back in that queue.

With Wednesday, they got a lot of traction in the local press & not paying the wages of non-playing staff also damaged Chansiri massively in the community. Suhail (& Waggott) have been cute enough to stop that happening to Rovers.
