Exactly.

Not what I asked at all but never mind. Lol. Also I think someone could be relatively unconcerned about the owners or our overall plight but still use the red button for midweek night matches in winter, that's an entirely separate issue.

It seemed to be common consensus though, certainly when JDT was here, and maybe even Eustace, that the Head Coach had input into the selection process and the final say.

Lol. Message board Gold.

So that's a "no" to all 3 then. Can we summarise that by saying you're not prepared to engage in any form of protest? (If we can that's perfectly ok, it's not for everyone)

You're stonewalling here and refusing to answer a perfectly straightforward "yes or no" question. But Ill humour you. (For example) Participating in a Venky's out protest outside the ground? Participating in a complete boycott for one specific game? Not taking your seat until a specified minute and/or leaving early?

That seems unlikely and sounds like a fairly obvious attempt to fob you off. Do they charge the organisers or quibble whenever there's a March for Gaza for example which they seem only to happy to accomodate on a regular basis? Genuine question as I dont know.

Would you participate in a legal protest?

So broadly speaking in your view, the Trust have taken over "The Coalition" (such as it was) and shut them up?

Too late to ruin the pitch, they've already done that for us.

Not a bad idea. I think we're at the stage where as many people as possible need to carry out an agreed and organised protest every week. Boycott one week, go in on 18 mins, leave on 75, another, fill the ground on a Venky's out day, whatever. Do as many slightly different things as possible to keep it fresh.

I've said above, concerted and persistent action. Persistence is the key. Once it's started never let up. I'd be prepared to participate in any legal and organised forms of protest if any were announced. What's your solution?

I can't remember Mowbray specifically saying that but it does sound like the sort of thing he would have said as he had absolutely no ambition for the Club. A proper manager would have been fighting tooth and nail to keep our better players, operate with a slightly smaller squad or whatever. Not be happily waving them out of the door.

So your solution is do nothing and "Get behind the lads FFS"?

There really are no lengths you won't go to to try and defend the Club are there? So is it all right if Ismael went on holiday in December? (actually that might actually help but I presume you get the point) What about some of the players? Poor lambs must be getting a bit tired by now.

Not sure I understand your post. Are you saying you left both "The Coaltion" because they wouldnt mobilise for the Derby game, and before that you left WATR because the Board members were reluctant to take any action? Tbh, historically different supporters groups have always been a bit "Fuck off - we're the Judean People's Front not The People's Front of Judea" for me. However I've no idea how anyone wouldnt unite behind the aim of removing the owners and their vile henchmen now. Tbf the only bit of positive action I've ever seen from anyone was from "The Coalition" when they requested that the 3 stooges stay away from games, gained significant media attention and panicked them into putting out the car crash interviews. That was excellent work, unfortunately since then it all seems to have gone relatively quiet and the Derby game which would have been an excellent rallying point has been and gone. I couldnt agree more about the comment about the mood fluctuating with results. A couple of bad ones and people on here are climbing the walls. A couple of good ones and people are suddenly happy as Larry and it's "oooo isnt Ismael doing well with such limited resources" type thing. The odd (and it is only the odd) good result doesn't change anything. Underneath the Club is rotten to the core and imo hurtling towards oblivion. League 2 or beyond. The question is, are we as a fanbase prepared to do anything about it or are we happy to just sit back and let the Club die? Doesn't have to be anything illegal but imo we have to step up our opposition and it has to be visible, absolutely constant and incessive. Can't have one excellent initiative then nothing for 6 months. (That's not a criticism of the Coalition more the fanbase as a whole)

To be fair you'd have to go some to achieve that. Worst home record in the Club's 150 year history. One win, three draws and six losses. To update a stat I looked up recently, we've STILL only led for about 76 mins of those 900 mins of normal time at Ewood. And people wonder why the atmosphere is bad at Ewood and why attendances are now dropping like a stone! 20 goals in 20 games overall. We've only scored twice in four out of those twenty games. Dire doesn't really do it justice.

Not a fan of Gestede by any means but how did he stab Waggott in the back?

And in the meantime he'll have to console himself by picking up his £600k p.a. My nose bleeds for him. I dont think you can compare JDT/Eustace and him at all personally.

St. Steven's protege. Bless. Can you imagine the sort of person you'd have to be to trail around after Waggott every day and learn from him?

That's absolute nonsense imo. They're his players! He knew exactly what he was getting into when he signed up for the "transition". He has never stopped harping on about how "aligned" everyone is, and dressed the whole charade up as him personally wanting to bring in stronger more athletic players or some such shite.

Which Club did they say that was with?

£1m.

That imo is the biggest problem, even more so than the defence. (Although that isnt good either).

Even more importantly, which midfielder is as good as Travis?
