Journalism aside, I wonder what the neutral would make of this board today 16:54 - Dec 2 with 6092 viewsLockdownleonard

Lots of very aggressive content and much of it quite childish.
Perhaps the association with such content influences the ease with which it can be referred to as a fans forum when considering who is right and who is wrong between PL and his SMT and the fanbase.
I just don’t think it helps.

Journalism aside, I wonder what the neutral would make of this board today on 20:10 - Dec 2 by Lockdownleonard

I’ve supported the club for almost three decades and I’m struggling to think of any other occasion where there has been a requirement for such an important intervention by representatives of the fanbase.
This is an opportunity for Town fans to be seen as influential in the shaping of their own future and without sounding patronising it could be the biggest reason to celebrate in over a decade.
It’s up to the whole group to once again come together and be strong, rather than just accepting whatever misfortune comes their way.

"Lots of very aggressive content and much of it quite childish."

Like what? Are you talking generally? Give some examples. Okay there has been some typical keyboard warrior terminology, but nothing really abusive or aggressive. Sitters called Lee a tosser for example. Something he probably would not not have said in a heated exchange with him at an AGM or in the pub or whatever. But come on, it's the internet, he's a p1ssed off fan, and the tone is not aggressive. He's well known here and a gentle soul all said and done. He's not a random unknown bod. Show me examples? You may be right, I have not looked at every post, obviously.

"Perhaps the association with such content influences the ease with which it can be referred to as a fans forum when considering who is right and who is wrong between PL and his SMT and the fanbase."

You are out of touch, out of date and engaging in things you sound totally and utterly ill equipped to handle. This website is first and foremost a news media service. The forum is an adjunct. And for what it's worth, it is a community not just a forum or message board. You may be surprised at what many of the people who have posted here for twenty years plus do for a living, what they have seen, what they know, and who they are.

"I just don’t think it helps."

It certainly doesn't. But that is where we are. There is no coming back from here. For Lambert, absolutely. For Evans? Probably not. You can relay that to Marcus, not that it will make much difference. I can't boycott his business, except ironically "my" club. So tell him thanks for that.

He should know the ground swell of opinion has finally reached a critical mass though. It's not really much to do with another spat with a media company, though I can't deny the strength of feeling among many TWTD users. It doesn't surprise me tbh, but it's a sideshow and a distraction. His investment is dead. The fans are against him. We will do everything legal to demonstrate that. I know it's no threat but you see, it does not need such aggressive language anyway. He is killing our club and we are done with it. No one feels guilty any more about withdrawing support or backing of any kind. His name is muck.

We've supported for as long as is reasonable. Enough is enough.

I don’t blame you for being angry, given the circumstances.

I’m in a Zoom meeting at 4am, so will regather my thoughts in the morning and hopefully find the words that can get my point across to the majority.

It’s not a time to allow the fanbase to be split on the logical way forward on this.

What you're ignoring, in your ridiculous trolling, is that the fanbase isn't split - unless you count 9.2% as significant.

Should Town change their manager?

My question was more about the impact that a reduction in income would have on the way the owner thinks.
As someone who has worked in business and PR for many years, I can see the logic behind adopting that as a strategic approach, over placards and directing abuse at a Champions League winning athlete.
Changing the viewpoint of a highly successful businessman is a subtle and sensitive skill in itself and it’s fair to say that the average football fan won’t understand where I’m coming from when I say that.

I’m not sure billionaires bother with such things.

Maybe an heir who stands to cop a few quid when the great leader finally departs this mortal coil?

Someone’s paid for a decent education.

While we wait, it sends that odd Ryorry character into a finger-tapping frenzy of indignation, so not a total waste of time.
