Does anyone else find themselves in a position like me, in which you basically support the aim of the it but can't get behind the actually physical protests because ITFC-related protests/are invariably really, really naff?
Rich's Bedsheet was actually one of the least embarrassing ones, for context. |  |

How should the club be run then? I appreciate everyone’s frustration and I too struggle with our current plight, but the owner listened when the fans wanted change and here we are!
We had a competent manager but the football wasn’t sexy enough and youngsters were sparsely used. After incompetence (PH), we now have a manager who has blooded loads of youngsters and prefers a more possession based game where we retain the ball more - now all I hear is boo’s every time we pass backwards.
Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand PL but the owner runs it in a way where he allows football people to run that side and doesn’t get involved.
Would we prefer a MacAnthony (Peterborough) type who can’t keep his nose out? They have been in league one for years btw.
I struggle to understand what the fans want.
Me personally, I just want us out of this division and challenging towards the top of the Championship. I genuinely don’t give a monkeys about style etc. It would just be nice to be winning more than we lose and a united fanbase! |
Off the top of my head.
- It'd help us to have a "united fanbase" if the club didn't constantly act like all criticism is monstrously unfair and actually told senior staff that it's part of their job to be courteous and professional with supporters and local press, even when they're being critical. That's a problem going back at least to McCarthy, incidentally.
- We wouldn't have a manager you "can't stand" if the owner actually held the first team manager and his staff to a high standard, rather than awarding lucrative long-term contracts on the basis of nothing and doling out free passes for failure.
- A club that doesn't convince itself constantly that it's entitled to fail. That tells itself a story about a new style, blooding youngsters and an injury crisis, so it's okay to get turned over by any club of stature in our division. That tells itself a story about how difficult the division is to excuse struggling in it. I'd like the club hierarchy to at least act like it's supposed to be at the top of this division!
- A club that organises itself with a modicum of professionalism off the pitch. For instance, without the kind of shambles we saw with Jim Henry or the ongoing weirdness where players mysteriously get injured but no one comes out to explain when we might expect to see them again or even what's wrong with them.

one huge issue you are forgetting here, you would need to actually be at the ground to join in. and as you never seem to be able to get there it wont matter either way for you |  |

I'm not sure boasting about being able to get to the ground during a pandemic to a bloke who works in healthcare is a good look right now. |  |

Petty arguments aside.
Is inside the ground the only proposition?
If the numbers were sufficient, wouldn't a large enough crowd outside the ground (yeah I know, spread sufficiently and all that) make an impact?
At least it would be noticed by local media and reported. |  |

The Duncan Out stuff wasn't naff. And, more importantly, it worked. |
On the pitch more than once. I remember going on the coach to the last game of the season at West Brom and on the stop on the way home a few of them got up on the flyover over the motorway and hung up a banner saying DRUNKEN DUNCAN OUT on it and refused to get back on the coach until the team bus passed underneath it on their way back. |  |
