Boycott BACK ON 18:54 - Mar 5 with 5627 views | istanblue | With Evans saying nothing's happening on the takeover front, fans need to act NOW to show that the appointment of a new manager will not appease us. Paul Cook is a good appointment no doubt, but the lack of infrastructure and leadership at the club is still the same as under Lambert. The boycott of the club needs to be maintained until Evans finally gets the message and actively looks to sell the club. |  | | |  |

Boycott BACK ON on 19:30 - Mar 5 by jeera | Ok. Great = Greater; i.e. the mainland, so England, Scotland, Wales. Britain = Those 3 and NI, otherwise known as the UK. If you were in a bar in the Republic I wouldn't refer to them as part of the British Isles if I were you. Some aren't fans of that [presumed] association. |
Thank you. Yes I wouldn't have said that in Dublin! |  |

I used to text in to the awful Jon Gaunt when he was doing his daily propaganda shows on TalkSport years ago. He would keep banging on about putting the 'Great' back into Great Britain. It used to wind me up but he never once acknowledged my texts the C. I have had foreigners ask why we think we're so effing great in the past and it doesn't help when morons like him get on the radio and keep repeating it in some brain-washing exercise. |  |

As J2 says, let’s see where we are in a couple of months. Getting the right manager is key and hopefully that’s the Cookie Monster. Let’s leave him be for a minute before we burn the place down. |  |

Boycott BACK ON on 19:52 - Mar 5 with 1029 views | 81Legends | Time to get behind the team and our new manager. Be the 12th Man, even if we can't be there. Regardless of whether the takeover happens, it won't impact this season. We've had enough negativity. Promotion is a possibility so COYB. |  | |  |
Boycott BACK ON on 19:58 - Mar 5 with 1013 views | Swansea_Blue | You’ve got a bit of a point as the fans seem ridiculously easily placated. One carefully crafted press release and people are nodding along. This is from the same organisation who only a week ago were trying to slur Blue Action in the national press with proven lies. Evans is past redemption as far as I’m concerned. Why would you give him the benefit of the doubt after 13 years of misery taking us to our lowest league position for generations? Yes he’s spent shedloads (often due to his own mismanagement) but are we fans of accounting practices or of a football club? Surely we have to judge him on what’s happened to the football side? Not that he’s been good financially either - £100 m debt to fail isn’t the plus many people seem to think it is. |  |

No we are looking to the immediate battle. The wider conflict will go on if there's no sale but right now the priority is supporting Cook getting us out of this league. |  |

Not sure about use of the word 'debt' there Swanners, but sure, we all feel his ownership has failed. But, if things are happening as reported, then now would certainly not be the time to be putting off the potential buyers. If it falls through then maybe then there needs to be a fuss, even making a piece of fence netting a bit grubby again maybe. |  |

Boycott BACK ON on 20:07 - Mar 5 with 964 views | haynes_toe1 | Regardless of the takeover the OP has a point. Our fans are way too soft and whenever pressure starts to mount on Evans for consistently getting things wrong on an almost unmatchable scale our fans are always instantly swayed by making a manager change. It doesn't even matter if he gets it wrong again, it always buys him time. I mean Lambert was clearly wrong from really early on but Evans still bought himself a free 2 year period of no pressure by appointing him. Sad but true. |  | |  |

It’s a religion and a comfort blanket quite simply. The thought of dealing with the world on its own terms scares them sh!tless. |  |

They don't count. Besides, that's only cos the flag isn't large enough to put 'British'. They've got the font size all wrong. |  |

And there's enough evidence to suggest something is in the offing, so no idea why so many are spitting their dummies out. |  |
