  1. So what can be done to try to make this right? There's a group of very well organised people who have tried a couple of times trying to try to get games boycotted & lead protests (ashleyout.com ). For some reason the majority of fans seem reluctant to participate with them or give them support these are the guys on our side who want the club out of the hands of these lot & ran like a football club should be run again. Yet there's this reluctancey I don't understand it we the fans hold power as well as was proved by Liverpool fans a few weeks ago with the club's proposed ticket price increase. I think the time has come to give the AO guys your support, supporting the club as it stands is hopeless as it's broken & needs rebuilding. The only way this can happen is by boycotting games & showing your complete derision for Ashley the same way he shows it to you. Surely they've got to be worth a go it's time to take our club back things can't be allowed to continue under Ashley. More than ever the club needs our support in fact it needs rescuing the way to do it get on board with the ashleyout.com group.

     

    I get what you're saying, but really, is a fan pressure group going to achieve anything? Liverpool fans proved that the Liverpool board were prepared to listen to them - Ashley has proved repeatedly that he doesn't give a shit what we think.

  2. We're fucked, and will remain fucked as long as we are the ownership of Dear Leader.

     

    This. A million times this. There's no point in even debating 'possibilities' anymore - what has been revealed this season is actually worse than originally thought. We vaguely considered that Ashley being tight with money was the main issue we had, and that this manifested in things like squad depth and lack of quality in certain areas. However, he's gone and spent a huge sum this season, and we're worse than ever - which means there's a lot more wrong than just underinvestment - it looks structural, widespread throughout the club (as evidenced by the weekly howkings the under-18s are getting) and impossible to fix. We need a legacy builder of a manager to even get close to fixing it, and that's assuming Ashley very much takes a back seat. I would actually argue that we probably need a DoF/competent version of Charnley as well.

     

    There's no fixing this with a better manager though, the whole club needs rebooting.

  3. After making it plain he had no intention of stepping down, the 54-year-old was defiant as he addressed the sensitive question of his future. “Would I quit? No way,” he said. “I don’t do that. I have enough experience. I’ve been through this with chants like that [calling for his head]. That’s the perils of being a manager – and especially of this team.”

     

    What is it with people stating that having chants calling for their head is something that they're 'especially likely to get up here'? As if we're any more demanding than anyone else. I've watched a couple of Villa games this season and they've been amongst some of the most poisonous atmospheres I think I've seen. Does McClaren honestly think this shite would look better to any other set of fans?

    Margaret Byrne has fled the country apparently, as a result of pressure mounting on her about the decisions she made concerning Johnson :lol:

     

    She ducked out of the court hearing as well. I think that says everything you need to know about her to be honest, a coward through and through.

     

    Also means that she knows what she did was highly morally suspect.

  5. I agree - this is quite possibly the last chance that we have to make a change that may help us in time. Any later than this and any upswing won't be in time.

     

    The thing is, Charnley will have watched this game and probably thought something like "Fuck, McClaren might be useless...I''d better start looking for another manager in case it doesn't work out!"

     

    Which means we'll be weeks away from an appointment.

  6. What are these stories coming out of the club that the commentators keep referring to?

     

    McClaren had a spat with a journalist who apparently revealed that the players are amazed he hasn't been sacked yet. They released a statement today saying they were behind the manager as an attempt to get things under control but it's the usual shambles.
