Many things have caused this, such as the chaos experienced as a result of Tan changing to red, and eventually back to blue, the appointment of a manager that a lot of fans see as a backward step, arranging for some of our better players to be loaned out or released permanently, as well being served up some of the worst football we have seen in a long time at this club.
The problems starts at the top, and work their way down. It takes a while for a business to earn the goodwill and respect of it's customers (which according to Tan is what we are), but that can all be destroyed almost instantly if you treat your customers with contempt.

A jack once said to me 'that you lot love a demonstration!'and to be honest he is right, at the first opportunity we are there marching, protesting and demonstrating.
If I was working for the club I would be on a marketing campaign like never before and would turn the fans previous demonstrations on its head and use slogans to fire the passion up.
Instead of ' bluebirds for life ', it should be ' time for bluebirds to unite '.
Another would be ' NOWBlue, NOWRenew '.
Help create a ' Sea of Blue ' with a season ticket.
I think the club should call out ALL of us who protested, chanted, made noises and put it back to the fans, the club should say 'we listened, now support'.
It is not a dig at anyone who created the slogans but the club should box clever in my opinion and use it to its advantage, whether it would be popular is another thing but it is an idea.

Many have said how can the club justify the prices if all they are doing is getting rid of any quality we have.
I have renewed but can see their point

I know you are disappointed, Annis, but I think you must accept some of the blame for this. Who kept banging on about a broken club and who suggested that those supporters not clamouring for a return to blue were not of any significance. You reap what you sow.
