MESSAGE FOR ALL CCFC PLAYERS.......

Mon Dec 02, 2024 12:50 am

Got to be very honest here, it’s not down to you players why the fans are not turning up. We all know we do have a squad of very talented players and appreciate it. However, with this constant manager swapping, the board cannot be helping performances on the pitch, as I believe this squad is definitely capable of being a top half Championship side.

At home games, when I see the Family Stand and parts of the Grandstand and Ninian Stand so empty, it makes me sad. I know it can't be very nice coming out and attacking the empty Family Stand first half, that surely can't help either?

But like I said, it's all down to the Board why fans are not turning up.

If we got a decent manager in, like a Steve Cooper or Slaven Bilic in standard, I reckon fans would slowly start to come back.

We just need this Board out. It’s not helping you players or us fans. We are all behind you lads, it's just the latter has disjointed the fan base.

I'll be at every game home and away supporting you no matter what. It’s my club at the end of the day. I'm not going to support the Board, I'm going to support you and the badge and I’m very confident that with a talented manager, we will start pushing up the table.

Will the Board finally answer us fans once and for all to let us really know what's going on?

BLUEBIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ayatollah:

No offence mate but I think the opposite. Collectively, I think the players should bear some of the blame for our current predicament. The manager can only work with what he's got and for me it's the players that need to pull their socks up. Far too inconsistent for me though I agree we've got some good talent there. What we are short of though is a genuine No 9 that can work the centre half's better.

I agree with Sneggy.

If the fans blamed everything on the board, then why are there tons of threads and posts on here (deservedly so) aimed at the players?

The only player in our starting 11 who has not had an absolute shocker in some of our recent games is Robertson.

The manager is only responsible for certain aspects of the game.

Defenders switching off, Horvath letting the ball under his foot, Kanga being useless, none of these are the managers fault and the players need to take their fair share of the blame in my opinion.

The board are shocking, I agree, but the players aren’t as blameless as your OP makes out.

I understand mate and completely get that yes the players are a big part of the problem, however if I was playing for a club and knew the state of the club with the hierarchy, I doubt I would want to bust a gut for the club whoever it would be. Do the players really want to put in much effort when they see how deserted our stadium is? Atmosphere doesn't help, especially that drum that's banging all game does my head in. Fair enough if we were selling out week after week , and we're a bigger club but we're not as big as people make out. We are where we are for a reason in the league, and until these owners sell up we will continue to be. Seen a coment about Mike Ashley, and there's no chance on earth I'd have him here, tans bad enough but he would be the death of the club 100 percent. They say be careful what you wish for, and I can see in a sense that we should just be grateful for being a championship side season after season. I wouldn't mind so much if the board even communicated with fans more, its just they don't even tell us any kind of plan moving forward. Oh well, will be down there on the weekend against Watford in the canton again cheering on the boys so cmon the city!!!!!!!
