Protests need to happen regularly now

Wed Mar 12, 2025 11:44 am

We need to make our voices heard, we need to be protesting before and during each match until they decide to actually hear us and stop fobbing us off.

Riza should be sacked 4 from 24 is a pisspoor return on wins, Hudson was sacked for less!!!

Everybody needs to go from Riza and his staff, especially Purse, right through to Choo, Dalman and Tan.

None of them have the balls to get the job done at management or board level.

I said it after Bulut was sacked and I’ll say it again, 125th anniversary season will be remembered for relegation to League One.

Let’s get our voices heard

I agree but the problem is that these things need time to get organised.

Without organisation, it can become a farce - the people who arranged the protest last time did well because they put a lot of time and effort into it.

I expect they are planning one for a future game this season as there is a lot of unhappiness with the board, perhaps more than there was in January.

Possibly wba but all depends if they get the meeting, also looking at Jonny’s last post now I’m not sure

Think it’s been shown that the board and Tan don’t actually care.

It’s been the same for a long time and the odd protest won’t make a difference in my opinion.

Tan out banners for the Sheffield Wednesday game is a must.

I agree with this. Enough is enough, it's time to play dirty and make our voices heard or nothing will change.

From the last post I put about protests Jonny said they were invited to a meeting through word of mouth but waiting for an official invite, the meeting is this month, if it wasn’t made official they were looking at a 2nd protest for WBA. To me that’s pointless as it’s the last home game of the season and everything will go quiet over the summer.

We need banners and vocals at all home and away matches right up to and including Norwich away. Tan watches them all on the club tv so he will get the message, at home the issue will be battling Wayne Nash and his sheep army

Nobody cares about protests, it may make you feel better but thats all.

Man u was massive in comparison, it got media attention as it's one of the biggest clubs in the world with a crumbling stadium and a decrease of season tickets, and an increase in price match day tickets, did it affect the Glazers? No, they attend even less than Tan.

The protest will be the vast empty sections of the stadium next season, whatever league we are in, that will hurt him as he won't be able to cut too much out of the overheads in L1 unless he slashes the playing side from the current L1 squad to lower L1 and watch the downward spiral of decline.

Our league position is a lagging indicator of Tan's mismanagement of the club, I think it will be hard to change trajectory now, its crash and burn time, and deservedly so.

I agree.

Whilst I’m behind the effort the organisers have put in, a few hundred fans stood outside the main reception chanting will make absolutely no difference whatsoever to Tan.

I actually think if there was some sort of protest or event right now, it would make a difference in persuading Tan to push the panic button to give us a chance of survival.

We have 9 games left to save our season and five wins would give us the 50 pts we possibly need this year. After last night and tonight's results, I can't see five wins from nine or even four and three draws.

Something needs to happen and a protest or event may well help, as doing nothing won't.

I know for a fact that the last protest worried the board but they've resorted to the usual distance and radio silence not to follow up on a meeting with Jonny and Dan. Personally, I say go again to send a message that the natives are beyond restless.

Just reading through these posts, Our Fan Base is so Divided and that’s why Tan laughs at us.

By the way there was not a few hundred as the usual poster puts his Bulkshit out.

It was approx 2,500 and Confirmed by the Police .

Yep and I've read the posts from those fans who have knocked the protest with some claiming they saw nothing of a protest. They need to go to specsavers.

This is what I think we should do. Arrange to meet at the same pub and hand out banners. We should be able to get the majority of them in the stadium. Everyone then displays then as the players come out. It would be interesting to see how the club acts on that.

And Ian,

These are the fans that are helping Tan Kill our club.

We should be united and wanting our Club to improve and have a voice.

If it was left with these so called fans we would still be RED. :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
I agree with you.

A reminder when fans raised concerns in a letter, that the board had waited over 70 days without appointing a full time manager.

The club responded by attacking the fan advisory board and supporter groups.

The board are getting what they deserve
