WBA (H) boycott

I would suggest an alternative.
The other club in my compass zone, Fiorentina, and also a basket case this season saw a boycott of their last home fixture by their fans. However, it was stay away from your seats for the first 20 minutes of the game.
Only a suggestion, but, who knows ?? Did have an affect on matters on the pitch? Humped Udinese 5-1 albeit helped with the opposition going down to 10 men, {Persons}, after 10 minutes.........
Who knows....

Staying out of the stadium would be then difficult to enter on 20 minutes as they close the turnstiles… maybe one open in a section to permit the odd straggler
Staying in the concourse would be odd wouldn’t it, some may feel compelled to use what must be the worst retailing outlets that any of us have experienced anywhere!

I would imagine the club would love everyone on the concourse for an extra 20 mins it's bound to increase bar sales ect
 
If people are willing to miss the first 20mins to genuinely join the protest, I think we can credit them with enough willpower to not spend anything....

A boycott of the game is not the right thing to do in my opinion. It has every chance of doing real harm to the players at a time that we need to back them.

You are looking at this too short term
This squad of players would get hammered in the Premier League
We are going backwards as a club , little or no investment has been put into the club
over the last eighteen months There is no sign of this changing
The supporters are being disadvantaged by a club not knowing where it is going due to PSR issues
Don’t get carried away by one win last night
You want to still back this circus then that is you prerogative but I see no optimism looking forward

Nothing like the harm the players are causing us at the moment, and being handsomely paid to do so.

Yes they will. And they did. We need a total rebuild from the ground up. We all know this.

Get 9 points deducted and we’re in a real relegation scrap. We need to get behind the players to help them earn every point they can.

If we get relegated it won’t be a one season jolly like last time we could be there for years. Look at Leeds, Forest, Birmingham and others.

For that reason we shouldn’t boycott any games.

I am not getting carried away by one win last night. The opposite in fact.

You hit the nail on the head , talking about relegation , that is laughable if it was not so serious
Even mentioning it shows how bad the club is managed
 
Imagine if the young lads who played last night played against West Bromwich. Where would the backing be for these lads, if people boycotted the game. Also in response to Wavers message about, what harm are the players causing us? It's football we will lose games.
 
I don’t think the debt is anywhere near £500m most the debt has been converted into equity
For the club to get back to the Premier League it needs finance
That is one commodity we seem to lack
Regarding the Boycott I think this is the most amount of tickets unsold going into a game this season
A degree of them could be resells and I don’t think the Baggies will bring anywhere near the sheep brought
 
I’m not sure they’ll bring many more than Watford brought given it’s the first Monday after the Christmas break and many people’s first day back at work / school.
 
I understood that the owners transferred 2x £200m or so of debt into equity. This means that any new owner should be prepared to at least reimburse the Thais for their investment…

Correct - so it is not 'debt' - it is 'Equity'

Why should any prospective new owner 'be prepared' to pay £400m?

Any prospective new owner will pay what the Club is worth - and it ain't £400m - that is the problem that KP have, not the Club
 
Agree
However does anyone ever make any money from football club ownership?
Just seems like a vanity project or no doubt part of a tax write off?

The whole thing about football is trying to be the best.
Playing and beating Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal.
If you are happy to lose to Mansfield, Lincoln, Cheltenham & Accrington fuck off and support Boston.
Don't hold us back who want us to be the best.
 
We tried to be ambitious and mix it regularly with the big boys. It was a gamble worth taking unfortunately it didn't work out and we are unfortunately in the position we are now.

But we were with the big boys and doing it well. It was a golden opportunity to be at the very least a well-established Premier League club. Everything was in place; all we needed to do was keep the ball rolling. But no, we had rank amateurs running the club, and little by little it all fell apart. Top was in charge, or at least the buck should stop with him. There has been no accountability for the complete behind-the-scenes disaster, no one named or sacked, just silence. How can anyone still back KP to put things right and get us back to the prem ? You know it's not going to happen while they still own the club. Forcing their hands to sell up is the only way we, as a club, can move forward.

If anyone thinks KP can get us out of this downward spiral, I would be very interested to know how.
 
Top and Rudkin are front and centre of the LCFC demise.
So what does Top do? He promotes Rudkin to a new level of incompetence, runs away to play polo and kicks the can even further down the road.
Next stop a points deduction and more internal chaos. You don't need an appointment with Specsavers to see all this unfolding.
