Call the big 4's bluff and let them form a breakaway league with the 'elite'. No doubt the collapse of international football will follow, but f*ck them, the greedy bastards. I don't think the appetite is there to sustain this folly. The days of the big clubs holding everyone else to ransom has to stop. I like Platini and what he says. Clubs are effectively cheating by operating under huge debts. Smaller clubs in this country would benefit from a limit on foreigners in squads, more money would filter down to smaller clubs. Personally, I think the competition was better in the 70's. Teams were more evenly matched, were more home-grown and promoted teams had more of a fighting chance of staying up.

Phil, it's like the chicken and egg. As you rightly say, the boardroom have been horrendously incompetent for a number of years. People have had enough. Personally, I feel that an increase in attendances will just give the board even more opportunity to f*ck up. Then again, Lowe and Wilde are going nowhere. People will stay away. Like you say, the club is in terminal decline.

Ask yourself why fans aren't going. Rupert, Wilde and their bullsh*t experiment. People can only put up with so much.

Phil has decided from afar that nimby moaners are to blame for our club's demise. I just thought it was a bit rich coming to that conclusion based on a handful of messageboard posters, and not being here to actually gauge local feeling. I don't have a cuddly profile of a CEO, but one aspect of leadership is to get others to follow. Rupert is clearly incapable of this. It's why attendances are so low. You sound like you were born to be a CEO.

Come on then stevegrant, what's wrong with that for starters.

I'm not knocking the nippers. They are giving it their all, but they just aren't good enough for this league, and collectively won't be for at least a couple of years. Precious time we just haven't got.

Nice to judge local feeling from afar. The club is dying because Lowe and Wilde are a pair of self-serving, loathsome arseholes. People have had enough and are voting with their feet.

You are joking....

Strachan wanted De Pedro, Malbranque and Saha. Rupert didn't, Rupert gets his way.

To be honest, I'm boycotting games because of the return of Lowe and Wilde. The only time I've ever done this before was towards the end of the Branfoot era. Hopefully we'll have the same result.

Face facts - JP is out of his depth, and is not being helped by his Director of Football.

It's not whingeing, it's stating the obvious. We are in this position because our boardroom has been Mickey Mouse for a good few years. I have an alternative, get Rupert and the other monkeys upstairs on an incentive deal for their wages. Tie it to attendances and points. Stop putting Tyro League players in the side and leaving better more experienced players on the bench. Stop signing central midfielders and get some full-backs in. The dream alternative is Askham and co realise how poor a businessman really is and withdraw their proxy's from him. Get Wilde and Lowe to crawl back under the stone they came from. Total football/football first my arse.

It's as if Rupert is writing it himself. Just write him off as a clueless idiot who thinks football started with the Premier League in 1992 Tamesaint.

If his friends are laughing at him what is the point in him making a statement. Might as well get Marc Jackson to make a statement as well, and Paul Allen.

Davies wouldn't last 5 minutes working under Lowe.

I disagree nick. I know plenty who are staying away for that very reason.

I think the gates would certainly improve on the 15K last night if Lowe and Wilde just f*cked off. They have split the fanbase and people are staying away because of them. We need to strengthen at both full-back positions. We are very vulnerable there, and we could play Surman in a position where he could hurt the opposition. The 4-5-1 experiment is crap as well. We need to go 4-4-2. John has to be in the side and given a decent run. He'll score goals for us no doubt. I don't particularly rate the manager either, but accept that he needs to be given time.

Waste of £25 in my opinion. To be honest, Lowe and Wilde have knocked all the enthusiasm out of me. Won't be going until they're gone.

Absolute horsesh*t.

Decent post. I'm in total agreement. Lowe oversaw relegation, Wilde spunked the parachute money, yet Crouch is the scapegoat for our financial position. And some people actually swallow that crap.

He struck a balance by loaning Rasiak and Skacel. I thought Leon did a decent job.

This time last year we beat QPR 3-0, this result was on the back of beating Stoke.

Just because it's straight after the game, do not dismiss it as knee-jerk Weston. A lot of people have been saying this for a while now.

Sorry Nick. But I see it as condoning Rupert. Unfortunately, the way I see it, the sooner him and Wilde are out of the club the better.

Yes, let's just accept mediocrity. I won't, and I don't see that makes me a worse fan than you. Rupert can ram his 'I know best' attitude, and ridiculous experiment right up his arse. I won't be there on Wednesday.
