Time the fans really turned on the board

Throw the unwanted pies from the useless voucher book on the pitch!

 

At Blackpool it took a mass stay away for the season and then the last home game to Huddersfield they did a sit down protest at half time in the centre circle and the game was abandoned as I recall.

 

That’s one of the most frustrating things for me: they’ve definitely spent money, but loads of it has just been wasted on players who weren’t good enough and clearly were never going to be good enough (Schmidt, Green, Miller), aren’t fit and should never have been signed (Oulare), bang average but expensive (Thomas, possibly Kane, who knows), a couple who look ok but bizarrely never get near the team (Sibbick, Hondermark), ones they don’t like (Wilks), and some really odd loans for players to sit on the bench (Vita).

I know the transfer market isn’t an exact science and you’ll always get signings that don’t work out for whatever reason but if you’re on a smaller budget then it’s surely even more important to get it right. I actually wonder whether anyone’s even been to watch some of the players we’ve signed or if a deal’s been done purely on the basis that a green light’s flashing on the spreadsheet.

 

Got a lot of respect for the fans of that club for their commitment to the cause, not only did they stay away but they also met before every game in town enmass to keep highlighting the issue at hand.
Unfortunately despite all that it had no effect and if he hadn’t lost his court case wouldn’t have sold up.

 

Given there is legal action ongoing, I'd be interested to understand how the operational relationship has been affected and if anything has changed in the analytical data based approach. Particularly if Billy Beane is no longer involved (though I don't recall seeing any official confirmation of that).
