    No disrespect to the new loan signing from Rotherham, but they are a struggling side with a generous defence... so what do we do is sign a player who cannot get in the fist team.
    This for me is the final straw. I will not attend Oakwell with my 2 lads until this manager goes. Ive had enough of a Board of directors who still let Johnson advise them and gets away with Pure murder in his quest to destroy our club along with Mansford.
    I am utterly disheartened and numb with the club and the board. If i can influence anything with the withdrawal of my familys support then it will be worth it. I feel this is the only way i can make my point.

    My only surprise is its taken this latest loan ranger to make you come to this decision. This board and manager have been showing us nothing but contempt for months if not years but I think the penny is dropping with so many now that no amount of blagging and spin will work come season ticket selling time, which is the only time we hear from the club now in any abundance, then we don't get enough of Bens smiley chubby cheeks

    Do you really believe that the board, owner and manager don't want the club to do well?

    We're not very good, but that's a bizarre idea

    Totally understand your point of view but just because somebody is **** in the Championship, doesn't mean they are a league below.

    I've seen Aidy White play a few times and he's a solid Championship full back who on his day would be one of the best left full backs in this league. The worry with that is we have numerous players like that and are second at bottom in the league.

    Can't imagine how fetching in a player from the championship could in any way be seen as contemptuous towards the fans.

    Hehe. Thinking the same. Bit of a melodrama from the OP. A bit.

    Its not melodrama it the Goddam truth!

    The only thing of note to come out of the club recently are the announcement of

    more loans. A policy that has partially caused the utter mess were in!

    What official statements have come from Mansford or Cryne recently? One on his facebook page one may say, so is that now club policy to announce snippets of info on facebook?

    We are being treat like buffoons and i am sick to the back teeth of it. Well come renewal time they can shove it where the sun don't shine.

    Unless of course common sense prevails and changes are forthcoming.

    If you're in the fist team there may be trouble making your point.

    As your leadshot name suggests, you seem to be just spraying at random.

    And it's hard to agree with you as the latest one to bail out, when you're objecting to us finding cover/alternatives to Smith (G)

    Personally I think the contempt remark is aimed at us bringing in yet another loan player which completely contradicts the party line and is at odds with our transfer policy. How many loan players do we have now, I've lost count.

    Plenty have been crying out for some cover at LB, someone with a bit more experience. That's what we've now got (24 and 100+ games in championship). Loans are our only option atm (unless there's a freebie out there). We've had too many yes but that doesn't change the fact we need players in now, it's a patching up job until January.

    You can't please all the people all the time etc, but plenty will be chuffed with this loan.

    "Loans are our only option atm (unless there's a freebie out there)."

    Really?

    What about getting rid of Johnson? isn't that an option any more? cause from where i'm sat its the only option that will have a positive effect on turning things round.

    Another loss on saturday and a club record will be broken yet the folk in the corridors of power appear to still burying their heads in the sand!

    Getting rid of him is an option yes. But we're obviously not so the only option if we want to bring players in is loans (or freebies).

    I didn't want to bang the same sack the manager drum when I'm actually discussing players/squad/team.

    The sack the manager drum is the ONLY option left to get out of this mess!

    You may be right. Doesn't mean we can't discuss other things without mentioning it all the time.

    They might not be any good, that's a matter of opinion, but they don't view the club and fans with contempt. Although that may change if we carry on writing this sort of nonsense.

    Do you really think Johnson advises them on signings ?

    And repeating it in virtually every single post seems to be your only option. Please change the record.....
