1884Owl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It was the result of a poll on talksport this morning that out of all the four division AI was most likely to be the next manager to go, but as i said was only a poll Ahh, that explains it then. gonads, he got my hopes up there. Time to send an abusive txt to my (ex) friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 When this club was minutes away from going out of existence, the fans couldn't even be arsed to rally round and protest then. So why would they protest over such an insignificant issue over a manager's sacking. The apathy shown by Wednesday fans during the whole takeover/liquidation saga, made me realise...the majority of Wednesday fans just don't care about the club and its politics. As long as they've got something to do on a Saturday afternoon...they'll always be happy. Someone could try and organise a protest, but it'll be a damp squid.

The difference here is that the manager is purely a football related matter. Most of the fanbase don't care about politics or boardroom matters and some don't even understand or know the issues. But every single member of the fanbase cares about matters on the field (even Talon is purported to). A protest can be something as simply as hurling abuse or giving him dirty looks as he walks down the touchline. Everybody has different ways to show feelings.

The club was minutes away from going to the wall. These fans "only interested in football" wouldn't have had a football team to watch. And still, we could only muster a couple of hundred fans at the protest. Sheffield Wednesday fans are not interested in getting their hands dirty...the majority see clapping when things aren't going well, as a true test of fanism.

Guest Distraught! Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) It was quite simple. The club was minutes away from going to the wall. These fans "only interested in football" wouldn't have had a football team to watch. And still, we could only muster a couple of hundred fans at the protest. Sheffield Wednesday fans are not interested in getting their hands dirty...the majority see clapping when things aren't going well, as a true test of fanism. But don't you think that most people although obviously holding strong feelings about the matter believed that this kind of protest would achieve nothing? I don't argue that most of the fans will not get involved in things like "shoes off" protests but I bet there are plenty in the crowd that would be willing to let Irvine know just what they feel about the football. Most will just use their mouths to do the communicating whether it be boos or abuse. Normally, I would never condone this kind of behaviour but there has to be a tipping point and that has arrived and gone. Mandaric will act on the feelings of the fans because they represent a return on his investment! Edited January 23, 2011 by Distraught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin-a-hoot Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I am 150% against irvine out chants during the game mainly because our role of supporters during a game can really help the mentality of some of the players so projecting negativity at them may cause problems so during the game lets give our full support to the club we love and after the game we can boo the manager, if he is still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pembo55 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Why do people always say that? There not children. Couldn't agree more there adults and don't see why it affects them being able to play its not aimed at the its the manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy bunny Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 if yeovil score first on tuesday then AI will get the treatment he deserves the boos will be deafening totally embarrassing for all i hope it doesn't come to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madowl47 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 WE WANT IRVINE OUT SAY WE WANT IRVINE OUT Got to happen from start to finish irrespective of the score. Ok it may effect the players.......personally I think it will lift pressure on players as we wont be getting on to them. Even with what should be a win on tuesday (as long as Heff plays) IRVINE should still get the treatment. His faiure to recognise Heff as our main striker deserves not only the sack but to be exiled from football FOREVER WORLDWIDE !! Maybe thats a little strong but I am livid with the underachieving prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If the Heff doesn't start on Tuesday surely there has got to be some 'WE WANT PAUL HEFFERNAN, WE WANT PAUL HEFFERNAN' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bartos Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Someone get a Irvine Out flag up, like was done with Licerpool Chat Irvine out but shoes off n backs turned is stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If Irvine is still in charge for Tuesday I don't think there will be enough fans in the ground to muster an intense Irvine out chant. In fact, the low attendance I think many of us would expect should he still be in charge may be more influential in getting us to part ways with AI.

Even if you got all the fans together, it wouldn't have made much of a difference, not everyone's a multi-millionaire. But most people on here are fans, the club was mismanaged for a long time, you can't expect the fans' for run the club. We all wanted change in that boardroom and there was nothing we could do but wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not during game as it might affect the players the only suitable time is AFTER the game surely. A bit of common sense please. Good idea,not during the game they might join in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
