If the attitude or character of Westwood and Hutchinson is in question. Then, it is total disrespect to the players on the pitch, to chant their names. There's no point in doing it. They're gone for the time being. If there's an ounce of truth in it, people should turn on the players, stop treating them like gods, they're soaking up all our hard earned cash and don't have the integrity to act like a professional footballer. I chanted for them during jos rein , but surely 2 managers cant be wrong. So i wont be singing there names again . Id hope that monk n hutch would clear the air but not going to happen both too mentally stuborn which will cost them both long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 People still confuse and always have confused frustration venting on Owlstalk with protest or desire to protest. Owlstalk is a medium (the best there is ) for getting your frustrations out. I've used it for 20 years, and not sure I could still follow our team without it. It's better than booing, it's better than kicking the cat, it stops you getting bitter and reminds you being an Owl is ultimately funny. The drop in season ticket sales for next season is as clear a message that DC needs. He'll be in no doubt his performance has been unacceptable.

People are saying boycott man city game but he will get his TV money anyway. Fans show anger at games, again understandable but Mr chansiri is not even in the country to see it. It feels like we are powerless. The club is sliding down the division with s real possibility of division one football next season and the chairman is nowhere to be seen and players look like they have given up. Bystanders is what we are Argue the To$$ with each other as we always do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Quite simply boycott games. There is nothing like seeing your team play in an empty stadium to get the owners attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Best thing you can do - from experience - is accept that we are so far gone that we might never make the Prem again, and get used to the idea. Chairmen, managers and players will come and go, we might have some good seasons, some bad seasons, get lucky, get unlucky, have a good Cup run once a blue moon. The constant will be our amazing fans, and they are amazing. Yeah theres a few idiots, but when you get 20000 people who are passionate some of that will spill over. But our fanbase, and its passionate away following especially, has been something to be proud of for as long as I can remember. As far back as the 70s when we looked like we were heading for Div 4, to Anfield under Wilko singing 'We'll be back' and on and on with so many examples. Best thing we can do is stop falling out with ourselves, accept that we will have 10 good seasons every 50 and enjoy it. Or just stop coming altogether.

What we really need is a manager with so much credibility in the game and a mean streak so they won't dare answer him back. Good luck in finding one of those that would even dream of coming here. As it is we might attract a journeyman manager who this lot will eat for breakfast the first time he politely suggests one of them might like to sit on the bench to have a rest for the next game.

According to recent press some Arab prince or other was sniffing around them. Don't think it's a shortage of interested buyers, more a case of Ashley's asking price.
