Hamakua Pueo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 To answer the thread title question: yes. Mature? Reason? Owlstalk? Is that the definition of an oxymoron? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Watto Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 Wtf has laying off Chansiri got anything to do with Wednesday staying up? Question, Do you think it'll be any different next season with chumpster in charge and better still will Danny Röhl still be here? 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 31Dec1966 Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 No, protest does not affect the team, in fact, you could argue it has been a positive. Personally, I think it has no effect either way. If a miracle happens and we stay up, do you think our owner would suddenly change his ways and put right the last 9 years ? As long as protests carry on being dignified and don't affect the team negatively they should carry on. 20 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecap Owl Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Sorry to be the purveyor of doom -- but it seems obvious that Chansiri is not in a position to fund this club moving forward and we will just inevitably nosedive into L1 either this year or next....

Popular Post WalthamOwl Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 The protesting isn’t making any difference to how the players perform. Should be continued imo. Chansiri doesn’t deserve a break from it. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrickyTrev Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 47 minutes ago, MF TAZ said: Sorry to be the voice of reason but we’ve got a couple of months and then we’re either up or down… You’re not the voice of reason and we’ve backed off the guy for the best part of a decade. If we go down what do you propose, protesting outside and empty stadium when there’s no media interest? Because I can guarantee that if we start next season in the third tier and we win a couple of games you’ll be saying exactly the same thing then as well. Chumpsiri relies on fans like you who believe it’s NEVER the right time to protest. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 To protest or not to protest ... The answer shouldn't be dependent on results on the pitch The protests aren't against the team or coaching team. Protesting regardless of result, would show that Only protesting after losses looks petulant and perpetuates a myth of ill will towards the team 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F. Spiksley Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) No. We do not live in Pyongyang. Whatever your view, at least accept the right to protest and express free speech. If any of our players are that lily-livered and affected on the pitch by a growing majority of our fans who are voicing an opinion on the club ownership then they need to give their head a wobble and remind themselves that they are a "professional" footballer.

No The protests have been ongoing for a while In that time we've done amazingly well on the pitch, and Röhl is super professional, winning games, bonding players and fans, and climbing the league table to safety hopefully The protest has zero impact on the playing side of things as we've seen 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Time to start saying it like it is. A failure (or refusal) on an individuals part to separate the form of the team from the ownership is down to that individuals own stupidity. It's YOUR problem. It's not for 1867 or anyone else to educate you or wait for you to catch up. The pace of protest shouldn't be dictated by trying to placate this lowest common denominator opinion. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be the ideal working situation knowing the fanbase is at odds with the owner. That is the one fear I have in the back of my mind. Or am I overthinking things again? Röhl comes from Germany, a country that is so tuned into football politics that has ownership rules in place to prevent Dejphon Chansiri happening to clubs over there. A country that is consistently at the front of supporter movements against dodgy owners and the cost of football. A country where entire clubs are set up and ran to reflect left and right wing political ideologies. Don't worry. Röhl understands all of this. I actually think it's doing him a disservice to suggest he doesn't get it but I'm sure you didn't mean it to come across that way..
