    Collective, co-ordinated action

    Check this out from Sweden:

    I mean, on its own, it's an impressive watch but it also highlights why we'll never get rid of fatso through fan action because we don't have the collective will or organisation to produce something like this.

    And that's not a dig at those still going-you know my stance: everyone has to make their own decision.

    Anyhoo, give this a watch-it's impressive.

    Something like this should have happened many moon's ago at our place. We are like moths to a flame, because that's what it is, our place.

    Regardless of what league we're in, how 5h1te the team is, whether you go to be with your mates, your family, or to get away from your family, whatever, people will still go. I go so I can have time with my Son. Life's too short Man.

    Ashley will go, hopefully soon. Who knows who will come in.

    But, I think our protests are now a waste of time.

    Sadly, I agree in terms of it not working the way things are at the moment.

    My view is that if everyone who thought a protest would work but don't because not enough people are doing it actually did do it...then fatso would sell up a lot sooner...or maybe rethink his strategy here for as long as he's still here.

    But. I've made my decision so the sooner he fucks off the better.

    The problem is, our place is the place that earns him a fortune, probably the last place that actually does.

    And that's not from us it's from the telly revenue.

    The protests will only start working if the team starts losing regularly, sorry, keeps losing regularly. This means two things:
    - we should support Bruce to keep the job (very hard, I know).
    - many of our supporters are extremely fickle.

    Fatso would have been history twelve months ago if not for a corrupt Premier League cartel. Sorry, but that is a fact !

    Very true but don't feel sorry for him. It's 95%+ his fault, and his fault alone, that we are in the state we are as a club.

    And to think, if he had run the club in a manner that most fans would have been happy with, ie. investing sensibly in the squad based on a plan made by people who know about football, he would have made even more money than he has now.

    I'm firmly of the opinion that had he done as you say Hughie, NUFC would have been his leading business. The spin-off for his other ventures would have been immense. His popularity would have been enormous and he would have been hailed as a genius of an owner.

    Instead, because of his poor decisions, penny-pinching habit and various other complexes he is inflicted with we have had a terrible time and he has had the same.

    One thing to look forward to is that one day hopefully, sooner than later he will be gone and just a bad taste in our mouths. But he will have to live with the unfortunate way he is until his dying day.
