Being happy with the way things have gone this season is one thing. I can see some things have been handled badly.

Mounting protests against them, though? After four years of not putting a foot wrong?

What would you put on your placard?

The Owners are taking the piss. The fans need to demonstrate the fact in the way they have long come to know. either by carrying banner to express ire or just plain staying away until it dawns on Randy what he is dealing with. the Club is nothing without its support and we should not be remotely happy the position we are in presently.

Go on, you lead a protest against Randy.

Are you happy with the way the club has been run this season then Dave?  I should imagine you'd be in a very small minority if you were.

I'm not particularly happy with the way things have gone, but I think the way some people are currently behaving is ridiculous. We've had four good seasons where Randy has given us just about everything we could have dreamed of from an owner and more, yet the first time something goes wrong the amount of petulant footstamping is nothing short of pathetic.

My placard would say "we are even further away from the top four than we were since you came in.  What are you going to do about it?"  Don't get me wrong, generally, I like Randy and he has done a lot for the club, but, the team on the pitch is the most important aspect of the club and to that degree, he has ruined any gains made over the last three years or so in just one season. Put it right by getting a Management team who share Randy's ambition and quality.

Yeah go on. You'll be leading it and bringing up the rear at the same time.

Every one can have a bad season. We're not immune from it.

If you recognise that he didn't put a foot wrong for the prior four seasons, why on earth would you be protesting against him? It is the manager who fucked it up this season.

You could turn that directly onto the chairman, but it strikes me that someone who has poured that much money into the club and done so well prior to that has at least a bit of credit in the bank.

He can put it right by doing one thing.  Appoint a new management tea,.  As I said, and you seemed to ignore, I like Randy, he's been great so far.  He's been let down by Houllier and Mack this season.  Change it and become the hero again.

I agree, so what on earth would protesting against him achieve?

Don't you think he knows he needs to think about making a change?

How do you think 12 people, led probably by that slobbering idiot who runs that mental blog, marching up Trinity Road waving placards would inspire Randy to do the best he could?

I wouldn't protest against Randy.  Never said I would.  He's been very good for the club.  However, he needs to recognise that the future of the club is played out on the pitch, not in the boardroom.  Sack Houllier, appoint a Manager who will take the club forward, get us back on track, like we were over the last three seasons, and the fans will be happy.  There's no doubt that this season has been woeful.  Only Randy has the power to do anything about it.

I am going to make a placard that reads:

`I Am Somewhat Disappointed With The Team's Performance Over The Season, and While I Accept That There Have Been Mitigating Factors Such As Injury, Illness, And The Mental Health Of Stephen Ireland, The Board Must Act Swiftly And Decisively To Reassure Players and Supporters That It Has A Credible Strategy For Renewal. Furthermore It Is My Belief That Doug Ellis Is A Threat To The City Of Rome, And Must Be Destroyed'.
