What a bunch of embarassing morons.

Or............. have they got a point!!!!!!!! apparently the word on the street amongst the people is that the protest has been arranged by a "moderator" has someone gone undercover on here......after all that has been said against comments made by fans like myself.......

Instead of bunching all your full stops together randomly, why not try placing them at the appropriate points within the paragraph.

As it stands, your posts force me to read them several times to understand them, only to find that it's been a total and utter waste of my fucking time.

While I would never normally criticise other fans for getting up off their arse and standing up for things they believe in (however misguided), all this protest will do is reinforce the mistaken belief that McLeish is not wanted because of his past association with Blues.  I'd save any anger for the man who has completely buggered things up, Randy Lerner.  It doesn't really matter who is in charge until Lerner sells, although we obviously stand a better chance of getting relegated with McLeish in charge.

Yes, Lerner. Bugger off and take all that money you've invested with you. How dare you give it managers to buy players with.

How quaint. No wonder you think Lerner's doing a good job if that's the sum total of your understanding of the situation.  I expected more if I'm honest.

Lerner has undone all of his own hard work with this appointment. I like McLeish, but why piss off the majority of your customers? Thought he was supposed to be a business man?

The "sum total of my understanding of the situation" covers a lot more than looking at a few figures and forming an opinion based on my own prejudice. It includes such things as talking to experts in this field, asking questions of relevant parties, and, on the whole, being satisfied with the explanations given.

I can't say i was thrilled with his choice of manager either but after the amount of money he's put into this club, wanting him to sell up sounds a little bit on the ungrateful side.

Any footage of this 'protest' should have Duelling Banjos as the soundtrack.

Ffs they better not get in the way of my  ritual of a pre-match lap of the stadium.

You get the impression that some people have impatiently been counting the defeats, hoping that a protest soon could be warranted. As we are still placed a comfortable distance from the relegation zone, they've run out of patience and launched a premature protest. They couldn't wait any longer for having a go at Big Eck.

The performances and results so far under McLeish have provided little cause for enthusiasm. But at the same time, we are a long way from the kind of footballing disaster that merits a protest.

Yes. The timing's very odd. If we'd been beaten in the FA Cup last weekend and just sold a key player in the transfer window, you'd expect something like this, but actually, performances and results have been reasonably encouraging (Swansea aside) since the Liverpool game.

I retain my doubts over McLeish but I'm satisfied with how the team have done in the last few weeks and don't really understand the need for a protest, or what would be gained from it, other than creating the wrong kind of atmosphere, particularly before a winnable home game where a new signing (albeit a short term loan) is likely to make a debut.
