Are we still discussing these quacking shits?  Can't someone delete the thread, they don't deserve the publicity.

d/ will they sing about small heath a lot? Despite his previous connections having no effect on their dislike of him, no siree Bob.

e) will they completely ignore the fact that managers were hardly queuing up down Trinity Road to take the job in the first place?

These are the same plums who thought we could tempt Mourinho to B6.  Roberto Martinez turned us down FFS.

I don't remember Martinez being offered the job?

Options?

1) Down with this sort of thing

It's a valid point but I like to think of threads such as this as a virtual pillory where the virtual townspeople get to throw virtual rotten fuit and veg at an actual idiot.

Options?

1) Down with this sort of thing
2) Careful now

I'd go with are the protesters:-
a) blithering idiots?
b) blithering fucking idiots?
c) blitheringly stupid fucking idiots?
d) actually, it's just Dazzyg!

OK, he wouldn't even talk to us, which is bad enough.

You've reminded me of a Spitting Image sketch they did after Jimmy Savile was knighted:

"I have a letter here from a young lady who writes "'Dear Jim, now that you have been honoured by the queen, could you please tell me what is the correct form of address for you. Is it Sir Jim, Sir Jimmy, Sir James or You Sad Man?'"

*tangent*

[Damo70]

Just a thought but as regards the timing of the protest, could it be that as much as the people doing this hate McLeish, they don't actually think we will slip much further down the table. So they feel they must protest now before things improve. It's a bizarre thought but it has crossed my mind given the mentality I reckon the people involved have.

[KRS]

An anti-protest protest would confuse the shit out of these half-wits. Watch them do their march but slow clap them along the route singing "loyal supporters".

[TheMitaCopier]

KRS i must protest about you protesting against the protesters

[Risso]

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.

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. 

Experts like Paul Faulkner I assume.   And what view did these "experts" give? That everything is going swimmingly?

[Quiet Lion]

Anyone who protest is an arse clown plain and simple

No, experts such as accountants, football journalists specialising in the business side of the game, activists in supporter groups. Those sort of experts. They tend to agree that things could be better, but they could be a lot worse.
