Howard Hodgson is a jolly good shout, it's worth asking him I think. He's on twitter, try sending him a tweet and he's also on tbar. Try both though in case  he doesn't respond to either.

Jolly good! He sounds great, and crikey did he see through Lerner's bullshit way way before so many.

Well, what are you waiting for? Send him that tweet or ask him on tbar. It sounds like you want to.

I remember the grief he used to get on here but it turns out he was right about Lerner.
Yes, I must tweet him!

A bit of a strange and diverting question bearing in mind he doesn't know me, but yes. I could live with it. Anyway, you're the one that's tweeting him, not me, leave me out of it.

Something about Charlie Aitken I reckon...

Edit: Just had a look on his twitter and he says the time for protests was years ago, damage has been done so hard luck SH.

Damn, it's all too late. If only we'd had seen through Lerner earlier.

It might make him hurry up a little.

Isn't there a consensus that JPA followed the £ sign protest? I think protest is much more effective than 'oh, don't worry, they know people are pissed off'.

Well the tide began turning in summer 2011 with the infamous managerial search, they cooled off McClaren and then appointed McLeish. Plenty of fan protest then but he still stayed in the job for nearly a year.

In fairness now relegation reality is kicking in with still 9 home games left, I do think the dissent levels will start going up a notch or three especially if we lose a few more.

The big problem for me is Lerner refuses to attend games at VP now. Doug Ellis was at least there so he was a visible presence in the directors box for fans to chant at, it loses it's effect shouting at Tom Fox or the recruitment committee.

I'm interested in how much the takeover price will drop in the summer. Currently 150m, how much can he realistically demand on championship revenue streams?

What are the Championship revenue streams? TV money, for instance.

Actually, the following gives an idea...

I'd expect our value to be something around what he paid for us.

Those TV income figures in the Championship are quite sobering are they not.
