    Thing is nothing will change unless you hit them where it hurts most - their pocket.

    And sadly too many will still continue to buy the 15 different types of Tierney mugs, ticket upon ticket, * food, * match day experience etc etc.

    I love the club and we all do, but a few banners isn't gonna scare these *.

    I genuinely cannot believe their unwillingness to back our most successful manager in the modern era. Someone Desmond personally vouches for, mental!

    I remember when Lawell came back as Chairman, and people started to question everything we do and blamed it on him, I laughed it off and said he had no power and no say.

    Now? I think its too much of a coincidence that things did start going south when he returned.

    Someone can correct me, but I remember us all praising Nicholson for how we were ran, and then I'm certain Lawell returned and we went back to the old strategy. Not that Nicholson will be blameless, but it makes you think.

    I think there needs to be a major clear out, yet until the huns actually get their act together, I think they'll be happy with everything as is.

    Nah you're right. I felt that when Nicholson first stepped into that role things were a lot smoother and quicker. Even if the scouting (Mark Lawwell) was ropey.

    When you combine the rumour that Nicholson has asked about a DoF and been pied, with Lawwell coming back and all this happening again, I think it's too much of a coincidence.

    I think part of it is them knowing/assuming Rodgers will be away....but that still doesn't excuse them failing to improve us and spend on the team..

    They way we're labouring through this window, after what was looking like a promising start to it, is so counter productive as a club..

    I know we already discussed this but Sunday is the exact time for it. Even more so after Rodgers’ comments today.

    The board need to know it’s unacceptable and flag day, when all eyes are on us, is quite literally the perfect occasion.

    Aye some of the signings point to that. Pusey on loan, two Japanese players that Rodgers will have no clue on. Tierney and Nygren were just no brainers to go for.

    Get them so far to *.

    We're going nowhere under these obnoxious dinosaurs. They treat the fans like scum.

    All of them should've been punted after 9IAR but Ange coming in and dominating (along with our domestic success since) has saved them again.

    Unfortunately we have too many happy clapping idiots in our support that are happy to sit and take their * as long as we remain 1 point ahead of the tribute act.

    I couldn't give a * if we went this season invincible, this club still needs gutting from the bottom up.

    Sick to death of them and the subservient weirdos in the support with no ambition to be better.

    I keep praying for the day we get new owners.

    Everything about them is 'that'll do'. They have no desire whatsoever to modernise or push the club to it's limits. We still walk out to Glen Daly ffs!!!

    It depends. From his comments today, I dunno whether you'd believe that if they did give him £30m in the next 4 weeks and another 15m in January that he'd stay.

    Depends on whether you're taking him at face value. I think he maybe would stay if backed.

    My fear is that over the course of the next few years the new owners across the city implement a well functioning infrastructure while we are stuck in the dark ages.

    We are obviously doing something well to have that amount of cash reserve but its clear our recruitment strategy is archaic.

    i just hope we are proactive in implementing a modern structure while were ahead and its not gonna take ia few years of losing the league or something drastic before they do.

    As long as the current lot remain in charge we won't modernise.

    We are ran by a bunch of financial planners, lawyers, and accountants who think they're football experts.

    After that Rogers interview, it's confirmed everything we already knew about the clubs ambition and more.

    It's absolutely damning.
    This can't go on, it's time for action.
