Well, it looks like there are 6, possibly 7, people ready to walk out after 72 minutes.
Nobody will notice!!
A proper protest needs planning and support. There has been neither.
There’s only 100 or so who read threads on this site with any regularity. 70% don’t attend matches. Of the remaining 30 only 10 are interested. So you have 3 or 4 more to get on board …..
It ain’t going to happen.
If Hill had nanaged to make any improvements to performance when he csne in, or signed anyone who could improve the team in the trabsfer window, we could have survived (although it was a difficult ask).
We had no new manager bounce and we have not seen any improvement in results. He has achieved nothing.
He has done nothing since he came.

In what respect is he on thin ice?
I would suggest that he is on thin ice because his record is appalling.
The fan base should be calling for his head. They have done for the last few managers- who all had a better points per game ratio.
Don’t just talk about it, get it ORGANISED.
You shouldn’t expect someone else to take responsibility. Get off your arses and start planning.

You never said whether you would have joined Swanny given the chance Ironawe?
Hypothetical question but who ever chooses or is chosen to be on a company board has to sign a confidentiality agreement, that will apply to Neil Wright too. Thought you might have understood that Awaywego TBH.
I was a member of a number of company boards and I never signed a confidentiality agreement.

One idiot fan charging onto the pitch to attack a steward reflects badly on our club.
Did not realise you were aware exactly what went on and all the circumstances , were you one of the stewards/security people involved? If so please give us all on this forum a full, fair unbiased account.
I know what I saw, so I was responding to what was an illegal pitch invasion. There is no way anybody can justify what happened.

You can tell how bad the football is when people are spending so much time talking about a little wanker who broke the law. Serves him right in my view.
If we had won he would never have been mentioned.

Sadly, he will have no power at all.
Whilst he may get to know more about what is happening their will be restrictions about what he can and can’t say.
Anybody who thinks Hill is the answer is asking the wrong question.
Hill, Cox, Swann or Burny. It would make no difference.

go
I can’t believe how many people are making out that Hill is a Messiah.
We have had no new manager bounce, we have seen no consistent improvement, the new players are not performing any better than thoae they have replaced and the stats are just as bad as they were under Cox
I am underwhelmed.

This must be the fifth ” must win” game in a row.
Surely we must win a must win game soon…….
If we don’t win this “must win” game today then next week’s game at Crawley will surely become a “must win” game.

We move the ball around quite well (and surprisingly quickly kast night) until we get to the 18 yard line. Then we panic.
Very few of our team are willing to shoot from distance either – or maybe they aren’t good enough.
We could have played until midnight and we wouldn’t have scored, and therein lies our problem.
I came up with my son in law, who is an NT supporter, and he was surprised at how much better we were than when we played at Sixfields.
There is definitely some improvement going on, but we really need a couple of goalscorers.
Sinclair had a good game but my MOTM was Millen – solid all round.

2355 might have been the official att3ndance, but that must have included all season ticket holders, a mumber of whom weren’t there!!
We estimated just under 2000 – with about 400 NT supporters.
Not great news for us Flynn going to Walsall.
Let’s hope that he has the same effect as Hill had when he came here……
What a sensible post.
Swann is many things, but I would suggest that incompetent is quite probably top of the list.
I will also say that his intentions have always been to improve the position of the club. Sadly, his incompetence and lack of football knowledge have led us to where we are now. The sooner he realises this the better. Let’s hope that the recent activity and the confirmation of Hill staying on regardless as the start of a change in fortune.
Regarding ‘matters sinister’.
Someone whose highly knowledgeable opinion I value greatly – and really knows her/his politics from the inside – has declared to me that he/she has encountered a surprisingly tiny ratio of plots in high places as opposed to the alternative explanations.
Whether this is where plots are assumed to have happened in: politics, business, high finance etc – playing the odds, apparently, you are ALWAYS safer assuming incompetence to be at the heart of the matter. It begins as the odds on favourite.Consequently – applying the logic above – this writer would wager his tenner on incompetence. Managing businesses – and football clubs which happen to be businesses – are not the same thing.

I have reported bad language on several occasions. No-one takes a blind bit of notice.
4:48, and the grim reaper has been waiting all day to celebrate another loss.
What makes stomaching the bad results even worsre is that the a-hole that is Alcy is actually celebrating. Sad old git.

NI, what the hell are you thinking?
Asking BS to write even more BS is unforgivable.
if we take out the Scunny youth who are making their way in the game that still leaves a lot of really poor quality players, unforgivably selected by the Chairman for professional contracts.
If we say the 20 players are paid on average £50k per year then we are spending £1m p.a. on playing staff who we would struggle to move on. We’d have to try and sell O’Malley for £1m to cover the cost of Swann’s folly!
Your complete quote:
“if we take out the Scunny youth who are making their way in the game that still leaves a lot of really poor quality players, unforgivably selected by the Chairman for professional contracts.

My removal of the first part of the quote made no difference at all. You clearly insinuate that they were all signed by Swann.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that the man is an egotistical buffoon, however, there is no proof that he chose them all. The trouble is that someone on here will say it and it gets repeated ad inifinitum, and then people treat it as fact.
There is plenty of ammunition with which to attack Swann, but it is unfair to make up something and then attack him with it.
……unforgivably selected by the Chairman for professional contracts.

So now we’ve gone from Swann influencing signings, to making a signing, to making 20 signings. Should there not be proof of this?
This is meant to be a football thread about taking the knee. It is not another place for the poor loser remoaners to harp on and on and on and on and on about Brexit.
A win. Don’t care how, just do it.
1 shot on target, 1 goal.
We never make it easy for ourselves.
I spent some time with young Swann about 3 years ago. He told me that he “had an eye for a player”. I asked him to let me have some names for the future. He gave me 5, none whom have ever made the grade (nor are likely to).
Sadly, I don’t believe that he can do the job required. He thinks he can, but I’ll even bet his father doesn’t believe it either.
A proper back 4 though Les.
So you all know the ins & outs of each case do you?
I’m not suggesting that the efl are perfect, they are not, but they have all the gacts in front of them. You are going on what you’ve read or heard.
Leave it to those whose job it is.
So you now have more time to tell Swann how to run the Club 😁.
We could have Mo Salah up front but if he never received the ball he would never score.
We need a miracle, or a couple of midfielders who can pass a ball forwards.
It’s not more experience players we need, it’s better players!!
