Last post: fan protests won't help the club you support

I agree, but on the one proviso that the board is sacked today and answers come from Thelwell. If they don't the club will just be an open sore that will implode.

The protests are not a good visual and will continue to harm recruitment and give the players an excuse to down tools (which we can only hope Dyche can prevent). It will also hamper Moshiri's chances to sell the club and we'll more likely get asset stripped or have a negative deal around the stadium or we will be sold to asset strippers.

This is the last time I'll post as I believe this is a lost cause

But, I do care about the club a lot and so will say for a final time - creating a toxic culture at the club and demanding too much will obviously put fear into players and management which will impact performances, helping create the downward spiral that we've now seen - ultimately resulting in people not wanting to join the club

Yes, allowing Gordon and Rondon to leave and not replacing them when we urgently needed attacking players appears to have not been good management. I suspect it wasn't for lack of trying to get new players. They should probably have held off on the exits until replacements were lined up, if financially possible

BUT, the squad we have is still better than some are saying. The best chance the club has now is for the fanbase to rally behind Dyche and the players

If not, the fans will be helping the club they spend a lot of time supporting to go down. And that will then mean then supporting a team in the Championship. And if the negativity continues, the fans might help the club plummet down the leagues. You'd think actually people having that effect might be better doing something else with their time

Ultimately, personally I think Moshiri should sell to a new owner who can revatilise things. And the fan problem will only be sorted if it is somehow directly tackled. It seems many have a fixed mindset though, which is not unusual (think Trump America etc), which may not be possible to change - it's unfortunate but the reality

I wish you all the best!

This is not something that just happened overnight, it has been brewing for a long time and people are emotionally spent. The transfer window was seen by many as a last ditch attempt to put some fight back into the club to spur us on for the rest of the season but it was a failure. We finished the window weaker with the loss of an attacking player in a squad that struggles to have any positive impact from the bench anyway! If supporters can pick themselves up and look for positivity then that is great but I can also understand why supporters are feeling completely done with it all after misery and frustration applied every single week.
