Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[matty1878]

the number is up you horrible clowns

 

[Nymzee]

I don't think they realise just how worse they made all of this with one statement.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I have no doubt in my mind there hasn’t been a single direct threat.

What about that line about “inccreased physical aggression.” How come this has never once been mentioned before?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

What, and this has only come to light on the morning of the protest, with absolutely no evidence or mention of this on any social platform, between the incident over 10 days ago, and now?

OK!

Am not buying this for one minute. There is CCTV all over the ground and it's surroundings. Plus the 'security' that apparently were on hand would have been wearing body cams.

Hogwash.

 

[blulouie]

The board?

Looked like you were aiming your post at the fans mate.

 

[BNJ1878]

How embarrassing.

But fair play, it's incredibly smart spin from the club. What are these 'credible threats' they mention? If they're credible, share them with the police. (I suspect they're fabricated or extremely tenuous.)

Either way, in the eyes of the watching world, the fans are the bad guys. Poor Bill! Poor Denise!

If the board where as skilled at running a football club as protecting their own positions we'd be CL regulars.

It will be some nutter sending in a letter or something.
No chance it's anything organised or to worry about.
Just getting the media to go on with the narrative of the fans are bad the board are good.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Board have been told not to attend although they wanted to.
I doubt that they were all that keen!
They can blame it all on the fan's now of course. Clever spin.

 

[Librarian]

Poor guys

 

[COYBL25]

They will have to miss every home game then

I was just thinking the same myself.

 

[Donegal blue]

Disgusting that they can't attend cos of a few mindless idiots. A very sad day, these fans have brought shame on the club

Were is your proof that anybody was threatened? More like the board don't want to be held accountable.

 

[blaze]

I don't doubt that places like Twitter have some idiots who go too far, but that statement is terrible framing by the club, basically turning on the fans (with it very clearly being worded to get as much media attention to it as possible).

 

[Davideeyore]

Embarrassing, whatever the truth is. But certainly can’t get more exposure about fan discontent than that.

Everyone immediately saying it’s a made up smokescreen, but the chances of a few nutjobs sending threatening emails/letters to the club is incredibly high, be honest, we know it is. The sort of empty “if you ever show your face at Goodison again” type email. People are that angry.

Conflicted over it all tbh. It’s another reason for an up and coming speedy winger to say “err no thanks, I’ve always fancied living in Leeds”.

Carnage if we lose. Frank left to soak it up alone. Makes me want to back him.

It can be a clever 'retreat' from the board because it turns it back on the fans.

And I had Talkshte on half an hour ago they were almost complimenting Moshiri for his appearance on their show.

What more do we want?! We've had good times.

 

[Bombonera]

There's a gallic term for them. Merde-maisons. And like everything they do, the decision will backfire on them spectacularly. In fact reading this discussion thread, it already is.

 

[ProZ]

Ok, very grim

What did he do wipe a bogey on her head.
