With the FFP it might be a case of "we've made our bed and now we have to lie in it"
Maybe we all just need to get behind NJ and roar him on to success because its effectively the only option we have now.
One thing is for certain if he did turn it around he would forever be grateful to the wonderful support he has received. He already thinks this to be fair.
Come on NJ you can do eeet.

Incredible but true; it would seem that the useless clowns who own the club intend to keep this useless clown at the helm and happily walk the team into League One anonymity. They're not even going to try and avoid relegation!!! At this point in time it's the supporters who need to step in and take the necessary action by completely boycotting both home and away games and the ones who purchased a season ticket should initiate a class action for a refund I'm sure it will be noted but it won't change their minds.

They are very concerned about FFP, based on the experiences of Birmingham, Bolton and Bury. If we don't get promoted in 2020/21, we'll be real financial trouble, plus 12 points deduction. We bleeding red ink due to the losses we will make on Wimmer, Berahino, etc., plus the payoffs of Hughes Lambert, and Rowett. Paying off Jones will just make things worse. Plus we'll have to pay big money for a big name manager like Pulis, Hughton, Moyes, etc. They have dug themselves a big hole with poor signings and contract extensions that didn't work out - at least they seem to know that when you're in a hole, it's best to stop digging. Couldn’t we just copy Citehs blueprint on FFP 😎

The easiest by far way to voice your opinion is by hitting them in the pocket That doesn't mean not going, but it does mean stopping buying overpriced ale, pies, pop (£2+ for a bottle of water!), don't buy stuff from the club shop etc You can still go to the game, support whatever is put out on the pitch, use your paid for season ticket, but don't give them any extra until further notice - drink in the Harvester/Power League/Nuffield or in town, turn up last minute, it would be very noticeable very quickly when there are 3000 meat pies unsold or stocks of bottled lager and cider in the store room. People wont though as 1) they cant help it, and 2) we aren't that organised. But even if a few thousand joined in, each probs spending upwards of a tenner each in the ground and more (based on 2 drinks ish) that's £50k income per match lost, it soon adds up! Imagine if all 20k (sorry, the actual 14k who are there in reality) did it - £140k+ per game.... They would soon get the message. #ScholesOut Eminently sensible suggestion, but as you say it would require organisation and unity and I really don't think we have enough of either to make an impact...

Lambert was only hired on a six month's contract. Maybe Coates gave him a decent pay off in addition, but he's not costing us anything. Rowett is maybe still on our payroll, but Hughes' is on So'ton's. We won't make any further losses on berahino. He's already gone. Wimmer and Imbula are still earning our pay, but the end is getting nigher.

Not a badge of honour, as someone accused me of on here, but I stopped going, because I (we) could see this shit storm coming. This is what these clowns need. Also I've mentioned on another post, that I will comeback on board, when they decide to take on a decent manager, like Hughton. I am in full agreement with the proposition above. Unless something happens soon, it's obvious that they are not listening! And you'll come back when we start improving again I take it?

Yeh. Great support that would be in a time of need but does going to the games make any difference??? It doesn't inspire the players obviously and it just depresses those who go. The players cannot be arsed. This is completely and utterly evident. I would say even the ones who look like they are trying (Etobo, Badou, McClean) don't know any other way of playing anyway. they are on auto With Gregory, he is so utterly crap, it doesn't matter whether he's trying or not. Who is getting anything out of the fans attending these games???

Yeh. Great support that would be in a time of need I get your point, but what good has our support done so far this season? None - quite obviously. Some of these people at the club need to understand that this is as bad as it is. They quite obviously don't know yet.

We already have a load not bothering. Ten years in the prem caused loads to jump aboard and then jump ship inside 18 months. Time to show who the real fans are. We're City we're barmy we're off our F**king heads. Goarn Stoke.

The owners just think everything is ok!!!...business as usual. If the fans don't make a fuss ....who will???

The thing is now, where does the enthusiasm come from at the home games now? I'm not saying that we haven't had to get behind teams and been the underdogs before but this is different. Who is going to turn up for the next home game with any sort of buzz and anticipation for what's to come? The away games will probably still be a decent laugh as it's not always about the football but the atmosphere at home is going be dreadful. I don't even know if I could be arsed celebrating a goal at the moment, it all just feels so pointless and you know we're going to throw it away.
I don't think it needs to be a planned boycott, I just think attendances will tail off massively. And not because anybody is being a fair weather supporter but because the situation is diabolical. You'd get supporters turning up and getting behind the team if we were 21st and entertaining but we're bottom of the league and a complete embarrassment. You don't have to prove yourself as a support and go and watch that crap.
