Who is the quote meant for JD or the supporters who want him out.

If she is challenging supporters to stay away if they don't like what they see she is playing a very dangerous game.


Dangerous and expensive

They pine for a move


Plenty of dead wood at the club at the moment..not least Mary Poppins, Gullible Glover and the Faith Healer.

He won 9 out of 23 games.

Dempster has won 7 out of 26 in all competitions (or 5 out of 19 in the league).

Why does the better record get Flitcroft sacked but not Dempster?


You're for it now :lol: :lol:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with booing a bad performance after a game, nor is anyone who does it a moron or below the average IQ (which some on here seem to humorously allude to :lol: ) however, not everyone is the same and if some wish to sit in silence and be satisfied with something below par then good for you and fair enough.

Hopefully, by some miracle they actually manage to not lose on Saturday and we can actually have something positive for once to speak about.

It's quite possible to sit in silence and not be satisfied. If we're Ross Dyer I sit in silence and come the whistle just walk out and say nowt. There are more ways of showing dissatisfaction than booing.

Of course there are pal.

It’s just me stating that folk seem to claim those that boo are in the wrong, when actually why are they?

My point is if the performance is crap and you choose not to boo then fair enough good for you and you shouldn’t get criticised.

My point is there seems to be those that boo who get demonised when those that don’t boo don’t get demonised when in essence you could be attempting to make the same point

I agree with this. I respect the people who choose not to boo. We’d all rather not boo. I don’t have time for the self-righteous lot who give it the moral big ‘un because they wont under any circumstance boo and they think that makes them a super fan.

Booing, in itself, isn’t a problem - a professional footballer needs to be able to cope with that.
It is (IMO) poor practice to boo the team before a ball is kicked.

Abuse is quite a different thing. There’s no place for that.

The difference between the 2 is that flitcroft got found out when he had no plan B vs Swindon over Xmas last Xmas.

Dempster got found out as he doesn’t have a plan A

According to them programme notes he’s not going anywhere very soon. Interesting that JR commented that it would cost him a seven figure sum to make a change. Can’t blame him really if he doesn’t want to be put that much of his own money up.

Sounds like they've done themselves over on the contracts again. You would think the Chairman and the best CEO would have learned after all the expensive crocks Evans lumbered us with.

Not necessarily. Remember any new manager wants his own backroom team. So that would probably mean Glover, the Faith Healer and one or two others would need to be paid off, as well as JD.

And then you’ve got to bring a load of people in. That might involve paying compensation to their clubs and agents fees and what have you.

It’s not a cheap business changing manager. Seems simple to us but we ain’t paying.

I think JR's mention of it costing him a near 7-figure sum to change things is telling and is probably the most important part of his statement today.

It helps to put things into perspective but, at the same time, renders his snap decision to appoint a rookie in the summer seem all the more ludicrous! Good intentions he may have, and I believe he does, but JR has made some very questionable decisions as chairman, none more so than appointing JD knowing that he wouldn't be able to afford to change things if the gamble didn't pay off.

I hope we win today and JD can turn things around but fear that the statement today will make post match anger even worse if we are beaten.

I thought we had appointed a lawyer on the Board (I can't remember his name - Broughton?) who would add value and protect against this kind of thing?

What he should have done of course is say to JD that he could have a 1 year contract, but that would it was terminable at Christmas if the team were below half way.

JD might have gone for that if he had confidence in his abilities and he wanted the chance.

It’s funny how managers have really long contracts when most of us probably have 3 month notice periods and you don’t get a transfer fee for a manager.

Radford has messed up and he needs to put it right, whatever the price. We are going in the wrong direction and are only 6 points away from relegation.

Yes but don't forget Derek there is a school of thought on here that however bad we get or are that there's no chance of us being the one to go down for some reason. We can't win, get attempts at goal or compete and that scares the life out of me whether or not Morecambe and Stevenage are poor too

Has Ben Bradley gone yet too? He's way worse than John Dempster.
