Genuine answer. For this particular game, the objective is not just to avoid spending any money in the stadium. The key objective is to have zero Wednesday fans in the stadium so that the TV cameras and press can record the ‘stay away’ protest and share to the world. Ultimately, therefore putting more pressure on Chansiri to sell. The ‘young lads’ you refer to, I’m sure are well aware that this protest is going ahead.

It’s is controversial and totally incorrect.

Not every situation is exactly the same.

A snake because he decided he wanted a more balanced work place? Have you had the same job all your working life?

Hopefully they’ll be acting on it and announcing today .. they could do with a distraction today

Tom Lees is /was an awful footballer.

Absolute clarity

Surely (to a point) the IFR has to be the saviour of us and other clubs otherwise they have no worth as a body. They are (will be) there specifically to deal with areas of our national sport that the EFL cannot as they are just a competition organiser. They will ensure financial sustainability… as such that won’t allow the Chansiri business model of selling every player to balance the books, to continue. The Independent Football Regulator (IFR) will oversee English football, enforcing a licensing system for clubs in the top five tiers to ensure financial sustainability, protect club heritage, and enforce standards for governance and fan engagement. Key powers include new owners' and directors' tests, a ban on joining unmeritocratic breakaway leagues, a backstop to enforce financial redistribution if clubs fail to agree on one, and a mandate for fan involvement in decisions affecting a club's core identity

I can assure you I don’t need to read Chansiri’s resume. It’s fixed in my thought process constantly. My point was that you suggested that the entire fan base have ‘took it on the chin’. That is not entirely true. I didn’t go yesterday and quite a few more didn’t either. Only 4k went to watch the Leeds game. That is, at a guess, around 20k less than would have normally turned up. The club has barely sold any merchandise, not least the shirts. A minority (still too many) may have ‘taken it on the chin’ but not the entire fan base as you suggested. Keep it real

Thats not entirely true is it?

I could be wrong but I suspect the Trust already knew the club (Chansiri) would say no. But it is more content to squeeze the tyrant with. Many people only read the headline of a story.

Unfortunately there has been a few fantastic, inventive ideas laughed at. Usually by unimaginative, blinkered people I suspect.
