Time to tell Short that he needs to go. I think all of us are sad that it has come to this but it's becoming increasingly clear that he's mismanaged the club to the point where relegation isn't our biggest worry - financial solvency is.

We've been through it all before but he's repeatedly left managers feeling their hands are tied and has made awful decisions that leave us in a perilous position.

Protesting may not help - but it's about time he hears the frustration of the support. It could well result in him acting - he wants rid of the club and is holding out for a higher price. Action might result in him dropping that price enough to get the sale through so we can rebuild for next year.

Let's keep it outside the stadium - the last things the players need is a hostile atmosphere when they're presumably low on confidence as it is, but I for one do not want to sit on my hands until the end of the season, knowing all that we do now about the mismanagement of the club, having done nothing.

The fans are the one real thing that matter to me about this club, and I'm sick of us being misled and manipulated by an owner who clearly has no interest anymore in our success.

My bedsheets are staying firmly on my mattress thanks!!
 
Because of course only the mags protest. Sunderland fans never protest (red card Murray out protests, 'save our sunderland', protests outside the murray gates).

Only Newcastle fans protest. Should we protest about our owner sending us into financial ruin we'll shortly find ourselves wearing black and white tops, ramming pasties down our necks.

Newcastle's protests have been embarrassing because they have spelled bedsheets wrong, used bedsheets, had a funeral for a stadium, had a resurrection for a stadium etc. Not simply because they protested.

What is embarrassing is doing nothing because you're so scared that it will make you 'look like a mag'.

Were the Villa fans 'mag like' last season when they protested against their American owner sending them down? No. This is purely a fixation of the SMB.

If Moyes is still here by then, why don't you change it to a Moyes out protest? It would make more sense.

Because Moyes is a symptom of our troubles, not the cause. I don't particularly like Moyes - and wouldn't shed a tear if he leaves. But mark, bookmark, highlight, whatever this post. Even if Moyes was sacked tomorrow, and we by some miracle found ourselves staying up, we'd find ourselves back in this same position next year. This runs so much f***ing deeper than the manager. So while I have no love for Moyes, I would rather tackle the cancer at the root of the club.

Good - leave your bedsheets at home - just bring your voice.
