And there's reasons to think he should have been sacked when he did. But it's silly to suggest he was a horrific appointment or whatever you were getting at.


We sang sack the board in 2006 before the first time Newcastle fans had protested Ashley. Food for thought.

Don't put words in my mouth. What I said was his win stats were terrible when he was appointed and are just as bad now. A stupid appointment not a horrific one. Unless you don't think win stats count for anything.

You said he was a lousy appointment.

I can only presume you never attended Roker Park at any point of your life. If you did, you will remember that 'sack the board' was a regular theme, lost count the amount of times I stood outside flinging stones at the boardroom window protesting against Murray.

I remember the red card protest, very civilised and he disappeared for a while putting Featherstone in charge. Bob the builder :lol:

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.

The turkey Moyes has to go too.

I agree the protests should be kept outside the ground though I actually doubt the journeymen players on their fat salaries actually care enough to be low on confidence.

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.

Moyes is to blame for our horrendous start this season, not Short.

I won't be attending.

It's also likely to. As it did with Murray. But I'm not naive enough to think it will definitely help. You shouldn't be silly enough to think it definitely won't.

Oh but I definitely do know it won't help - how can it? Short hears of the demonstration, thinks fuck this I'm off, and then......err.........we go bankrupt?

Do you think 'Short going off' means he runs away ? Or he sells to an investor who actually invests?

Where are these magical investors? Where? Short will want the going rate, or near to it, for the club. Chasing him out is unlikely to shift him on that, not with all the money hes already lost on us. But the question still is, where are these magical billionaires lining up to take us over?

Keep on hearing about £30 f***ing million how much did Villa spend last year ? £40m ? When you're as shit as us ((gifted 6pts off Chelsea and Everton to keep us up) then £30m doesn't go far especially when values and wages have gone through the roof

Villa sold their 2 best players though in Benteke and Delph.
