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.

Yes let's get rid then nip over the job centre and get another chairman.

the club doesn't need 'supporters' like you, bog off

How not? Arguably the main difference is that Murray left a legacy - the AoL and SoL. What's Shorts legacy? Appointing a fascist, covering the tracks of a nonce and buying a player we don't own?

Murray wasn't two hundred million quid down. Like it or not the size of that figure dictates everything. He won't just fold, write off the debt and then sell for next to nothing.

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

Did Lerner still let them go out and spend £40m of the money they brought in though even though he had the club up for sale would Short do the same ? Would he fuck

I don't know the point you are trying to make.

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 attended Roker Park regularly from 1972 0nwards till it closed and you say 'sack the board' was a regular theme, absolute rubbish, the only 'protests' I can recall were against McMenemy after the Sheff Utd game in 1987 when his car was vandalised and the red card protest against Murray years later, then again i never went round the Mainstand way after games at Roker so i'd have missed your stone throwing escapades anyway.

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.

Aye protesting worked well for the mags and villa last season you nugget. By all accounts Short is trying to sell the club. What is a protest going to achieve apart from us looking as stupid as the mags. Grow up ffs.

What is more sad is what we've had to put up with over the years. other clubs have had protests and action was taken when you sit back and don't do anything week in week out it signals to the board you are content with the way things are run, are you? They will only listen if you shout up, there is nothing wrong with voicing your concerns, it won't make you a mag don't worry.

Shout up at full time in the ground on the day, the club know things aren't going well, 5 months ago all was well the chairman appointed who he thought was the best man for the job at the time and it hasn't worked out, shit happens and it'll only look worse when a bunch of bell ends with a bed sheet banner turn up shouting 'sack the board' at no one in particular doing their best to look like them daft bastards up the road, fkn protest ffs.
