Well why didnt they.
To me (and I presume others) he hasn't done much wrong. And that statement certainly doesnt convince me.
And the bleatings on here about our skinflint owners makes me despair and realise that a lot of our supporters don't want us to live in our means, but just want someone to bank roll us.

I'm just confused by our fans and by the fanzines tbh.

So you want to live within our means in league 1? I'd prefer us to be bankrolled and be in the premiership if I had a choice.
 

Back in the late summer when news off Dells possible ‘takeover’ first broke I could barely sleep I was so excited. Now I really couldn’t give a toss about todays game. You know it’s going to be a terrible performance that ends in defeat.

Must admit that's a fair point mind. RAWA are a group you can join, it's not like an independent fanzine. Bit surprised there was no canvassing of members prior to getting behind the hashtag. I mean, I'm a member and I've got no issue with it, I'm sure most wouldn't have any issue with it, but it does seem a bit unrepresentative to just speak on behalf of all members on something this important without any form of poll/ correspondence. Not sure what the point of the meeting is now, but presumably it's to discuss the next steps. Not a major issue, it's just surprising

I understand the point completely but there is a committee that is elected democratically to run the organisation for a year and sometimes that involves making some judgement calls. The committee were consulted and the co -opted reps were also consulted. The latter is important as the point of having co-opted reps like @Ghandi Floss is so we can hopefully take the temperature of the majority of fans that way. And of course the tide has generally turned these past couple of weeks - in and out the stadium.
When it came to deciding when and how to become active on this it was done quite quickly, without time for a full consultation.
It's not perfect but I think the co-opt process and the central committee election means we've acted with what the majority of fans and members want. The overall reaction is testiment to that I think.

It’s a pretty huge thing to start a protest about the owner of the club. I think there should have been something to poll the members.
Think you are leaving yourself very up for attack if decisions are made by a dozen people, maybe not this time but in the future.

Is there any proof for that beyond Donald and his lacky? Sounds like costs have been cut left, right and centre through every area of the club and the well is now pretty much dry.

Just what you read on here and grumpys analysis of a club relegated in two successive seasons who had a player wage to income in the Premier league which was unsustainable

We didn’t struggle at all last season against nearly every team we played !!! News flash we are a league 1 team we aren’t just going to steam roller every team in the league

We did struggle. A lot of our games involved us scraping wins and draws. We beat only 2 or 3 teams convincingly and when you are going for automatic promotion that is never going to get you it.

The fact we are in league one means jack shit, a lot of those wins came about despite us not having more or better chances than the opposition. No matter what the league, when you are one of the top two teams you beat teams convincingly, creating double the chances the opposition do as Luton did even when getting beat at the start. Our ability to do this, or inability more to the point caught up with us which is why we ended up fifth and beaten by the much better team in the play-off final. It's also why we weren't good enough at the start of this season as well
