G STAR RAM

Where have you got the information that the club is massively in debt?

Doesnt that just highlight the point that, unless you're winning things, there will always be fans that are unhappy with the owners?
Fans protested against GSE because they would invest enough to make us competitive. 
Fans now want to protest against MM for putting in too much money.
In terms of being financially stable, when fans are allowed back in and some more contracts ending, Id guess we are in a similar situation to when MM took us over. 

Im sure there were protests against GSE when they did that.

Im sure he wishes he had done.
Dont think anyone buys a football club with the intention of making money and it going tits up.
I can guarantee that alot of the people who, in hindsight, are slating him for throwing his money into the club will be calling for whoever the next owner is to do exactly the same.

You wouldn't have someone who has made a reported £500m for himself running a business on your behalf?
Youre either very very clever or very very stupid.

I have no gripe with Mel, obviously things haven't gone to plan and this last 2 seasons it has fallen apart. Who is to say any other owner would have faired any better in his tenure. We've certainly had a few good seasons with him at the helm and a lot of upheaval ,skulduggery , managers along the way.
I have no reason to believe Mel had didn't havethe best intrest of the club and for the most of his tenure poured significant personnel funds to pursue success .We can all criticse ,bad signings bad managers in hindsight but most on hear were raving Rooneys arrival as a player ,Rooney as Manager.And I  Can't remember many moaning about any of the numerous players being bought during the last 5 years.Were a fickle lot but Mel is a ram ,he did his best didn't work out but I take my hat off to him for having a go.

But doesn't everybody think they are cleverer than the government? Some of those people are now dead.
What makes you confident it is okay for you to put your own interpretation on the rules but not the next guy? 
It's a genuine question, I know people who have been putting their own interpretation on the rules right through the pandemic. Most have been okay.  Is that down to judgement, or luck? 
For me, I have followed the rules because I just don’t know whether I could be putting someone at risk. I suppose I don't feel that I am cleverer than the government.

I also worry about Barry Bannan, he has controlled so many games against us since he actually played here.

Im not one for conspiracy theories or anything but the EFLs treatment of us has been appalling, and I dont believe it is any coincidence that it happened after MM had started highlighting the awful tv deal the EFL had negotiated. 
The EFL are a protectionist racket run by people who have no clue about the game, any threat to them is bound to bring about this sort of reaction.

Isn't the reason why we have only scored 33 goals because we have too many potential threats and not enough actual threats?

I think the biggest thing is the playing squad. Not enough numbers, not enough quality, not enough characters.
We didn't replace Keogh, Johnson, Huddlestone, Bryson, Nugent etc. We don't have enough championship experienced players or leaders. 
We let players like Malone, Marriott, Evans, Holmes, Jozefzoon go and didn't replace them. We no longer have options off the bench.
To put it simply we just don't have a good enough squad. That is the main reason as to why it's gone wrong.

No thats fair comment, he should only be judged on his own merits.
In a run of 14 games prior to his injury he scored 0 goals.
Isnt he part of the reason we were playing at rock bottom?
I genuinely dont even dislike the guy.
I just think the fact the fact that people still say thinks like 'we've seen what he is capable of at Ipswich' 4 years after he signed for us tells you pretty much all you need to know about his time here.

I think brilliant is a bit of an overstatement but was his best display for quite some time.

I meant they have had ok seasons, not that they have tried hard.
Byrne has consistently been our only attacking threat.
Shinnie may lack in technical ability but makes up for it with effort.

Our biggest attacking threat by far and POTY isnt decided based on one game.

Byrne and Shinnie have both put decent shifts in.
