Matt Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 sorry but id say it was complete FAIL, it's too late to start buttering people up with tours here and there, clutching at straws is what it is imo I see where youre coming from but theres been so many complaints that they dont involve the fans but when they start to involve the fans again its not good enough. Rock and hard place spring to mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock and hard place spring to mind.... Yeah i agree with you, i just think it's far too late for them to be even trying to get all cosy with the fans or whoever, they need to accept they have failed and move on from it.

Wishful thinking but I slept well and have some optimism back could be, but i really don't see what anyone involved in the running of our club can do to bring support back, they have failed long-term (some good things) let someone else have a go at the job, someone more qualified with more experience.

StevO Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 100% not trying to sound patronising Matt. Reading it back now you've mentioned it I can see that it would look that way. Not meant at all mate, my bad. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 The fans forum isn't a new thing. It's been going on for a while. But it's not information shared with the whole fan base, it's a select few members and the forum itself is never made public. Is it worth being open to just a hand full of fans?

Matt Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 but harsh comparing them to the Nazis. The Nazis were at least organized..... Anyway - cancelling the protest isnt going to be the end of them, they will swoop in as soon as we lose a game and start all over again. If they do, I hope they take a long hard look at themselves and try and be professional about their concerns. Im not going to hold my breath though......

Hafnia Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't think they are a result based group. I think they know that the club is owned and run by people who don't have a clue and have no control over our destiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well they have admitted it is due to the upturn in form, and they will see out the season and crack on. Hopefully before the end of the season we might see a buyer emerge and the BU can walk off into the sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonButtle Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 They have just proved that they are a complete bunch of amateurs imo, if you are going to do the campaigns, protests and all that stuff, then you stick with it, through the good and the bad, the thick and the thin, you do NOT just stop and have a few games break when the team starts picking up a few points here and there. What happens if tonight we get a rebound performance from LFC and lose 3/4-0 to them? The Buffoon Union will be climbing the walls tomorrow morning going mad. They have simply proved to me that they are just a one man and his dog operation and are out of their depth with the whole thing. I had fun with a bunch of them the last few days on FB winding them up over this, do you know that some of them actually believe that the BU forced the club sign players in the January window!! nothing to do with the fact that maybe,just maybe Moyes might have wanted to strengthen the squad....

Hafnia Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think there are idiots on both side of the fence Pris, there are those in the B.U who don't even know about the kings dock failure, Kirby, the NTL deal, Chris Samuelson - who just look at how little money we spend and join a bandwagon believing that the next owner may buy us Lionel Messi. Conversely there are the happy clappers who also know very little about the kings dock failure, Kirby, the NTL deal, Chris Samuelson - who just look at the fact that Bill is a blue, he brought Moyes in and a takeover pretty much guarantees a portsmouth situation. Somewhere in between there are balanced fans who take all information into account - some don't trust Bill and the board, some believe he is doing the best he can. I sit with the "I don't trust Bill and the board" anyhow.... roll on tonight COYB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that some of their supporters may say that, but i'd be very surprised if it was any of their actual members and organisers who would think that.

Guest blueboy122 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Fully agree with Prisoner about the Blue Union. It shouldnt matter how the team are playing at the moment, if we are top of the league or bottom of the league they are meant to be protesting about off feild issues i.e back room, financial issues nothing to do with the team. They have just proved to me that they are a bunch of bafoons, how fickle can these people get. They are just looking to blame people for when the team are under performing.

Romey 1878 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 http://www.theblueun...tadium-of-light Something else for the Buffoon Union to get their knickers in a twist about. Th Blue Union are sticking up for our fans being treated unfairly and you're having a go at them for it? Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
