Morning all.
I've frequented this site for many years now, but only just signed up.
Like a lot of fans, I've been a staunch supporter of Bilic and wanted him to succeed from the start. Unfortunately, I just don't see how he can turn it around now.
Whilst Bilic is clearly struggling, the real issue for me lies with DGS.
They're running our beloved club into the ground with their penny pinching, BS in the media and general lacklustre ideology of our club. They claim to be fans but their behaviour doesn't support this.
We need a huge day today on TDD - for crying out loud pay Carvalho's release clause and get some deals over the line instead of sunning yourself in Spain and updating your Twitter feeds.
This is the first time in years I have genuinely feared relegation - even last year I was sure we would be safe.
If we don't secure some signings, I'm not looking forward to the atmosphere at Huddersfield at OP.
I'm going to throw it out there, as I haven't seen anyone else yet - do we need to demonstrate against the board? Interested in people's thoughts on here as all of the other fans I have spoken to seem to concur.

Demonstrate to achieve what ajrhammer? If the board are truly milking the club and don't care about it, they won't give a damn about fan protests, if they do love the club and we protest, we as fans could be doing ourselves a disservice. Remember that these two owners saved our club from spiralling into the abyss like Leeds and Portsmouth did after the Icelandics almost ruined our club. It's because the icelandics conduxted stupid business deals and paid wages over the odds that the club found itself in financial difficulty. Perhaps DGS haven't spent a fortune and perhaps they will sell the club at a later date but they will leave it in a financially sound state. Fans are fickle, when things are going well we love our board, when they are not we hate the board. In the 7 years DGS have owned the club we were relegated once and that wasn't their fault.

COYI64 - demonstrate to show dissatisfaction and make our voices heard pal. DGS are clearly deluded and have no idea of the majority of fan's feelings at present - if they did then they would have acted if they cared. I don't see how you can think they do care - actions louder than words and all that, but obv you're entitled to your opinion. Yes, they did save us from potentially dropping down the leagues, but how long are they going to use that as a saving grace? At the end of the day they are businessmen and football is now a business - they're there to make money and that's it. They can claim they don't want the club to go down because they "love the club" - PISH! its all about the value of the club to them and what they can fleece it more - 10 times more if we're in the prem. their lack of investment, after selling the idea of the OS as a way of freeing up more spending money from revenue, as well as the souring money received for being in the PL, doesn't make sense. actually, it does, they're just tighter than a nun's v@g.
