    But how will it be possible for anyone to know the reasons for non attendance?
    Were our low gates in the 1990s due to people' s angry boycott?

    An empty seat is an empty seat. It doesn't have a sign on it that says '"This seat would be occupied by someone who attends every game but because of the owners' policies, they are not at this game."

    They have records of all the season pass holders since the KC began and they'll see how many of those people don't buy a membership.

    That's a very clear message. No?

    But they don't have reasons for attendance and non attendance.

    Do you mean they won't understand?

    Well I suppose they might be that dumb. In fact I've no reason to think otherwise.

    The Allams don't give a ****.

    Nor is it true that ticket sales are a significant proportion of our revenue in the Championship, at least in the short term, next season's parachute money is £47m (similar to the amount that we got for our first Premier League season).

    Numbers will drop next season, but nowhere near enough to change anything.

    Don't businessman think in the long term? Five year forecasts and all that?

    I think numbers will drop dramatically.

    I'm not convinced Ehab thinks at all.

    If he does, he's ****ing useless at it.

    There's sense in what he says to be honest. The players didn't perform when it mattered... but you dig a little bit deeper and you see why that could have been.

    Did we need better personnel in?
    Were they playing out of position due to lack of options?
    Did the number of players brought in in January effect our team chemistry?
    Did the loan players care enough?

    It still goes back to mismanagement from the top.

    I would not be surprised if the HDM had someone who writes these articles and then sticks Deano's name on for a fee.

    His 'joke' was that I often don't understand him either

    It wasn't the last 3 games that got us relegated it was the period before Marco came in. The squad was totally inadequete to have a chance of surviving, and Marco got us closer to the end of the season before it happened that I thought.
