I normally don't post on this thread but this one crossed aline for me. Someone on there on saturday wrote that Bowyer should be sacked this week, and if he wasn't 'the fans should destroy Sandgaard'. Not the fault of the Forum, but a pretty moronic statement given we wouldn't have a club at all now if Sandgaard hadn't arrived. An ex poster from here liked the post.
Shockin, juss shockin.
 
To be fair, the poster who used the term "destroy" meant it in the modern slang fashion.

To "destroy" someobody on social media apparently means to strongly disagree with them, make it clear they are in the wrong, protest (etc.)
Not actually to harm them.

Kids today eh? :rolleyes:
 
I'll take your point, but it seems a pretty extreme reaction to an owner who saved us from almost certain extiction less than ten months ago, with his own cash. The football this year has been dire, but are we already reduced to this level of anger.As a point of comparison, Duchatalet had rid himself of Chris Powell by this stage of his ownership after a dismal set of performances, but which it turned out were also being helped along by some 'must start' signings like that useless keeper we were forced to give employment to. Jose Riga then ground us clear of relegation at the end of the season and got rewarded with a non renewall of contract.
The problem is that Bowyer does seem to have lost the players - tw@ts - so maybe we do need some fresh blood. But 'destroy'?

Big difference was that Powell should have been removed by the previous owners and the team was already on a downward spiral and heading for relegation .... Bowyer kept the club going despite the chaos going on behind him and let’s not forget we only got relegated by not scoring one extra goal that’s all we needed ... then unlike Hull we lost most of our squad , here would we be if we kept our players like they did most likey top 2 .. but it was not the case in fact our squad rebuilding was rushed and restricted no fault of LB or TS and even now we are still playing catch up with the rest of this league .... end of season can’t come quick enough for LB and TS when the work really starts with a proper pre season ......I expect LB to be in charge in Aug , the only time he will feel pressure will be around Xmas next season if we are not safely in the top 4 ...

Hello mate, did you used to post on ITTV? As Reamsy is giving you a bit of stick.
 
No it’s on the “season over but where will we finish “ thread page 3-4

Got it. The great man's posts fdrom the weekend seem to have been edited out, even in the quoting. Wonder what he said?

Also, who quit and defected to 606 along with Dick, or shoutd we call him The Pied Piper?

That was probably me. Nick wrongly said that I left because of the anti-Bowyer stance. I left because of the anti-Sandgaard stance.
 
Hey @The Elfsborg Sparrow Reams has just posted that he wants Wigan to beat us, if it means Sandgaard will "pull the trigger" sooner and fire Bowyer.

How often were you (and other protesters against Roland) accused of wanting to hurt the Club as long as it meant you got what you wanted?
Looks like that boot is on the other foot now.

Ivor has a short and selective memory.
