Obviously CO already has the season ticket money but if all pay on the day fans didn't go and instead paid the price of the ticket into the TUST then CO has to make up this money out of his own pocket. After a while he may have to think long and hard about what he does next as he will be losing a lot more money on a regular basis. The club is still going tits up so may as well watch it going tits up from afar and give your £15 quid ticket money to the TUST instead where it may be of more benefit.

Stop buying merchandise and food and basically cut off all monetary supply lines.

This actually could be a viable strategy to force CO into making a decision about the club. The only strategy in fact.

By attending games you are making it easier for CO to pass the time. If he is still going to pass the time running the club under then at least make it cost a bit more FGS! Attending is doing absolutely nothing and has done absolutely nothing under CO's ownership other than help him pay the bills.

Comments are fine but the way you have just put that accross with those claps shows what a moron you are

Horrific challenge and deserved

Barnun-Bobb a disgrace and should be fined

Better than Higgins do me a favour

Regardless of whether you are in the yes or no camp it’s worth remembering that we weren’t forced not a quick appointment due to KNs sudden departure . It took 4 weeks to end up where we are now with a management duo whose record so far is underwhelming to say the least.
I wasn’t at today’s game s cannot comment on whether our shape was good, our fitness improved , and desire to win evident.
But on what I saw on Tuesday and from today’s reports this will be our greatest ever escape if we can turn this around.

Now the fact he doesn't play on 3G and he so frequently goes missing when injured or fails to recover from matches sufficiently, tells a tale.

He's 34 this week and it looks like it too!

I like his style of distribution but his seeming reluctance to stick his head in there and increasing tendency to be second to balls dropped into the near post and in the air is an easily spotted weakness that opponents appear to be aware of ~ hence the arrival of Davey (I think).

I think Efete could be a 'beast' at this level and McGinty could and should perform to much higher technical standard than was apparent under the last management and is slowly evolving now and if he does then there is a potentially 'saleable' asset there.

So fingers crossed that Efete and Davey can stay to the season's end and that some consistency and progress can be made with has the makings of a potentially very good defence regarding suitability for this league

Only seven points from safety and the team immediately above the bottom four is Leyton Orient so a big game on Saturday. Incidentally they had a player sent off tonight.

Southampton Gull wrote: ↑21 Nov 2017, 15:12 That's actually a ridiculous thing to say. Any player in possession should be under pressure, nature of the game.

Plainmoor78 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2017, 12:26 The thing is many people regard seeking/accepting help as an admission that they are out of their depth. Steve Perryman used to help out at Exeter city and if my non-functioning brain serves me correctly none of the managers he helped out lasted that long.
The way this has been publicised, assuming it is genuine, can only be seen to further undermine the manager because it is frankly disrespectful. In effect Sturruck is saying to Owers in public "I can do your job better than you can".

merse btpir wrote: ↑20 Nov 2017, 22:26 Whilst input from such a person (as the real) Paul Sturrock would be invaluable, it should be done on a man to man basis and not via social media.

If (the real) Paul Sturrock wanted to contact Owers and Kuhl he must surely have their details amongst his multiple contacts; or if he hasn't..... then why?
