lou Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I really don't think protests or emails to Ann or going to make the slightest bit of difference, I think FOH should ask for a meeting to discuss our predicament on behalf of the supporters, surely they have a voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Yup. Culpable through inaction. Make the call and get in someone who can do the job.

If Levein was a manager when she had her IT business and performing in a similar way he would have been sacked for gross misconduct a long time ago.

18Jambo_dave74 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 She is absolutely culpable. She appointed Cathro and Levein and both have been failures. She gave Cathro the summer before sacking him after 4 league cup games. She then took a month to decide that the next manager was someone already at the club. She is now repeating that mistake - Levein should have been gone in the summer and now, at best, we’re going to be looking for a new manager a couple of months in to the season. It couldn’t be made much clearer to her today what the fans want. The empty seats should be another hint for her. The club is totally soft. An owner that won’t sack a failing manager, a manager that won’t drop a failing captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
