How much would it raise if we all say doubled our contribution for one month, with the message thats it's to be put towards getting rid off the current setup. Better than stopping it?

The White Cockade Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 With all the criticism of Levein by fans and media normally Mrs B would have stepped in by now to say Craig is doing a good job Maybe the fact nothing has been said is significant? As for the protests I agree CL is well past his sell by date and should go but the protests are being hijacked by the Budge Out Sash Singers and i’d have nothing to do with them We need to stay behind the team particularly this weekend or the whole season could be ruined new manager or not as the players will be sickened by continual abuse its time to show we support the club whatever the feelings are about the manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartley10 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I must admit when I was stood at the back of the protest I thought to myself 'oofftt this will do it'. Then when certain songs were being sung I thought Budge might just be away aswell. How wrong was I and I don't want Budge out, just Levein and his 'expertise' in the football department. And his cronies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players want to turn in the kind of performances we’ve seen against Ross County, Celtic, Hamilton and Motherwell (not forgetting the League Cup group games) then they can expect the people paying their wages to let them know about it. They’re more than welcome to find a club with a fan base happy to be propping up the rest of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadjambo Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Budge had been incredibly naive and has placed far too much trust in Levein. Had I been in the same position I would likely have brought Levein on board as DoF too. It was a logical choice. But I’d have kept him on a very short leash. I suspect Budge has no idea how to resolve the current situation, and am beginning to wonder who actually runs the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
