What if Yan trys blackmail or Red or Dead again

[Barry Dragon]

Could be the topic. Either accept the red or see the club fold.

I hope any attempt at blackmail would not be given into this time around and we hold fast until we get blue.

Or administration

[saganspirit]

We're in a stronger position this time - i.e. no chance of promotion...

My message to the forty is don't be bullied and don't fall for red or dead. If we stay red, the club will probably be dead anyway.

The red or dead scenario is still very much a card to be played, and people will still be scared of that prospect.

Club is dead to me in red so makes no difference to me. Blue all day, every day.

Are we?

It was a shit joke...

40 people in a room are not all going to agree with this scenario.

[Bluemellons]

We tried red after the threats of death and to be totally honest I would rather consider death than continue with red.
This rebrand period has been less enjoyable for me than ANY relegation to div 4.
Its no fun any more.

That may limit protests but is not a convincing argument for people to renew. Unless he can persuade the fans they must attend and enjoy it to save the club. I think many more people will just walk next season if threatened that way.

Doesn't scare me at all. Better dead than red now.

I have a slightly different view. I think we're getting to the stage where it's BLUE or dead.

be a disaster for the same major reason crowds are falling - the football is sh!t.

**** financial hardship. The club is on its knees. There is more to football than a healthy bank balance.

In fact, call his bluff and let him know we as fans will welcome administration as it gives us a chance to start again in blue not beholden to one individual

[Gofer Blue]

If the ST prices go up significantly then the kit colour will be of academic interest only, to me at least. I won't be renewing for the first time in more years than I care to remember!

[goslow]

Better dead than red.

There will be no ultimatums from the club at Thursdays meeting - surely?

Maybe some clarifications. Hopefully no attempts as scam / blackmail as we will be wary and they will be OBVIOUS.

reading this:

"The purpose of the consultation meeting is to give supporters an opportunity to openly share their views on a number of topics in relation the Club.
"We care about our fans and their views are important to us."

..as far as I can deduce, Mehmet and Choo are expecting to be there to listen in the main, and then to feed back to .. Tan?

I cannot see how to interpret the press releases in any other way.

However, if that is so, it is the clubs response after the meeting that will be the telling one.

[beef]

He wants out, I reckon he could well offer "red or no more money from me" like last time. Mind you, we've not really had any money from him anyway...

There would be a massive improvement in unity at least.

I don't give a flying **** about the big lenders ie Tan's company though in what they may be owed.

Didn't see this thread. oops

I firmly believe that the without a return to blue, crowds will continue to nosedive and the season ticket office is going to resemble the Marie Celeste, no matter who agrees to what in that room.

Dwindling crowds, non existent merchandise sales, no decent players or managers wanting to come anywhere near the place and the very real prospect of under 10k season tickets being sold.

Indeed. And the club shop would be better off selling off space to the Post Office.
