The Real Madrid Model

When their fans have had enough of a manager, they all wave white hankies at him-and, usually, the people in power at Real listen, but so would you if you saw 80'000 odd hankies fluttering throughout the crowd and your position was dependable on the votes of the supporters, as it is with the President of Spanish clubs-they have to listen to the voice of the fans else they're out!

Shame we can't have a simialr democratic process here!

I guess paper Kleenex fluttering all over Carrow Road might make for extra work for the groundstaff, but, in all seriousness, I am at a loss as to how the situation will change.

He will NOT resign. And, if anything, the more vocal people get, the more stubborn the Board become-they don't want to be seen to giving into the demands of fans in much the same way as Bush says he won't give in to terrorism! They are hardline Worthington and, short of mass protests and demostrations -and I don't even think that would work-things will pretty much stay the same.

What is particularly annoying is the fact that we are all so "wonderful" and "the best fans in the world" when our support and money is needed, yet, right here, right now, when the chips are down, we may as well not exist. I hope they take this into account the next time a whipround is needed, and, the way we are throwing money away at the moment, it won't be long, especiually after we lose the parachute money.
