Well, that's certainly an effective way to protest against O'Neill, as he'll have no club to run. Unfortunately, we'll also have no club to watch. Yep, pretty effective, Davo. :rolleyes:

Lets be honest
the only benefit of signing andy parkinson is his experience, the guy leaves alot to be desired. Very much a journeyman.
Lets hope he finds a new lease of life under JC.

if this is the kind of signing we are able to attract, then 22nd place would be the equivelent of getting promotion.
This also points to the bigger picture - pay peanuts, you get monkeys. We have a chairman/owner who has gone on record saying he wont invest in the club. Thus, we will never be able to attract a better standard of player.
Of course we will be hoping JC picks up some rough diamonds, but we cant rely on JC's eye for talent alone, some proven quality would be welcome.
If coleman has not picked up any hidden gems, then it will be one long season.

Perhaps it's a bit hypocritical of me to wade in here, as I don't get to may matches these days, but to me a boycott is what you do if your club is run by crooks (Chester) and there's no other way to get them out (it's ok mods, Vaughan was convicted). As far as I can tell, DO'N is merely out of his depth and as it's pretty obvious that he can't make money out of Stanley, boycotting isn't going to make much difference to him except perhaps in status. It will, however, make a great difference to those who work for the club (many of whom could then lose their jobs) and to those who care about the club's continuing survival at football league level, or perhaps at any level.

If you choose not to go to matches, fair enough. It's your money and you can spend it where and how you like. A fair few posters on here don't go to games for various reasons. For my part I live too far away and am involved in football here on matchdays. However, please don't make the mistake of thinking that your "boycott" is a remotely effective way of punishing O'Neill or that the club won't suffer disproportionately as a result.

And on that note, I should probably check whether my mum and dad have renewed their season tickets.

Back to topic, I wish all the new signings the best of luck. Journeyman or not, in a young squad I think that Parkinson's experience could be invaluable at the tougher end of the season. Now all we need is for that embargo to be lifted. (Next week?).

The biggest message u could send o'neill is an empty stadium. Just like the glazers and hicks .& gillette, verbal chants, protests, banners and emailing and phoning their businesses each and every day has had no effect.

Listen to the words of James of S0S 'the biggest stumbling block to removing the owners are the fans who continue to purchase merchandise, LFC tv subscriptions and attend home games'.

Its all about money and status with these men, an empty stadium with no cash coming in will send the clearest message.

Believe me, Chimer, myself and a few others on here have had first hand experience of an empty stadium with no cash coming in and we know that it means just one thing...a defunct football club. :(
