I've sat back and read 3 days of arguing and heated discussion about what action to take...some against the club, some against the manager....let's boil it all down.

Cooper - let's remember a couple of things! This guy is a rookie manager..and a promising one at that. Players speak highly of him ( which is unusual when things are goi belly up) and I remember there was a spell last season where he had us playing some great football. I remember the cup game against Rotherham... Yes we got beat but we played superbly and that continued for a few games into the league. For whatever reason this hasn't kicked on yet this year (coming to that....) but you can see he wants to do things right.

Let's be honest, in all of our first / second / third jobs...who hasn't dropped a bollock or two. He is doing his best in very difficult circumstances whilst being an absolute pro at the same time. I am desperate for my club to do well and stay up...but sacking cooper is not the answer; just like sacking John Hughes before him was not the answer. Micky Barron and Dan Lewis on Twitter ydah were as good as saying how bad it was that cooper was carrying the can as he is very good and is working extremely hard against the tide to make things work.

It hasn't worked due to players...lack of them and poor quality. Ok, some of coopers signings have been duds, however with little money who wouldn't go first to people they know as opposed to taking a gamble. Bates, parnabay, harewood and the like are the types u have to gamble on....some times they work aka Watson, gabbiadini...sometimes they don't ..Howard. Bit these are players who have played higher and you would have hoped they'd have done better....unfortunately they haven't.

There is one position of blame....IOR!! Stop giving the players and managers stick...let's all focus on the board and Ken. As long as he is in charge of our club we will go down.

We start on Saturday with chants against Ken and IOR..I,m amazed I,ve never heard one. We do this before, after and at half time....whilst the team are on the pitch we give them all the support they need.

The game after, it's outside the ground...Clarence road end alongside the boxes....that will get media attention.

After that....a walkout

And then a no show!

Peak too early and then where do we go?! IOR need a successful reputation in their line of work....only negative publicity will bring change!

If IOR go and leave us in a mess..so what?! We will have our club back and we will come again....nobody is bigger than the club; IOR and ken are mere custodians!

Sorry..rant over!!!!

Amen brother Bob

I'm with you on that, that is one of ( if not ) the best suggestion to date.

Very good post Sir....

So there's no need for me to stage my one man walk out protest at 19:08 on Saturday now?

Best idea yet. Progressively intensify the protests. Good plan my man.

Or you could have a whip-round and drive through the front doors in a Peugeot with a one off offer

i agree with you wholeheartedly bob, colin cooper was not the problem!! the lack of investment and support 'not just this season but for many seasons past' has been the problem, very little support will be better than no support at all. who or what company is going to come in and save pools from this? I don't hear of any investors lining up to take over with big fat cheque books. Fan owed club could be the only option but has pools got a big enough fan base for that to work... im not sure. I hate it when people say sick with what we have because there isn't anything beret but in this case is true. Be careful what you wish for. .

How do you know Colin Cooper wasnt the problem?

You dont.

Someone might come in and get us up a few places, and get the team safe.

They might not.

But no one knows.

Its stupid to say it defo wanst the manager. His record is laughable.

Tell IOR to go and then plan B ??????

Which is ???????

Idiots

No need.

What exactly in your superior opinion, are IOR doing right then?
