+1. Protests and a torrent of abuse must start and we fans must register our disapproval. The more this happens the more attention will come from the press and the more Fox and Lerner's credibility will be dented. Fox genuinely believes that he is building something special at the club but he has made so many bad decisions (Sherwood, Riley, Garde when Moyes was available) that the our club is bottom of the league and completely unable to reverse that. His delusions need to be shattered and some of his bullshit needs to be plastered on banners. I can see banners with his face on it saying we're building something special here or its easy to look at the table. My personal favourite idea is one saying "is relegation a false narrative Mr Fox?"

For the first time this season I am genuinely unhappy to be on the other side of the world as I would love to be over there to protest against these clowns.

Fox needs to be made to feeling fucking uncomfortable, with people in the Directors Box giving him grief as well. He can then get his right hand man, Riley, to explain to him what it means.

Signed.

To raise awareness of this petition, has anybody who uses twitter told Stan Collymore about this? Love him or loathe him, he would probably talk about this petition if somebody tweeted or called him about it, even if he doesn't fully endorse it. Then again, after his recent fall-out with the club hierarchy, he may endorse it altogether! In other words, any publicity is good publicity for this petition as a form of protest at the moment.

Think Stan would be a very valuable ally for any protest or anti-Lerner movement as he has been actively calling for us to protest and is standing up when some from the official supporter groups have been completely supine.

Something has to be done it is no good sitting on our hands I am shocked by the amount of people just accepting our fate. We are sleepwalking into the championship.
I know it is hard to organise protests on such a large scale but we need to make our voices heard.
I for one am willing to try anything to help get our message across to randy learner that we will not take any more.

When the giant flag is passed across the Holte, it needs another one chucked on top with LERNER OUT on it.

By sheer coincidence (or bad luck on part) Randy Lerner will be at the Crystal Palace match - so some geezer on WM said last night.

If this is true, then can almost guarantee the new chairman will be announced this week or by next Monday!!

By the way....I think the club should adopt this new tune for when the players come out for the game. If not, then I honestly feel the Holte End choir need to nail it....would there be a better way to show the club and the world (via tv) how we feel about the way the club is being run?

Come on you Holtenders in the Sky.......let's be havin'you!!!

Anyone else hoping Lerner is appearing to sacrificially throw himself off the top of the Trinity Road stand to appease the footballing Gods?

Just me?

And if anyone can find 57 of them there's probably a reason why they're still virgins.

Fuck diseases, as long as 1 out 114 says YES and Lerner becomes extinct, who gives a fuck!
