we'll agree to disagree then.....

it seems our two stumbling blocks are:

1 - i think the board want to get through this without selling, you think they want to go right now with the right investor (meaning, "as long as he coughs up enough!) buying them out.

2 - i think the fans have a right to express their displeasure AFTER the game (or depending on how bad things get DURING a game, have a go at the board only) - you appear to think any form of petition/protest is purely for the fans own ego.
