Why I won't be joining the march
Whilst I would like Nigel Worthington to depart our football club as soon as possible I won't be joining the march on Saturday. One reason is that not being a pimply teenager desperate to get my picture on "Look East" I really wouldn't fit in. But mainly it is because the behaviour of the "Worthy out" mob is really no more rational than the "keep the faithers'". The latter refuse to offer any sensible explanation as to why the manager should stay, the former's view of the state of the football club is driven by the last result. Bad result at Palace - PROTEST! Good results ( albeit from patchy performances) against Leeds and Sheffield - NO PROTEST! Bad result at Burnley - PROTEST!
All very odd really because even when we were picking up those 7 points the same old problems were there for all to see. Players playing (struggling) out of position, our only tactic hoofing the ball towards a forward who left the club 2 years ago, no encouragement of youth, the transfer merry go-round spinning as merrily as ever, and so on and so on. No doubt a one goal defeat against Leicester and the clamour will increase, a one goal win and all will go silent until after the thrashing at Preston. But win lose or draw on Saturday it's all irrelevant - the truth is that with the current manager pursuing his current policies we are likelier to go down next season than up.
Please note: any protesters wearing nurses' uniforms should be singled out for special abuse.

Disappointing.
Firstly, how you blatently label everyone attending the march as "pimply teenager desperate to get my picture on "Look East" which can be categorically denied by just looking at the pictures from the previous march.
Secondly, while you suggest that the Worthy Out group has lost credibility by organising no protest against Sheffield Utd, I suggest that had they have organised such a protest, people like yourself would probably have taken the opposite viewpoint, suggesting that we aren't getting behind the team at a time where we had the opportunity to reach the play offs. A glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark season.
Credibility or not, you at least admit Worthington needs to leave. But frankly, that won't happen unless we equivocably inform the board of directors that this isn't good enough; and refusing to turn upto the march simply on a matter of "they didn't protest for one game, shock horror" indicates that you have lost sight of the objective at hand.
Compliments on the otherwise entertaining and forthright blog - been an interesting read.

"People like yourself would probably have taken the opposite viewpoint"
Incorrect. But then since you have precisely no idea what sort of people I am like your ignorance of my viewpoint is perhaps understandable.
