I don't think there is a mass boycott mentality - To stop buying as a means of protest or coercion is called a boycott and that is what people on here are saying, especially all those who say they wont be back until JC has gone.
You are presuming the board are attempting to bolster the team with short term signings but is there any confirmation of this course of action from the board - no. - I take pleasure in informing you that I am not presuming anything regarding this.
Likewise fans have been calling for Coyles to be put on gardening leave, the scaremongers are stating we would lose DR and the players who are in the "Coyles mafia" well a bit of a Brexit moment - who knows but would we any worse off. - Without the Widnes connection we would have struggled to field 13 fit players at some points over the past 2 seasons. Who would have played at FB last week without Ince enabling Burns being able to play there? Have resluts picked up since GB came into the club...NO, so to put JC on leave are we guaranteeing positive results? or do we then go to the expense of paying for two head coaches? For me JC should walk, but thats for him to determine.
We have half a team of players who aren't performing or don't want to perform, it looks like their only incentive is to go through the motions and pick up appearance / losing pay and move on. - We have some poor players however most of them seem to put in 100% effort, its just not enough to get over their lack of ability and seems to ruin their composure
The board, as well as the players, need to turn up and let the people who have supported this club for many years know exaclty what the situation is and then but only maybe the stay always will return. - The situation seems fairly clear to me, the BoD have decided to carry on as normal as there is no certainty that a change will provide anything better, as lets rememeber, the coach doesn't miss tackles, drop balls, throw stupid passes, consistently take the wrong option, mouth off at the officials, lack require fitness, etc... Yes some of these things the coach should have changed a long time ago (and that has led to his downfall) but once them players cross the line its up to them. Also JC for most of the season has been down to bare bones, meaning not a lot of room to change players around.
