AP must realise that every week that goes by having Radders, is knocking hundreds of our core support.
If he can't afford to sack him then we really are in trouble and its no good appealing to the faithful anymore because that cash cow has been milked dry.
Faithfulness works both ways
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

I didn't do it for anyone other than myself, as I said in the opening post, sign it/don't sign it, it's seriously no skin off my nose one way or the other. I just happened to be up in the wee small hours and needed a diversion for 10 minutes or so, 2 signatures was a success in my eyes (about the same level it would seem apparent some are happy with our clubs performances ) Has Pearson read it, I don't actually care about that either, the contempt he's shown toward not only the club but to the fans it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he hadn't, even if he had I hardly think it would bother him if it was 85, 850 or 8,500 signatories.
It's my small way of making my feelings known because I'm not happy, have you got off your arris and done anything or are you another with nothing better to do than infest fora with your inane drivel or even worse you just don't care that our club is going down quicker than a lead balloon?

Out of interest, and you've mentioned this a few times now, who are the people who are 'happy with our clubs performances'?

Won't be signing the petition as I don't think that will have any effect, but I do want Radford to go and fair play for trying something, even if I don't agree with the method.
What does surprise me is the amount of flack from some, in particular picking out spelling and grammar mistakes. Seems a little sad to me.
You don't have to agree with the petition, and entitled to openly say so, but any more than that just sounds bitter.
You often find the people that spend all day criticising and picking holes in others are actually the ones that shout the loudest but never do anything about it. The guy who rallies the troops in to battle, then hides at the back.
Happy for anyone to pick holes in my grammar, might help me sleep better.
If it makes you happy it can't be that bad - Sheryl Crow 1996.

If you are going to the trouble of starting an online petition you should at least try to use good English, just as you would if applying for a job, for example.

Exactly. It's a public statement which is aimed at garnering support and ultimately making a difference. I don't disagree with the methodology, petitions can make a difference, but how can anyone expect this one to be taken seriously when the statement is so badly written? Not just the grammar or punctuation, but the rhetoric, the tone, the points that are badly made.
The poster who made it has been writing the same level of claptrap on here for months and rarely has anyone agreeing with him.
