Could have been better but not a bad show up, tbh. We need more too to get this lot out.

Much better than the last one, but it's still missing something. It's certainly nowhere near the levels you see from fans abroad.

Or Utd. They took the pitch, if I remember correctly, didn’t they?

I thought the protest was good. Thanks to everyone that showed up but we need heck of a lot more

Credit to those who were a part of the protest. Being from Australia, I can only show my support from abroad.

I was reading the BBC sport match report, and they said "the protest movement has largely been driven by younger supporters". Does this ring true for those who were there?

Complete bo**ocks to discredit it again.

The Daily Mail said that the Met police claimed there was around 500 on the protest, BUT this was disputed bt the reporter saying it looked a lot more atound 1000

Cancer that needs to be gotten rid off..

I would like to say thanks to everyone of you who turned up at protest against our clowns, I wish I could of been there, I cannot see a way out of this ever, I feel so dejected about our club, even in the 70's it was run better, I hanged on for hope AND PRAYERS which came in the 1st blue ANGEL RAY WILKINS, and then our 2nd in MATTHEW HARDING! then THE BLUE GOD TURNED UP! and brought along and ARMY OF BLUE ANGELS from JM AC DON CARLO, RDM TT even SARI won even our INTERIMS WON SOMETHING rafa gus , and for my first year I bounced in STOCKWELL, when walking of winning our FIRST EVER MAJOR, and now these cxxts have destroyed everything and I will go to my grave on such a low, SO MAYBE A SORT OF WEST HAM PROTEST in the kin stadium TO sh*t THE KIN LIFE OUT OF THEM, AND SHOW THEM THE WHIRLWIND OF THE BLUE DEVIL, no violence what's so ever!

More protests planned.

As grim as things are at the moment, it's great to see how united the fans are on this now, and also great to see how the walls are closing in on them from ex players, pundits and the media as well. These people understand money and bad publicity and they're creating a money pit while everyone tells them you're doing a terrible job, hopefully this does legitimately lead to a change in direction, but we'll see in the summer .

You don’t become a billionaire, as the main players behind our ownership are, without sh*tting on people, and developing rhino skin.

Noble intentions, however the protests can continue till hell freezes over and it’ll make f**k all difference.

No. You can tell by Egbhalis comments just the day before the protest that it matters.

Besides, if you do nothing you are 100% guaranteed nothing changes. If you do something - who knows

I'd be livid if I was a Clearlake investor. They seem to be an absolute shambles of a company with seriously poor decision-making, and I can only think that any successes they have had in other operations must be down to blind good luck.

Billionaires are generally the most fragile skinned people you will ever meet in your life. They sh*t on people because they have thin skins. They would rather pay off politicians and subvert functional society than face criticism. It is why they invest in suppressing protest and unionisation across the world, because reputation is the one thing that money can't easily buy. American tech venture capitalists are an even more hypersensitive subset of the above.

If you look up their history, their strategy is essentially riding the luck of being in the right place at the right time. They buy 'distressed' assets. They were one of the PE vultures that bought up cheap & failing companies during the GFC then sold them at a profit at the first sign of upturn. In other words, they profited off the back of the American taxpayer bailouts.

They don't have a demonstrated history of 'new strategy' bringing up a firm as they claim to be doing with football.

Most of the successful investors I've grown to know have two traits in common: luck and a lack of fear. I'm too scared of losing my money, these guys often doesnt overthink but just goes all in on "market opportunites". A lot of them fail, some are wildly successful. What it doesn't do, is make them fit and able to run a football club or any other enterprise for that matter

Can’t wait to see Rosenior joining the next one.

If I didn’t love them I’d hate them.

Next protest announced for FA cup final day.

Against Spurs there is a plan for the fan base to turn their back in the 22nd minute and chant "we want our chelsea back"

That really should be "blueco out" imo

I am not even totally sure that the BlueCo Out slogan really hits the right mark.

For much of the Clearlake investment base I would imagine that the trade name of BlueCo means very little.

Clearlake Out getting social media and national news coverage would surely damage the image more than some made up trading vehicle name to cover up this money laundering pyramid scheme.
