If you contact Peter Risdale he will talk to you. So go and see him. Stop calling him names, hiding behind your keyboards.

Peter Ridsdale would probably run rings around most of us on here if he got us one to one.
It doesn’t mean we can’t have a view on how is input has impacted on OUR club

The fans around me don’t have a clue who half our signings are when they come in and still think our left back is called Alvarez and can’t differentiate between Woodman, Whiteman and Woodburn

What makes you think that would ever be organised into a protest

To happily put up with the clown show at Deepdale you kinda have to be a bit thick. Or perversely enjoy the pain and suffering.

Some fans saw us sign Thomas, Wickham, Izzy, Olosunde & Murphy in 2021 and actually thought the club were trying for promotion.

Some even wanted Izzy to get another deal for this season. Based on some nice tweets whilst Izzy was enjoying some recreational time.

It'll take relegation for it to dawn on another portion of fans that the ownership don't have any interest in funding a successful football team.

We will end up like Bradford. Proudly sat in the lower leagues. With some dumbass fans still sat telling others to contact Peter if they aren't enjoying it.

We are proud Preston. Proud of failure. Proud to doff our caps to a billionaire family, for grounding any hope we had of success. But, we've got peter's email address so it's all ok.

The thing that disturbs me above all else is that I can’t see a viable exit strategy. Maybe they are holding out for the £30m but it’s not going to happen. Maybe in reality they’d accept a lot less than that.

The pessimist in me suggests that they actually want us to be in League 1 where the P&S rules restrict player wages to 80% in year one and 70% thereafter. Hence, we’d probably break even as a middling League 1 outfit. Coat neutral and problem solved fro their perspective financially. Certainly that’s the option I’d be taking if I didn’t care about football or PNE and I wanted to stem the financial bleeding. Reckon that’s where we’re heading personally.

I think Plan A is what we're seeing - keep slashing the wage bill every summer, keep cutting costs, stay in the Championship (which is the difficult bit), so we keep our Director on the EFL Board (he assures us this serves some purpose), and hope the new 75:25 Prem distribution model comes in sooner (unlikely) rather than later (more likely), if ever (still possible it doesn't).

But that Plan isn't going to keep working indefinitely, so Plan B (Inevitability B) is relegation, massive slashing of costs like last time, and years of being a lower-league club - I agree they'd like that in many ways, compared to the current situation.

We only got out of there last time when TH reopened the purse-strings, so assuming that doesn't happen this time around, I think we'd adopt a position in L1 equivalent to our position in the Championship - mid-table, happy with safety, but "committed" to promotion, should all the stars align etc.

The only positive I can see from relegation is the owners would have to drop their asking price for the club.

Demonstrations happened in the past James.
For the record I get mixed up woodman & woodburn names & I call him Alvarez but it’s a age thing with me .
But it doesn't mean we no less than you . It’s just we have more to remember than you about north ends past 😄😄
The few good times & mostly a hell of a lot of shit times.
But one shit year is worth 9 shit years 🤣🤣

Did a poll on my Twitter. Currently has 383 votes.

Consensus seems to be no to a protest.

Not saying I would disagree with a protest, made the poll mainly to see what a vast majority would think.

If people don't know the terms / actions of any Protest -

It ain't likely they would join that Protest.
