Good stuff, It'll give the Burger Boy something to do as well, with planning a response, now that Sparrows Lane is on "hold"

We should be careful that Burger Boy doesn't get overloaded. He's already preparing the annual accounts, drawing up a prioritised list of transfer targets, working with police to victimise protesters, planning next seasons menus and taking training tomorrow morning. There's no one else here to do those things.

He’s also preparing his ‘stop’n’search’ plan for the Easter protests.

If Murray has been spun a line by Belgium then he needs to tell us that. He’s surely got the balls to ring Roland and demand straight answers. If he hasn’t or doesn’t get them then he should tell us exactly that and walk. I for one would at least give him credit for that.

Regarding him walking, it would be a good principled stance, but I think there's a very strong counter argument to be made that if he walks the day-to-day functions might start to implode. Those with greater knowledge of how the club is currently being run can disagree or shed more light, but it feels like Murray is doing the jobs of two or three people and if he left things within the club might start to unravel.

Obviously things aren't good now, and Murray doesn't come out of this as a good guy, but I do think things can get worse.

Murray's away, according to Robinson this morning. Realistically, he isn't doing one job, never mind three. He's just someone on the end of a phone for the remaining senior staff and a link to Duchatelet. He isn't running the club.

OK fair, I withdraw my comments.

How much more implosion can there possibly be ? No CEO, No CFO, A manager and team underperforming and demanding answers. An owner who knows less about CAFC than your average Millwall fan.

I think it’s getting to the point of complete collapse.

I'm quite superstitious about some things, and one of them is never ask "how can it get worse?" It can get worse. It can always get worse.

But yeah if Murray isn't doing much he's welcome to walk as a principled stance. But by the sounds of things it won't make much difference. It sounds like the Trump Cabinet conundrum, do you stay in the hopes that you can influence things, even at the margins, or do you leave and tell the world your story?

Seeing as it’s Easter, can we cart around a huge casket through the streets, like they do in Spanish towns and cities, The casket would need to be full of sacred relics, I’m sure Henners could loan us the ball that burst in the cup final etc.

Haven't got a casket but got a sofa if that's any good.

Gives me a reason to break my boycott.

Lets hope those who are cheesed off with the demos and CARD don't turn up could all get a bit messy.

What? Both of them?

Those vol-au-vants en alf stain you know ;-)

What a sad state of affairs when we have so called fans that are now motivated to go to the ground to demonstrate rather than support the team. Lets hope those who are cheesed off with the demos and CARD don't turn up could all get a bit messy.

Exactly, don't want fellow fans pouring the contents of their thermos flasks over each other! Although the team does seem to perform better when there are protests...

@CARD Just an observation; I know his new hotel at Blavier Farm is due for completion in May, but it was still very much a building site just a few weeks back and I would be gobsmacked if it opens on schedule. Might be a better option to organise a major sit-in in one of Duchâtelet's restaurants at Stayen.

He wouldn't like that

Shit in might be more effective ;0)

Well done CARD. I'll be there in spirit.

A dance-in could be organised.

Think there might be more than two.
