This is only a game, and the implication that people plan to send excrement to someone's house is over the top, cruel and illegal.
You may find Gus arrogant, incompetent and failing in many areas, but he's not evil and no-deserves fans coming round their house and affecting their family.
The place to protest is at the ground.

| I think almost everyone with any interest in the club, either directly or indirectly, is convinced of Gus Mackay's gross incompetence and inadequacy for the role he is/has been employed for.
What you probably have to have some direct experience of is the self-serving and borderline evil lies he'll tell to suit himself regardless of the damage he does to others.
You see a bit of it in the flat out lies he talks to places like the BBC in order to promote himself.
But he's demonstrated some real evil in the way he's bullied some staff and players into signing compromise agreements which disadvantage them under the premise that their payments won't be paid until they sign and/or won't be paid at all because "the club will go under". He added to that that if an individual didn't sign, none of his fellow/former teammates or staff members would get their money either as the club would just close.
The disadvantages he forced on people weren't just financial - they included forcing them to sign away rights and provide indemnities to the club for the club's responsibilities.
Faced with the choice of no money ever or no money to pay mortgages, moving costs, Xmas, etc, he took advantage of these people.
That's the reason people aren't just leaving the club, but leaving the sport altogether and there's so much disguised vitriol towards him on social media.

This doesn't surprise me. I think the club have pulled an outrageous stunt in clearing out players and staff in the way they have (even though some may have deserved it). How much of what we put in our licence application is currently holding true ? Any other club might have been thrown out of SL.

It was a joke.
In reality I wouldn't even waste one of my farts on Gus.

In light of the recent revelations perhaps it's time to rethink a dirty protest?

| Quote meliferra="meliferra"I genuinely beleive TK wants ownership of Broncos. He had been linked with several funny shaped ball enterprises before this.
TK's model revolves around his Membership idea and keeping punters paying all year round. His problem was that come April everyone will cancel and renew for August. By bringing in Broncos and having Womens Super League football he is hoping he can retain those members over the summer.
TK never has and I doubt he ever will prop up a club with playing funds that their off field income can't support. His method of working is to build an infrastructure that will support a larger playing budget. If Barnet Council hadnt screwed us over then we would now be playing at Copthall in a 10k stadium and not Saracens.
So if you think TK is after someone elses money - I doubt it.
If you think TK will dip into his own pocket for player funds - Nope.
What he will do is invest behind the scenes to maximise the player budget available. We have a running joke about the fact he spent 400k on solar panels instead of buying players so the club was more profitable and could afford higher wages.
If TK sees that Broncos is not viable over the next 2 years then he will walk away, if he sees that his model is working and Broncos can be a success then he will look to take them on.
From anyone looking at the Broncos balance sheet in recent times this is a sensible approach imo.
So if you're looking for a sugar daddy you've come to the wrong place, but if you want someone who will work towards a long term future then maybe he is the right person for the job.'"
Thanks for the post meliferra, most informative.
I think I can summarise it by saying that TK is a businessman, where as our current chairman, for all his largesse, ain't.
