ONE more banner
 

I really feel like SOC needs to consider flying one more banner......at the home opener next year, and have it say something like "CLARK, NICE JOB." or something along those lines. Clearly he saw that the fans were upset, so we should come up with a way to show him that we're glad he's listening to the fan base.

****!

I wonder if they'd let fans in with cardboard signs with that printed on it.

THANKS CLARK - WELCOME ANDY - GO CHIEFS!

:facepalm:

Not bad.

Look, the fan base is on the list of reasons why this happened but there are tons of other reasons why outside of SOC or any organized frustrated fan movement movement.

1. Scott Pioli's W-L record
2. Scott Pioli's personnel decisions like leaving the club with no viable QB.
3. 2-14
4. No wins in the AFC Conference for the first time EVER
5. No sell outs and diminishing attendance
6. Merchandise sales bottoming out
7. Being the butt of many jokes and a complete embarrassment within the league and outside of the league.

Lots of reasons why this was going to happen whether or not SOC existed. They may have sped things up slightly but it has to do with $ and being embarrassed with the product on the field more than any banner flying in the sky.

Probably a good thing your rep is turned off.

actually this is a good idea, it show SOC is not just negative nancies

Ok Barry

I will agree with all of those points, but you can't deny that having most of your fanbase rebelling against your team, is also considered a precursor to what happened.

Truth is often times not received warmly...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM

Sure but the empty seats had been increasing for months if not years. SOC started in, what, October?

SOC was A factor but hardly the factor and I doubt even the straw that broke the camel's back.

So a group that begged for certain things to happen is wrong to show appreciation for those things happening, whether it was because of them or not... ok...

True. However, neither is a need to harsh one's mellow.

Not at all. But I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. They've just hired a coach...

they haven't done anything else worth thanking them for yet. Well besides ditching Pioli which was a complete no brainer to everyone outside of One Arrowhead Drive.

Mr. Arrowhead said it best, show Clark that we're not just whining and bitching. Andy and a new GM could come in and things could be just as bad, we wanted the opportunity for change, and we have it.

No need, we accomplished what we wanted and anything more is attention mongering.

Look, I'm thrilled like everyone else. But hiring the coach is a far cry from actually putting a great product on the field. Take a deep breath and see how things go from here. Especially the draft...

I'd kick in $25 bucks for a positive banner.

They've done two major things SOC wanted. A new GM and QB are coming as well... also no brainers. The whole idea is preliminary anyway since THIS season isn't even over yet, let alone next years home opener being here. I think it's a nice idea. Of course we'll know more in time. Duh.

No one is saying we are going to be 16-0, but how can you not be excited about Clark going all in for change, which he believes will turn us around?

Fans saying thank you is attention mongering?

I like the idea of doing it on the first day of training camp. Start the season off right with a positive message from the fans:clap:

I remember this same excitement four years ago....:hmmm:

Go ahead and be excited but remember once bitten, twice shy. Just know that getting the 'popular' or most 'sought after' guy does not always equate to the best team on the field. We've been there, done that.

im certainly interested, and will contribute.

the point............................................................................. you

By attending games and packing Arrowhead is how you say thanks. Flying another banner is needless attention for what was accomplished.

Go ahead and be excited but remember once bitten, twice shy. Just know that getting the 'popular' or most 'sought after' guy does not always equate to the best team on the field. We've been there, done that.

I'm in for a thank you Clark banner

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I think a thank you banner would be a nice touch.

"We" wanted change. "We" got change and will get more. That's the point.

How about a thanks for listening message. As was stated they have not become anything special yet. Or a new era of chiefs football-2013-thanks clark!
Sea of red returns! Fall 2013! Over training camp.

Thanking a guy for making a business decision which will likely make him more money and save his crumbling product and one he was likely going to make anyway seems silly.

OK. This is boring now.

Thank him for having the balls to MOVE on from his first choice. He clearly saw it wasn't working and made changes........... How can you criticize him for that?:eek:

This turned into one hell of a buzzkill thread

I said it in one of the other 100 threads today, but I'd kick in another $50 to the SOC fund for a positive/thank you banner.

"FIRE REID. BENCH GENO"

WHY IS THIS NOT IN THE SOC MOVEMENT THREAD???

Too many replicate threads this last week.....:mad:

You can't but should there be a thank you for doing the obvious thing? All he has done is remove the cancer. The healing has yet to begin. We have to see what comes next.

He has a history of throwing money at the most attractive guy available and then washing his hands of the situation. He's pledged to change. Let's see if he does before we give him our total faith and trust.

Q

I'm focused on the now. The now is that Clark went and got a guy who has more playoff wins then the entire franchise has in its long existence. For a fan of a team who has had their ass handed to them for a while now, this gives me hope again. I'm not looking to pick it apart, I'm celebrating. There'll be plenty of time for Monday morning quarterbacking on Monday.

I'm celebrating too but we were celebrating four years ago and that didn't turn out so well. So let's see if Clark is true to his word and does more than sign a check and vanish...

I just think it be nice for Clark to see that SOC isn't all negative. Maybe SOC should go a more private route instead of a banner. Send some sort of plaque with a positive message to Clark and declaring the end of the SOC movement.

He might throw it away, but it be a nice gesture............. Who knows maybe down the road we see an interview with Clark and it's hanging on the wall. How cool would that be?

scratch the plaque........... Just a letter to Clark from SOC personally signed by all that was involved. I think that would be a nice touch.

No, the movement should continue but go from 'saving' to 'supporting' that way the SOC stationary can still be used. :)

I think he should be congratulated and celebrated but he has also made some promises to change things and I think these are good FIRST STEPS. Let's see what else comes down the pike before we get all giddy and school girl crushie...

Banner should read, "The job is almost done, draft a QB."

It's simple, we draft a # 1 QB, simply put, Thank You, Clark!

No # 1 QB, simply put, Job's not finished, we need a QB !

I think the banner should say: "Clark, thanks for everything. We're glad you finally realized what we knew all along...that Scott was a rat bastard. Now that things are good again, we'd really appreciate it if you could lower these ****ing parking prices. We promise we'll buy lots of merchandise and hot dogs. SaveDourchiefs.com."


I realize we probably need a 757 to pull this thing...

ROFL

Clark just can't win.

Get a Clue, bitch. JFC. It's your choice to be a fan. STFU.

:clap:

I was going to suggest the same thing, but have been at work. Glad to see the collective brain trust of Chiefsplanet has not let me down.

Geez, talk about negative nancy,.

Sorry, I just don't get the need to throw Clark a party simply for doing his job when Pioli didn't do his. He gets credit but thanks? It's not like he's losing millions and has a vested interest in his product succeeding more than just wins on the field. Unlike the rest of us. :doh!:

Yep, Clark truly deserves a very public display of affection.

We were public with our disdain. We should be equally public with our appreciation.

However, I'm of the opinion that calling the ticket office is a better method to do that.

Thats his job. I don't want a Jerry jones type of an owner. Make the right hire and GTFO and let them do their work.

I would like to see him at least be a little more visible. Just not Jerry Jones visible. I'm not a fan of the absentee owner approach.

I vote for OTWP58's idea.

HOPE RESTORED THANKS CLARK SaveOurChiefs.com

oh I agree. We need something in between absentee owner and Jerry Jones.

The banner should say Denise is a dumbass attention whoring ****.

Modell and Kraft are probably good models of what I would like to see in an owner. OUtside of the whole moving the team thing of course. heh

Actually I think this is a Fantastic Idea, possibly the best Idea Denise has never had.

We should throw a party to welcome Reid and thank Clark. Introduce Andy to the experience of arrowhead tailgating and have a party. You could get the word out via the SOC page and I'm sure you could get permission from the org. to use the parking lot for a welcome home tailgate.

If I wasn't so far away I'd be all in on this.

Doesn't need to say SOC anymore...just make it simple...

Hope Restored

God we have low standards and expectations in this town....

Nobody is "wondering what SOC thinks".

I hope we contributed to this front office turn of events (and I think we did a smidge), but the 2-14 did most of the heavy lifting.

Entities that don't exist anymore do not need to send a positive message banner.

It's navel gazing. It's self promoting in a way that's not necessary, and (relatively) expensive.


You want to send a message as a fan? Make a sign. Buy tickets. Pledge your undying love on facebook.

Get a really elaborate Chiefs tattoo with palm leaves on your chest. One that looks a bit scary when uncolored and may or may not be better when finished.

Lots of ways to support the Chiefs. Don't need a banner.

We were something. Now we're nothing, and it's better that way.

Donate that wad of cabbage.

I'm not in your town...:p

After this year of total fail any positive is great, but more importantly is the effort that is being made to make changes. I am a fan of this team and if the organization is TRYING to do better I am going to support them. I realize this post makes it seem like I care about your opinion but in reality I am so happy that there is positive movement in the right direction. Pioli almost made me quit being a fan and I'm happy that he is gone.

Your input is greatly appreciated to the discussion. Now.......

I didn't know it was your chest-tat, BRC. Sorry, man.
