Its a fair point, I know I wouldn't risk my familys safety and if idiot fans are threatening them then it might put him off. I'd be surprised if he took his family though so I doubt that's why it's been called off but I could understand him wanting out. There are ways to discuss the problems and some fans go too far with their criticism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Chansari has shown that he is not intimidated on past occasions so these threats must be of a more serious nature , No doubt the National press will be reporting on it tomorrow.

It wasn’t really a disgusting interview was it Matt?. I’ve heard much worse from  other football managers. In some ways it was enlightening to hear Jos speak with some passion and enthusiasm. Just a thought but why not hold the forum in the ground at Hillsborough?.
