This is a different sport and all. But how many of us in here have ever wanted to do this? http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-...uters&type=lgns <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-fluminensefan&prov=reuters&type=lgns":</div><div class="quote_post"> Fluminense fan spends $25,000 to give coach advice RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 8 (Reuters) - A fan of relegation-threatened Brazilian club Fluminense spent around $25,000 on Wednesday to give advice to coach Paulo Cesar Gusmao on team selection. The fan, who gave her name as Sheila Candiogo, took out paid advertising space on the inside back page of the Rio de Janeiro daily O Globo to send her tips to Gusmao, who is Fluminense's sixth coach this year and has yet to win a game. "The appeal I'm making is simple," she wrote. "Please field a real forward alongside Tuta...If possible Alex. Or Beto. But don't field Lenny. You'll be doing him a favour. Against Botafogo, Lenny tripped over the ball again. "Please help Fluminense not to go down. Millions of fans will be eternally grateful to you. Many of them are children, who don't deserve this long agony." Fluminense are 16th in the 20-team Brazilian championship with 36 points. On Thursday they face Ponte Preta, who are one place and two points below them, in a match which will leave the loser in the relegation zone with five games to play. The bottom four go down. A spokesman for O Globo's marketing department said such an advertisement would generally cost around 55,000 Real ($25,700). "I'm sympathetic to it because it reflects the sentiment of millions of fans in Brazil and abroad," said Gusmao, who has been in charge for seven games since replacing Antonio Lopes. "I respect everybody's opinion but the one that prevails is mine." </div> OK, so 25,000 dollars is quite a lot, so maybe nobody has quite wanted to go this far. But it reminds me a lot of the discussions from the various Warriors' message boards and quite a few feelings I have had while watchings this team over the last few years. I guess having Don Nelson will not lead anyone to go this far. But I bet if we still had Montgomery there could be a fundraiser for one...haha.
I'd donate to this fund anyday In all bolded capital letters: "TO COHAN & ALL HIS UNDERLINGS: YOU SUCK!" or how about "Bench Foyle and Dunleavy now, Montgomery!!! And Mullin get the coach some decent subs and starters!"
