After a dismal season for the star-studded club, PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN ultras requested the ouster of president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
The final decline came when PSG was knocked out of the Champions League's Last-16 by Real Madrid on Wednesday, with Lionel Messi and Neymar once again underperforming.
In the last two seasons, Paris Saint-Germain has used some unusual jersey colors.
The Collectif Ultras Paris released a statement criticizing the players' attitude, arguing that Al-Khelaifi is not the proper guy to run the club, and even criticizing the team's pink shirt colors from the previous two seasons.
As they alternate the club's history, the PSG followers say that their appearances have harmed the team's season and have called for a nonviolent protest on Sunday when the Parisians face Bordeaux.
"The intolerable and unavoidable disillusion that we dreaded and foresee has tragically come to pass," the statement continued.
"How do you have this mountain-moving mindset when your season starts in February and you play domestic contests at senatorial speed?"
"How can you have a meaningful game plan when your team is nothing more than a collection of'stars' who barely complement each other?"
"How can a coach command respect in the locker room when he is clearly not the ultimate decision maker?"
"How can a squad be rejuvenated when endless subs may contentedly see out their contracts with such generous pay?
"When your club's colors vary between black, fuchsia, pink, yellow..., how can you experience the unchanging force of its history?
"How can you want to change things for the people of Paris if all you do is wave from the penalty spot and are more likely to be spotted at Fashion Week than at a meeting with your own fans' representatives?
"We don't have a short attention span. We know what President Nasser Al-Khelaifi owes us, but it's evident he's not the right man for the position. Going forward, the club's current predicament necessitates thorough reorganization at all levels.
"People who serve our Paris Saint-Germain, not people who are serviced by it, are what it deserves." We will express our displeasure against Bordeaux on Sunday, and we invite everyone who supports this club and will be present to join us in our nonviolent action.
In the last two seasons, Paris Saint-shirt Germain's has been pink.
"We will continue to mobilize until real, large-scale changes are accomplished. We do it for the benefit of a club, not a brand or a marketing product, but OUR CLUB! [Go PSG] Allez Paris."
This follows rumors of a significant disagreement behind the scenes during the 3-1 loss to Real Madrid, with Neymar and Gianluigi Donnarumma nearly colliding.
Those rumors were disputed by Neymar, but according to the referee's report, Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Leonardo attempted to contact match officials after full-time.
The president allegedly destroyed one of the linesmen's flag while attempting to break into the official's dressing area.
