boundaryblue80 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Baffles me what folk are thinking of when they say "go down, to come back up" Especially from people who no longer go. They don't go because we've been stagnant and :censored: in this division for most of 20yrs. And somehow think a drop in level will be the tonic to turn us around. Beyond laughable!

yarddog73 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 So stagnating will be better for us? Of course it would be a risk the way we are run but let's be honest it will be the only way we would have a chance of doing anything, our level now is below where we're at and whilst we have a chairman who views 20th in this :censored: league as an achievement and spends the minimum achieving that then nothings going to change.

sjk2008 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well I am bored :censored:less of League One, so if we went down, I'm not even sure I'd be that arsed. Then again, I'm not that arsed about us at the moment. That's what's pissing me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah...so now even you are eating up the :censored: "our leader" has fed everyone and spouting it out. Our level wasn't below where we are at. It was pitched there and we have duly sank to it. Luck more than judgement has kept us afloat at this level. Drop to the level you have forceably been fed and now believe is where we should be at and watch the process begin all over again. Listen to statements like "bigger clubs than us like Tranmere & Wrexham are non-league so we should be" be rolled out. Christ sake people...think for yourselves, will you?!?! Going down will be a :censored:ing disaster. Edited October 25, 2016 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going down will be a :censored:ing disaster. We're no more or less likely to have a good season in League 2 than we are in League 1. The people who suggest coming back up might give us some momentum always totally ignore the fact that going down might just as likely give us the other kind of momentum..

yarddog73 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Going down may well be a disaster as I've said before it will probably be enough excuse for Corney to cut the cloth accordingly again but one things for sure is he has zero ambition for achieving anything in the top half of this league as demonstrated by the interview he gave whilst we were riding relatively high after he cashed Johnson in. Relegation would cost the club over £200,000 just in the FL solidarity payments, we currently receive around 600k and that would drop to around 400K with relegation and that's just for starters. Promotion to the Championsip would see us receive a payment of over £5 million and for the bottom clubs in the PL this season its worth a cool £80 million plus, with a guarantee of three years worth of parachute payments totalling more than £62 million.

I don't understand the drama about this league being that bad. Objectively speaking we're in a division with teams which are probably about our size. We're as much a stain on this division as most other sides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, meant in terms of familiarity, playing same teams etc. Still rather play Bradford every season than Barnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Look at the teams in League 2. This might be :censored: but down there is different level :censored:. The gap between the Championship and League One is much greater than the League One and Two gap. There are some exceptions (Bolton and Sheff Utd in our league, Portsmouth in the league below) who are fallen giants with budgets that are well above the rest of the competitors. Otherwise it's much the muchness. Edited October 25, 2016 by the_mighty_bosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that many disagree with that statement. We are now at the same level in virtually all respects as; Rochdale, Bury, Fleetwood. AFC Wimbledon, Northampton, Shrewsbury, Oxford and Brizzle Rovers. I cannot think of any arguments to put forward that we are a 'bigger' club than any of those 8.

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Regarding Saturday, if we do manage to get a win we'll only be 3 points behind Dale and not far off mid-table. I don't rate our squad highly and I'm not convinced by our manager, but we aren't cut adrift and the league is tight. So let's see what happens.

I don't rate our squad highly and I'm not convinced by our manager, but we aren't cut adrift and the league is tight. So let's see what happens. I thought exactly that this morning. Unfortunately, the most likely outcome will leave us 9 points behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Are we going to make any changes? Personally I'd be prepared to be unchanged which might sound strange considering we have come of a home defeat to Bristol Rovers but I would say stick with the current starting 11 with the idea to make them gel. Although I would be tempted to go with McLaughlin over Winchester. Edited October 25, 2016 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
