Might be in their interest to drag things out until the season changeover if that was the case then we start with -12 in League One I assume instead of starting on 0 in League Two. Not sure which is worse though - League 2 on 0 points may be an immediate return to L1 but L1 on -12 may be a horrible...

Would add the first season under Pardew to this after we got promoted, finished 4th and lost in the playoffs to Wolves. I quite enjoyed the 2008/9 season. If we’d beaten Brum in that final home game we’d have got automatic promotion, as we had a superior goal difference. I went to the game at St An...

Not every likely contender is confirmed yet. So early days. But I remember 4-4-2 had us down at about 20/1 for the title in 05/06.

Would caveat that with Terry the Taxis tenure The season actually went ok until about Xmas, and then he left about a month before the end of the season. So it was only really two months of shit with him. One of the last matches I went to before moving up to Leeds was the 6-0 thrashing we got away a...

Amen to both of those. I would say that the last ~10 years in the Championship and that PL relegation were the worst I've seen the club in all ways. Worse than the relegation fights in Division One under Jim & Mick and Bullivant and Burns. Worse than the dissappointment and struggle of Burns in...

I think the moments are just more memorable in the Premier League seasons. Even in the years we went down, we had some of our best moments. Beating Liverpool in 2007, the comeback win at home to Everton in 2012 when they were still good. January 2013 where Le Fondre was player of the month and McDe...

To be honest, I remember coming away from the home game against Fulham in 2006/07, a scrappy 1-0 win and thinking "I've just watched the future and it's oxf*rd turgid". That's the date it dawned on me that the Premier League ain't the be all and end all. The journey there was more fun tha...

Stevenage FC confirms that everyone's favourite roly-poly football manager, Steve Evans, has won his own personal World Cup by leaving his role as First Team manager to join Rotherham United https://twitter.com/StevenageFC/status/1780563108819288109 https://twitter.com/RotherhamUnited/status/178056...

joining on an initial one-year contract with an option for a further year. Anyone know if that option has been taken yet or are going to be at risk of losing him due to incompetence at board room level? That option will almost certainly be subject to discussions post season. No reason trigger it ea...

Each to their own I guess. I'd happily take being a Brentford, Fulham or Palace, let alone a Brighton. Just as long as I continued to appreciate it. Some younger Palace fans want Parish and fellow owners out; the same owners who bought them out from administration, avoided relegation to L1 and then...

Would like to see a relatively strong team to maintain the integrity of the competition for Vale and Cheltenham, but a few changes. CBC Yiadom, Bindon, Dorsett, Mola Wing, Elliott Azeez, Knibbs, Ehibhatiomhan Smith Button, Mbengue, Carson, Senga, Craig, Wareham, Camara Would like to see Senga and Ca...

I imagine the only way we go into administration is if the deal collapses and Chiron put us in with their charge on the training ground. At which point the Administrators come in and sell to Chiron for a lower fee than currently agreed in principle. Assuming they'd still want us in L2. Otherwise RIP...

Same difference.

When the outcome is certain, there's no reason to wait to see which club it is that drops the points.

Huang Kad has basically revealed exactly what was posted on here earlier - that was from a new account to here so could be the same person. Nope, can confirm I’m not the weird guy on Twitter pretending to be an ITK individual linked to the Thais. Which is exactly what a weird guy from Twitter prete...

Franchise FC Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ?
Does it affect our magic number ?

The magic number is currently 0 so, no, their games won't change it.

Surely it can go negative given suspended points deductions? -5 means we can afford not to pay our staff and get Blackpool abandoned.

Could do that

Fcuk me, you create threads to start debate but I didn't expect the idea that new owners should start paying bills and bringing normality back to be controversial. :lol: It's just certain people have to disagree with everything to demonstrate their supposed intellect. To state the blindingly obviou...

I mean that would just reinforce the point.

Franchise FC

Silver Fox Who would support Bolton? That's madness!!!

Anyway, I'm gleaning from the posts so far that all the other 23 teams in the division will be our rivals next year?

Born after 1995 is my guess

Or just got over it a long time ago.

Put it this way, I expect clubs like Fulham, Palace, Brighton and Brentford will get relegated eventually in the same way as previously well run clubs like Swansea, Stoke and Leicester did. Forget the big 6, it's hard to compete with Villa, West Ham and Everton. There is so little room for error th...
