Re: Up to date Selles poll - in or out?

do think away tactics need to change.

if we fail to start picking up points in next few games id be for sacking, but we cant afford to sack him anyway so its moot.

Re: Potential New Owners

Anybody willing to be a minority partner with Dai has more money than sense and will most likely be a similarly bad owner. Dai is basically asking them to put in the funding to bankroll his attempt to claw back the poor investment he's pissed away, all after he has publicly demonstrated to be utter...

Re: another, thants right another embargo for late PAYE payments - a new embargo

The cash from 2 / 3 home games a month and the odd televised game isn’t going to be more than initial transfer fees + ST payments we should have taken in over the last month though is it... We're going to sell, what, 3k - 5k tickets a game max... monthly matchday revenue isn’t going to be more than...

Re: Dai Yongge Out

How much debt we in? Can't be an attractive purchase for someone About 200 million. No ground. No training ground. Even if we won two promotions in two years we wouldn't be worth that to any buyer So it's Dai or going out of business (Short of Dai writing the debt off and gifting us the ground etc ...

Re: League One - Your Expectations?

Looking forward to a new manager, new team, building a club sustainably, and hopefully something a bit different to us being down the bottom of the league playing appallingly dull football which has been us for most of the last 8 years Plus can't wait to get out and about to some new towns/football ...

Re: Confirmed - Lumley Signs

Or how unpopular Tom Ince is after slagging everyone off, so even though he's obviously the best player by a mile they all refused to vote for him. Yeh this really. Glad Ince won POTS because usually it goes to one of the plodders, but speaks volumes that the players went for someone else. Or maybe...

Getting half a new squad in on a shoestring and building a new team.

Loads of great away days.

Genuinely excited.

If the owner doesn't pull out and bankrupt us.

Re: Speculation: Gylfi

The CPS have specifically stated that the evidence they have managed to accrue over the last two years does not meet their threshold. Their threshold is "balance of probabilities", or "is it more likely than not". They do not have to get to the criminal standard for a charging d...

Re: Mark Bowen

Sorry if covered somewhere else (can't see it) but Bowen said last night we needed £12m player sales to achieve the business plan target. How can that have been remotely possible? Its obvious we only agreed to it to keep last season at -6 that seems like a very sensible decision to me. at least gav...

Re: Are you optimistic we'll survive?

I think we should and we have a chance, which wasn't the casewhen ince was here. Ask me again after Luton. I wouldn’t say optimistic though, because staying up just means same relegation fight next year. without points deductions and more freedom in the transfer market means thats much less likely ...

just an example of where we could happily do everything the EFL said but still not meet the business plan.

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

Not a lot to investigate with Huddersfield, they're either in administration or not and that's not something assessed by the FL. They just apply the sanction. Likewise Wigan, there's a clear breach. I reckon with is its either marginal and there's a lot of legal shizzle being thrown back and forth,...

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

I want the EFL to oxf*rd off now. We’ve been punished enough. Maybe not in terms of a points deduction but we’ve been under a transfer embargo for 3 seasons now and all of that has probably taken 2k off the turnstiles, plus prevented us offering longer term deals to players we could have gotten a f...

Re: Do you want ince to go before the end of the season?

Can anyone see this team getting 3-4 more wins this season under PInce?

I can't see it, therefore we may as well roll the dice and try and get some sort of bounce with someone else

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

But if you take Bayern and RB Leipzig out, the rest of the league is pretty poor in quality in respect to the rest of the big leagues. The amount of money in the English game, it would take a very bold (possibly even silly) move to step into that territory. Not to mention that there are a number of...
