I genuinely don't think we can, this team needs investment to stand a decent chance of survival. It doesn't have to be loads of money, but £10 million could save us.

I think they've accepted it as a possibility but, as we have before, that we can get out of it without putting any additional strain on finances.
Seems an almighty gamble to be taking.

You can always tell how desperate a situation is when you start agreeing with people you never did before. Like Piers Morgan on the guns in America.

I think I've sussed what's going on.

We're the victims of disaster capitalism. The club are employing 'shock therapy' to us, hitting us with so much fear and confusion that eventually we'll accept a new reality, which will be jobbing between the middle two divisions.

I'm on a slippery slope, aren't I. Start agreeing with people on here and in no time at all you're believing the wildest of conspiracy theories and blaming Martin O'Neill for your inability to find a matching pair of socks in the draw.

Today i've been forced into sporting one with Saturday on it and Tuesday on the other. I blame Nicola Keye personally.

Chris is right Lerner got pissed of with mon for having so many expensive players on the books who never kicked a ball in anger, he picked the same eleven every week even when they were playing shit. There will be last day transfers as no other club will have time to outbid us.
