2014-15 Predictions

I hope you are right Kevin. I am in full panic mode around signings. I am beginning to think either no more, or another free. If that happens then yeah, put me in the ""probably its our year to go down" camp.

[edgysatsuma89]

It's not even worth betting on us to go down our odds are that shit.

Well done Randy! Total idiot. A complete hash of the summer, no major signings, contract issues up in the air - the perfect template how not to run a football club. Even Faulkner has had enough....

[clash city rocker]

I think that we have less cause for optimism than any other fans in the premiership. .even the fans of the teams coming up are looking forward to the new season..personally I think we have a season of struggle to look forward to and surely some of the players must realise this to.

If the current league form continues then we're stuffed as that was relegation form for certain. Unfortunately the manager is the same and so are most of the players.

most of our squad have are not good enough for the beach, let alone the bench

What you have to remember is that he's in the process of selling the club. Now only he (and obviously a couple of others) know how far down the line it's gone. If he's close to selling it then I can understand his reluctance to put money in for transfers. If a deal is not in the pipeline then he should invest to help the club along. I hope that because of the lack of money spent, that a deal is not far away.

This might just be our year.

For the FA Cup? Or relegation? Or both?

The second one sadly

[Villafirst]

Why are some people still defending Lerner? Regardless of any imminent sale he still should safeguard the club's future by some reasonable spending in the transfer market. After all, what happened to the £73M tv money? If a sale doesn't happen and we end up relegated he will see his asset plummet in value; a very risky strategy - I just think he's a poor decision maker.

[Steve kirk]

Lerner has been reassured by Lambert that we will be fine and I genuinely think he believes it, just about everybody knows were in trouble but the few at the top of our club,, we are sleepwalking towards the abyss

[Dave Cooper please]

 

we are sleepwalking towards the abyss

HOUSE!!

Excellent (if hardly coming up with new stuff - but then we don't on here!) article from Stuart James in the guardian. He really knows what he's talking about. Don't want to pick on Mat Kendrick but the quality of this article is so much higher than what he turns out!

[David_Nab]

Some damning stats in that article.We are basically the new Wigan holding on every year and like them eventually we will go down.

A well-written article.
