McGrath right as Div 3 beckons

[Salsa Party Animal]

Trevor I am afraid I won't be shocked if we have successive relegations in couple of season. Let hope we have a very good summer with new owner and transfer activity. Randy should have moved to UK permanently to oversee the running of the club.

If folks really do think we will be relegated to division 3 next season whack some money on it, i'd imagine it would be pretty big odds.

We couldn't be further away with the bookies considering we are favourites for the title.  Lump on and put your money where your mouth is.

Well its not often the bookies are wrong Ads but as things stand at the club at this present time that scenario seems faintly ridiculous. Things could change if Randy sells the club off cheaper than he was hoping for. In fact anything is possible.

Ridiculous to think we will win the title? I don't.  It's the minimum expectation.

[PeterWithesShin]

I think we'll come straight back up but I don't see how finishing first can be the minimum expectation as it's the highest we can finish.

[Toronto Villa]

As bad as things appear to be I find it funny that anyone seriously believes we are going to do a Wolves and get relegated in consecutive seasons. Or do a Portsmouth and literally be on the verge of being wound up. I get the concern about the current state of affairs but it doesn't half generate some melodramatic nonsense.

Not losing a game and being up before Ben Hurr is on Channel 4 are my higher expectations.

Several months ago I said on here that the atmosphere around the club reminded me of the late 60s. Someone took issue with me saying it was the most over the top statement he  had read on the site. Well I will say it again. The degree of apathy at every level of our club reminds me of the dog days of the sixties and early seventies. We all know what that lead to.

I agree entirely that where we are now is very reminiscent of the late 60s as I was there to experience it. It was very, very bad during these years but I would say that this is worse because the gap between the old 1st and 2nd divisions was nowhere near as big as the gap between the Premier and the Championship in 2016. Even as we went down to the third in 1970 there was a feeling that we had a committed board and that things would eventually turn around. The turnaround began to slowly take root in 1970/71 and just over a decade later we were champions of Europe  I don't sense any of that even slight optimism or green shoots of recovery in the air at the moment. .

Time to spin some Motown  Jimmy and put the Leonard Cohen collection under lock and key. We'll be back!

Agreed. Until Randy goes we are stuffed. Not just in limbo, but in danger of falling further. Might not be consecutive relegations but we could easliy be in league 1 in 3 seasons. Unless we have a change of ownership

[supertom]

I do feel in my guts that League 1 beckons. But I really feel like it's going to be a long and painful drop. We'll struggle next season and probably end up as we've been in the top flight in recent years. Hovering over the edge. We'll not do a fucking thing to put things right because Randy is a fuck trumpet and the club is about as appealing to buyers as a turd sandwich. The whole set up here is incompetent.
I can't see our board making the right decisions and when you drop you have to make sensible decisions or you're fucked. So we're fucked as we've got Magoo and his cronies running the club.

We will win the title.

[brian green]

One if the few things that keeps me dragging my weary bones to matches is the thought of Adama Traore and Jordan Ayew running at Championship defenders.  We will smash them.

I agree but sadly I don't think either will be here to do it. It'll be Gabby and Gestede.
