Neerav in today's Chronicle.

I think we just expect to be top 6 and if we're not we have a melt down heads must roll etc. Granted nareev has made some mistakes with head coach and player recruitment but he's put a good bit of his own cash in. I remember the old days treading water in this league gudjon thordason almost been relegated to league 2. Things will get better got to stick with it.

 

We are objectively getting worse while losing more and more money, who knows where the bottom is?

 

Very much doubt we'll make the top 10. We're 11th now and looking at the table I'd say there's every chance we'll finish bottom half.
From 5th in January that's some fall.

 

Speaking of Bournemouth

Love the none so subtle dig at Man Utd in this particular post within the thread.

Absolutely mental numbers.

 

I like that summarized breakdown at the top of that post, for those of us who struggle with accounting (and I'm a whizz with Quicken).

 

In any other business (except Disney movies), this would not be sustainable.

Why would Neerav want to reach the promise land of the PL. He should be happy in L1, losing only £750K a month.

 

You didn't mention where the chairman said the coach will be backed in the summer and the aim is promotion to the Championship.Wether you believe him or not taking snippets out to suit isn't fair.

 

This is the folly of it all. Owners are gambling to try and get to the championship with the aim of further revenue to try and compete higher. But you get to the championship and wages go through the roof. Then if your hundreds of millions of monopoly money get you to the top flight, it gets worse still.

It's absolutely nuts.

Why anyone wants to do it is beyond me.

 

But recent history would suggest the last coach wasn’t backed in the transfer market, a month or two ago. When the team were in the top six and on a good run.

They signed Farrugia, Lembikisa, Gauci and Rodrigues. Three of those at the last minute. One has been in and out and offered nothing. One hasn’t had a start. One was injured quickly. The other, described as ‘a body’ was involved straight away then vanished.

That, combined with injuries and suspensions to others, plus allowing others to depart now sees the team mid-table and on a shocking run even though we’ve just played some struggling clubs.

I’ve defended Neerav’s interview more than most. But him saying they’ll back the next coach and Championship is the aim is not going to convince anyone based on very recent evidence.

Edit - I forgot Jon Lewis. Another one who has barely figured.

 

Football is dead, this is why I'm losing interest, its gone.

 

To be fair, Lewis mostly didn't feature due to injury, and then came on to score an injury time equalizer, so he gets my support (for now).

 

Lewis got injured , I’m not sure I’d have backed Clarke in the January window either , he wasn’t very good

 

Yeah exactly, Mr Cryne left us with a clear £5+ million in the bank didn't he.
And while I do blame most of it on messrs Conway & Lee, these lot have made some awful costly incompetent errors.

 

The worst window since…..the last terrible window (and there’s been a few). If that’s the standard we’re looking at this summer then I very much doubt we’re backing the head coach for a push for the Championship.

 

At some point the whole thing will collapse. We've been saying that for a good while, but it has to. There aren't that many people willing to buy clubs to throw their fortunes away and even the richest are burning millions at a crazy rate, despite alleged constraining financial rules.

 

Refs paid 240k a year and whingeing it’s not enough. Madness

 

They’re reyt. I chuck that amount of money in water fountains

 

On a related note, had we better send out a search party for Ms Quay? After two years of having plenty of soundbites to say she appears to have disappeared off the face of the Earth.
