    I don't think me or anybody else would argue nobody could do better on our budget. Ferguson, Mourinho, redknapp they would all be great it's just that I don't think Russell Slade or Gary Megson would do much. For what it's worth I would also like to see more attacking football, get it down the wings and get it in the box but you need quality to make this work, especially at the back because you will face counter attacks but we haven't got this, again you could fairly argue that's down to hill but I'm just fed up of changing managers every year. It's got us nowhere so let's try something different for a change.

    You won't get that from Hill because you can see how he likes his teams to play and that's it.

    I'm pretty sure you're only saying that because Hill tried to brainwash us all in to thinking that way this week.

    Just to add in response to Mike, the club may be going down and as much as I hate that thought promotions and relegations will come and go, on a more fundamental level the club at current is as far from ****** as its ever been, it's finally stable and that's the point about Crynes ownership it's unspectacular but safe.

    You can't say that with any certainty given the cost of relegation and that gates are likely to be down to the 5k mark in the league below.

    Can we even afford the players that would still be under contract?

    We break even. Just. That is the only positive you can draw against the club at the moment. Interest in the club is dwindling by the week, we are staring relegation in the face and because we have such poor commercial activity relegation will mean that breaking even next season will be nigh on impossible. Thus removing the only positive that we currently have.

    Course not Redstar, no club that goes down sustains the same wage bill. We'd operate on one appropriate for the division. Some would stay, some would go. But we wouldn't be wrestling with a debt we couldn't sustain, orinterest payments, or rent, so at least all our revenue could be spent on the team.

    But that revenue will be around 1/6th of what it is now. And the only solution in town will be to bang prices up. Again.

    Hill will be pleased that we're already considering how to deal with our rightful place in league 1 next season. Conditioning.

    Robins did better but was cast out. Hill seems to have had the same amount of cash judging by the loan signings so what gives?

    In a world of footballing debt, breaking even in this division is a major achievement, and when the financial rules bite, we'll be better off than we are now.

    As is everyone else's. But plenty wouldn't have our attendances.

    Or we could actually follow Huddersfield or Bradford's example in relation to ticket prices

    Still don't think we'll go down. It'll be Bristol, Wednesday and Peterborough, and I reckon one team a year will go in to admin due to their cheating

    No I'm not. I'm pretty sure most on here will have thought that over recent years. Clubs that chop and change their manager at every setback generally don't prosper.

    We've stayed up every year since coming back up despite said approach. It's only under Hill that we look nailed on to go down.

    IF they ever bite and its a BIG IF. Rules for this league are a joke anyway and won't help us because we won't be at this level!

    Our attendances will be around the 5k mark. About average for that league.
