    This has been coming since June 2011. The negative messages coming from the club and the hiding behind FFP have put us in this position.

    Next challenge - convince the supporters we can't compete with the likes of Walsall and Port Vale.

    Not sure what you mean by saying do I think you don't care?

    We are all hurting, especially with things looking bleak.

    We don't need people saying it's been a conspiracy by the club to relegate us to League2. (Can't compete with Walsall etc).

    I don't understand how we can expect to win matches against teams with far better layers bought and paid with borrowed or donated money. I think this season has seen a lot of baffling selections and tactics, not attacking teams more, giving daft goals away etc, but I honestly can't see how with little money we can compete better.

    Conan what do you want from the owner.
    Will you be satisfied if he spends all his own money on BFC ?
    The fact is we have to live within our means as a hell of a lot more clubs are having to do
    The defeat against Leeds was nothing to do with lack of quality this team have given displays to disprove that theory it was a **** attitude maybe because of bad tactics but with the dross in the bottom seven positions we had a squad to compete with them

    We have to live within our means and have done next to sod all to improve the means that we have. The club has been stagnating at best since we returned to this level. People say that Cryne is a good business man. I've seen little evidence of this in relation to BFC.

    Aim for 21st every year and one year you will fall short. Could have been 2012, could have been last year, no surprise it's this year.

    Promotion and eight years in championship for a club just out of administration with a crowd base continually in the lower end. Whilst supposedly massive clubs like sheff utd.Wendy,leeds,leicester etc etc have succumbed to the drop.
    Thank god our owner didn't go for broke and put us in Portsmouths shoes.
    Ask the Bradfords and Preston's if we haven't done alright

    Great post. Exactly right. People are hurting.

    These people complain about paying £300 to watch barnsley. But expect PC to keep putting millions in. When they have put in the same percentage of their wealth then they can have a pop at PC.

    A few morons are typical at every club. These are out in force.

    Not really interested in the opinions of Bradford or Preston fans. Have a look at the average attendances and have a look at who is one place above us and two places below us.

    Didn't mean it literally.
    Can't be bothered to look at attendance figures but if it isn't somebody that's been in championhip as consistently as us and have just been up and darn I'm not bothered

    Glad you feel like that.

    Most sensible people understand the millions he's poured in.

    When you put in as much money into the club as PC I'll give one **** about what you think. You post repetitive tedious moronic rambling a of a bitter lonely sad individual. Have you not realised you're fast becoming as pathetic and pitied as other notorious posters on here.

    I think over the years I have put a bigger percentage of my non-wealth into the Club than Cryne has.

    I don't give two shiny shites what you think of my opinions. Aside from the fact that you've totally missed the point I wouldn't have even noticed your presence on this board if you hadn't responded in this thread.
