    Season over for Dog's OGC Nice.

    Following last weekend's results in Lg1 the Official OGC Nice Website has announced--

    "With three games to go until the end of the season OGC Nice will not be able to secure the 4th place finish needed in order to qualify for the Europa League next season. As a reminder 5th and 6th place will not obtain a ticket for Europe, unlike last season when PSG took home both national cups".

    The spiral of OGC Nice's decline continues under Dog's ownership as the once successful club again fails to qualify for Europe. Nice fans are restless blaming Dog's transfer policy not sanctioning the quality, experienced players required, particularly strikers, and instead enforcing a "buy young and cheap, develop and sell" policy which has generated a large transfer budget surplus. This and other financial issues has created boardroom unrest and the resignation of a long serving part owner and the long serving CEO. OGC Nice are presently the third lowest scorers in the league.
    Coach Patrick Vierra has worked wonders to keep OGC Nice in the top half but may become increasingly frustrated and the better players may seek European football elsewhere.

    Second best defence behind PSG. Just for a bit of balance.These ex Arsenal coaches like a one nil win.

    Just thought I'd drop in and say hello SBRed48.Did you find some pleasure in our promotion? I've decided my liver needs a little rest now for a while,well until Saturday.

    According to our CEO ( temp ) we will not be amending our recruiting policy.... So maybe you two will be sparring again in League One soon. Conway says we will carry on doing what we did last time, in the Championship
    And we know how that ends....
    And repeat

    Just remind me, how many times have our current owners operated that policy in the Championship??

    You, I and everyone have at this point in time no clue what that actually means in real terms, are you really saying you would have issues with them signing players of the ilk of Woodrow from Premier league teams to bolster our squad.

    At least give em a chance
