'Hanging around' . That's not my way Aya and certainly not hanging around, or being in the same parish,as the man that seems to have discovered the only relatively penniless prince in the middle East to become his pal. :)Quote:

No on ereally wants to hang around do they?
Which teams have sailed through TT? Not many - for most it takes a while to build up the momentum/investment to get to the land of milk and honey from life in the championshipQuote:

One thing is sure though, that in the way English football is currently structured, limited investment makes “success” (however you define it) extremely difficult to achieve. Indeed, practically impossible!
quite right ronnie but its just frustrating we have a manager that with proper backing will get us to the premier league but it just wont happen unless a new investor comes in
Didn't the great man, Adkins, for one, do that with Soton? :)Quote:

We need to sieze the day, take the opportunity because 'consolidating' can backfire. Imagine supporting a team that got to the play off final twice, spent loads of money and are now nearer relegation than the top six. :)
As for spending money not being the only answer is there anyone on here who would not trust CW to spend it more effectively than many, many others?,
now now tt behave stop trying to upset our porky neighbours chris will learn a lot from this season but this season aint over yet by a long way starting with smashing the weedscum next saturday !!
Does anyone think we are overloaded in midfield but are struggling at left wing back (neither Enda or Kyle are good enough) and we look very average up front without Brooks. Teams have sussed out our 3 5 2 formation and nullify it. They also see we cannot cope with speed of pass and movement. We are where we are with the squad and money so a change of formation is surely the way forward. We need to try and get Fleck, Holmes, Evans, Duffy and Leonard in the same team including Brooks when fit.
away from home go with 1 striker and we can play all those 5 thats the answer and we would be a lot more solid imo
Nearly everyone is praising Evans. But his defending for the first two goals was pretty pathetic. Too slow to react for the first and lacking commitment in the challenge for the second. Different challenges would have made it much more difficult for them to score. Disappointing. We have got used to 100%
wow ??? I was looking at start of season hopefully 5th from bottom and thinking no spanking from the FILTH AS IT TURNS OUT they are where I thought we would be and we are short of where I thought they would be {top two} so to me we are ok ,learning curve this season ,we should be as supporters very happy at this point of the season UTMB ftp
