Problem is it shows a lack of confidence that we can get out of it. If I were a player with a short shelf life, I'd want as much cash guaranteeded for me and mine for as long as possible. Can't blame Warne for that.
Agree on the underdog comments though. We can be that but lets talk ourselves up a bit rather than demotivcating ourselves to get beaten by all these better teams. You can be a better team. You just have to be more than the sum of your parts.

Don't be daft. Barker will just sit back and let Warne take all the flak. Remind me again what Barker has achieved in management? Warne needs a stronger number 2 by his side but that's too late now as they've formed a bond that Warne would never break.
Could you imagine Warne/Evans partnership? At least the football might be more entertaining with a gung ho attitude towards games. Of course this would never happen as Warne couldn't stand Evans style of Management, and there's no revolving door on players now at the club. But, who offered the better attacking formations, Warne or Evans?
Barker has the same number of promotions as a manager as warne _ one. Although knill had probably done the ground work at bury, officially barker was promotion manager. Alarmingly barkers managerial reigns always end with significant winless streaks, without goals. You could argue this suggests no plan B, once plan A is sussed.Quote:

Another very dissapointed Miller.Quote:

TS has said he is very happy with the current recruitment set up. Really? Perhaps you need to take another look Mr Stewart because from the outside it still doesn't look fit for purpose.
Yates, Bray and Ihiekwe loans had gone quite well though and those loans could probably have been extended - but we dithered about and were slow to try to bring anybody in, failed to achieve that, so then we needed them back as cover...so now we have the extra cost of players that are unlikely to start - could have been avoided
Weve had good times and maybe here come the bad..its always happened and it always will..its to be expected..thing is this time though, theyve told us where we're at..and thats probably gonna be for all time with this regime..im not knocking the manager or the chairman, they run the club as they see fit...but whats on the table for the fans except for looking around a nice stadium..this is it..theyre showing and telling us so...
And its not the clubs fault either..the club is only as good as the people who run it..we may avoid rèlegation, which would be a great achievement given thursdays non event..which would only strengthen the viscious circle..."stayed up and didnt cost us ought"...
At least we can look on the bright side and say weve got a nice stadium and we're told no money worries... 🤗
