If not LR then who?

McGuckin stood out far better. Green a pretender!

Was there McGuckin take it from me got more about him than Green but hopefully not another Lamy never gets a chance here then thinks * it. Victor at start here wasn't convinced but got to be now.

At the start? You spent the first half of last season calling for him to be dropped after every game despite him being man of the match most weeks. You don’t half talk out of your a*se.

I know it was a increase of 2 million, he still had other players to buy/fund with the regular funds.
My apologies over kioso. Is that the only fault you can take from my reply. As I recall warne didn't play kioso much either.
I guess Nothing about the positives in my post for MT.
Let's see how next season goes, I'm sure LR will get a healthy budget cos he's got a full team to buy

Cayton I am trying to take a balanced view on MT if that doesn’t come across I am sorry. Yes he did some good things but as stated by me and others he made mistakes too, some big ones. I have no idea whether lr will succeed, but he has form in L1 so let us hope he does well for us.

The Warneyphobes who overpraised MT on his appointment feel that they have been given a chance to show that their enthusiasm wasn't

premature and misplaced.

Anyone expecting LM to turn the wreck into an ocean-going liner was delusional. I think he will have us competitive next year.

Agreed.

This was obviously the plan too, given we've spent nothing this winter and arguably made a tidy profit on player sales in total - even with a bigger budget.

Too much costly deadwood and terminal decline players in the squad both on loan and here on a fly by night contract.

Info purposes.
When Wigan won promotion from league 1 under LR. The staff budget was 13.1 million. That season alone gave them over 7.7 million of debt. We all know what happened after this.

Unfortunately that's just one reason why I fear he may not be as successful with us next season.
He'll be lucky if he gets a budget half that size.

Mellow, a very valid point indeed.

It's a great post Frog. Be careful what you wish for etc...! We have become a victim of our own success.Is it 7 out of the last 10 seasons we have spent in the Champ? That is an incredible stat but ,at the moment,we all wish were Chessy fans 25 points clear at the top of the National League.We have reached our ceiling and when we go down I do think we will be competitive with LR.This idea that we will fall through the leagues is ridiculous.We might not get promoted but we will be there or there abouts,but if we do.........then what?

I have nailed the word ridiculous to my wall and will come back to you.
Because it's never happened before, has it?
To think we will just go on in the same old way in L1 is as stupid as it is arrogant.
