[QUOTE=durhampie;40100864 Instead we have gone for the cheap out of work option in the hope we can pull a rabbit out of the hat..

To be fair, the one thing you can’t accuse our owners of is penny pinching. Would we have hung on to Wootton for so long if they were more concerned about the money? They have dug deep into their pockets since becoming owners!

We all want that Gumpy, even the owners Although there is a caveat to that statement. I don't want short term gain (promotion) at all costs for long term pain (by criminally overspending, unintentionally cheating?)

I've not dropped to that level yet.

In simplistic terms we are indeed creeping downwards on the very short sample we are basing it on, really really slowly regressing in the league

[legs77]

The crux of it is that the regular posters who have this issue have had it since the brothers have taken over. They don't like the approach. It doesn't matter who we sign or appoint. The response will be the same because it's not the way things were done back in their day.

Spot on.

I miss the days of having 3 managers and 30+ players a season they were great days.

I mean that method didnt put us here in the first place.

Bloody Danes what do they know about English footy much better getting a Brit named Ray/Alan that will sort us out.

CG if all you want is us winning enough matches to get us out of this god forsaken league, why don't you just wait till we are not in a position to do that to spew your negativity all over the place. You obviously do care about the style we play or you wouldn't batter on about tippy f**king tappy.

Wanting promotion for the club you've supported all your adult life is being negative? Err, OK..

You should know the new rules on here by now gumpy, happy clappers and positive vibes only. Any hint of negativity will be ridiculed.

If we all wish really, really hard for promotion I'm sure it will happen.

[crazyfists]

I like the owners, the recruitment now is better and this method has worked for others. They won't bring in a proven manager as they would want more involvement in running the club, the owners don't want that, they want coaches to improve what they've got. Nothing against them at all but by the end of this season I would like to have seen we've challenged for the top spot.

[optipez]

Not for me thanks

Really can't see why all the negativity. Of course there are real intentions to get out of this league.

Looking forward to tomorrow, and whatever the score, as long as we give it a real go, that will be ok.

Giving it a real go and losing isn't ok , it's losing to your promotion rivals and 5 pts from 12. Why on earth are you happy to shrug off a defeat to Chesterfield as just one of those things.
We're turning into the boiled frogs of non league, accepting our fate meekly without realising what's happening.

Well put. As Gumpy said, we look less like getting promotion each year we're down here. Each year we're down here, our standards get slightly lower. When's it going to stop?

Wrexham and Chesterfield might go up this season, but then other ex-league clubs like Southend and Oldham will eventually get their act together. We could be down here for good, unless we step up a gear.

[magpie_mania]

If they can get their act together, why can't we? Can't understand why we have been written off already by so many.
