    I cannot remember a worse more boring attempt ( dare I call it football ) than this season my dad says it?s the worst negative football he?s ever seen on the turf and he?s 90 - literally used to cycle here and leave his bike outside when there were no houses surrounding the turf
    That?s a lot of years and a lot of games - but Parker takes the accolades
    Good on him army88, I wish I could share his resilience. I cannot possibly justify spending another couple of grand (Bank of Grandad pays for everything) on watching a rudderless ship.

    Sinkov always had doubts about ALK and I always stuck up for them but where the pfHuck are they now?

    I've had a quick peek at the latest accounts, it's eyewatering, we're almost getting to the re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic stage imo. It's a few years now since Deloitte and Touche said 70% of turnover was about the reasonable max, any more than that and you were heading for Admin. In our last promotion season we spent 114% of turnover on wages, no wonder we got promoted, but if we don't get that back down we're well and truly fecked.

    Sadly, I agree with you sinkov. I never liked the takeover when it took place, however, it was what a lot of fans wanted ---a change at the top to progress the club.
    What ostensibly was a well run ship has indeed turned into the Titanic and the sinking feeling just will not go away because the debt continues to grow.

    Everything these numpties touch goes pear shaped.Have you seen where Espanyol are lately....they were fourth in La Liga when potless Pace & Co. took over.They are the kiss of death.
