Where will we finish? (8 Viewers)

[Nick]

Realistically I think 8th - 11th.

Ideally and hopefully 5th or 6th.

No chance of a relegation fight again!

Can't see his budget being outside the top 6 but you keep banging on.

Oh he's paid to over achieve by the way. That's why we invested in him and his back room team.

Likewise you keep banging in that's it is top 6.
I assume every manager is paid to over achieve then?

I take Mowbray is wrong when he says we have to punch above our weight as well?

No we've invested in Venus, clapham and Mowbray - you have to therefore do better than the budgeted position or you may as well just employ a bang average league one manager.

I actually don't know what that refers to. Do you?

 

[dongonzalos]

I would suggest that in order to get promoted this season we need to punch above 'our weight'

'Our weight' will be 'our finances' in turn 'our budget'
Promotion chances are top six so our budget will be below top six.

Like you said he will need to over achieve this season to give us a chance

 

[Gazolba]

I think we'll finish in the bottom half. It will be a big struggle to rise above where we are now since even the teams below us could come good at some point.

Well to lower expectations that's an obvious tactic. It's hardly factual is it

We are one if the biggest budgets in the league and we employ a big name manager and his team. They don't come cheap and need to show their value or there is zero point in investing in them.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Mid table 12/13 defence looks capable if our strikers could step up the table perhaps close to the playoff's If we've got one of the biggest budgets he must be saving it till January.

My experience of him so far is he pretty much says it as it is.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I agree dongonzalos I find I see games much the same as him but I do wish he would react when things are clearly not going well.

Of course you do.

Have you been to a game this season?

No I have never been to a Cov game.
I work for Wasps on a consulting basis for the council.
I imagine anybody who says a dissenting thing about the owners, if they make a decision that person thinks isn't the best for the club, probably are not real Cov fans and have never been to a game.

Right SISU if you make any decision that is probably best for you as a business, but not necessarily the best for Cov City football club. I am behind you 100% as long as you own our club I will back your decision whatever it is.
If you decide tomorrow to move us to Northampton I will spit my dummy out fur 24hours as I really know it's not best for CCFC.
However then true to form I will back you.
Also I will label anyone who dares to question you not a true fan who doesn't go to games.
I will suggest they love wasps and the council or anybody you choose to do battle with.
I will effectively infer they are not a true supporter like me the super fan.
I don't care if a charity get trampled over I will maintain that nothing else in world matters but only decisions that help CCFC.
However if Wasps take over the club even if it turns out that that is best for the club. I will ditch my super fan status and won't bother going. (Yet still has the gall to have a go at those who don't attend now because of the owners)
True comedy

I asked a very simple question - one you avoided answering. Bit like council dart - goes very coy when asked about his attendance record.

Missed one so far due to work. Will miss more far more in the future due to work.
Not that it would have been any of your business and gives you no right to question my stays as a Cov fan.

Simple question for you now, would you still turn your back on the club your profess to love. If we got wasps as owners ?

I have a moral view that franchising in sport should not be condoned - I think anyone with decency would agree with that so yes I would.

It would be the end of the clubs soul,integrity and would be the final sell out.

Fortunately it won't happen.

lets hope Wasps buy the club then

Would you start attending then or would you just find another excuse?

 

[Bruce the Boot]

Id have me box back

 

[skybluebeduff]

Solid gif, just not the right context.

He will be a good player for us.

No mate he won't, he's consistently shit and today again proves that.
People have a sad fascination with him, which blinds the obvious negativity in his play.
A League Two player at best, and that's being kind.

Trying to remain positive but becoming harder with each passing week

Did you see the game today?

I don't have any form of sad fascination with him. I think he's a good player, based purely on ability. I don't know him personally, I'm not on Twitter and he doesn't get any preferential treatment because he's an academy player. I think with confidence and the right system, he can step up because he has ability, nothing else.

I take you don't believe if they were allowed to by the FL and it made business sense that our current owners would franchise us?

 

[Captain Dart]

If this injury to McCann is keeps him out for some time then we will be bottom at Xmas.
Thereafter the prognosis isn't good, but there is a chance of revival in the transfer window.

I'm expecting relegation, the transfer policy has failed, except McCann all the prime targets were missed and the 2nd choices are inadequate or barely adequate.

 

[davebart]

In previous seasons when we were relegated you could tell straight away that it was going to be a long hard season. Do people get that feeling now?

Or is it just a matter of the players gelling and getting their first win?
