City 7/1 to be relegated (2 Viewers)

[Otis]

Would say they are very decent odds to be honest.

Think we all accept in our heart of hearts that if we groundshare elsewhere we are going to struggle.

Colchester favourites at 5/4 for the drop.

[ccfctommy]

We won't get relegated.

 

[Otis]

Why do you say that?

Even if we groundshare and are playing in front of 2,000 fans?

 

[ajsccfc]

I don't feel we're in any real danger of relegation unless there's a mass exodus still to come, but you can see why we'd get those odds with the storm of bullshit the football team appears to be lost in.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

What's our odds on winning the league ?

 

[Otis]

Well I'm convinced we will lose players.

Can well see Baker and Leon Clarke going and others too.

The mess off the field doesn't exactly encourage players to want to come and play for this club does it.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What are the odds for not competing in the league?

Methinks Otis has the right of it.
If SISU stay, we will be back to where we sere in our relegation season playing with academy players, no-one new coming in thanks to the embargo, the entire club depressed at what is going on, a new manager that I have very little confidence in who's entire strategy seems to be bringing in youth and passing sideways etc.
I am very worried that if things do not change we are indeed going to be relegated.

We've all heard that one before mate

Would be like playing away every week which last season we did well. It's the season after next that I would worry more about.

A lot of our academy kids will be good enough for league 1, but agree we need to keep a spine of experience. Whatever happens we will have to sell due to FFP.

 

[oldskyblue58]

Having seen the academy a few times last season I wouldnt say it was as strong as in the previous seasons to that. Plus in League 1 a lot of it is about physical strength and strong mental attitude.... young lads are not going to give you that consistently.

It is going to be a tough season I think but not sure we will get relegated ...... as it stands I dont see us in the top half though

What, your concerned about "League Two On Tour"

 

[skybluesam66]

7/1 will be a steal if we end up with further points deduction
It would then be odds on

 

[ccfcway]

7/1 is a good bet.

We only need Baker to be sold and Clarke to be injured and what are we left with ?

-------------------Murphy,-------------------------
Christie-------Edge---------Willis--------Adams
--------Bell--------Barton-----Thomas----------
--------------Moussa-----Fleck-------------------
--------------------Wilson-------------------------

Subs: Jordan Clarke and then the kids

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I still reckon we can win the double (L1 & JPT)

Good point.

Quite possible we could have a further points reduction for sure.

So were going to sign no players at all? Nah.

Tis also said that 6 further players have been told they can go.

What happens if we are forced to play these players because we're still in admin?

 

[ccfcway]

So were going to sign no players at all? Nah.

still in administration, still have an embargo, no crowd or season tickets mean we wil need to reduce wage bill even further. many 1st teamers Pressley doesnt want (according to TF).

We cant sign anyone at the moment, but agreed, we MAY sign a few if we can.

Still think even without points deduction, we will be nearer the bottom than top

Exactly.

Definitely worth a nibble at those odds.

 

[Sisued]

Surely under the FFP we'll only be able to field a 3 legged dog and David Bell

I would hazard a guess that if McSheff has gone, David Bell is now prob our top earner !

What price is the dog to be our top scorer?

 

[Jack Griffin]

We won't get relegated.

Relegation would suit SISU, less overheads to fund.

damn....must eat less pies

 

[RoboCCFC90]

No I am being serious, if we can keep Leon "Goal Machine" Clarke fit and with the right service and tighten up at the back in front of Murphy we'll be fine..

Also while we are at it:
Having a stadium to play in
Having a kit to play in
Having fans to cheer the team on
Coming out this embargo so we can sign players
And having a reliable party of owners would help..

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

If we groundshare, I think relegation is almost a certainity.

Playing away all season is hard enough and very low motivation from the players will make it desperate.

 

[Sub]

What price is the dog to be our top scorer?

david bells odds are 1-7for top goal scorer but i think it means he might play 1 in seven games before injury or worse 1-7 minutes before being injured!!!

 

[Hobo]

What price is the dog to be our top scorer?

My Staffie Rico and my Patterdale Terrier Roxy will work their socks off in midfield. Energetic, combative, with the ability to retain possession. Distribution may be a problem? I can also see a spiralling cost on the match ball account and a few bookings/red cards for Saurez bitting!

Unfortunately the 3 legged dog has been snapped up by Northampton Town as it was the groundsmans dog who used to car share with..... Aidy Boothroyd
