Wanting your own team to lose is a strange thing to suggest, I agree. But there is a logic to it as those saying so are thinking 'Short term pain, long term gain' if it were to mean a new manager who knew what he was doing. The 3 points lost today would mean a greater points total by the end...

Correct. It seems that we are stuck with this hapless manager whatever happens. If they haven't sacked him by now, why would they? It seems nobody actually wants to come here either so the squad is going to be woefully weak. Losing to yet another struggling team will show we are going...

Potential outcomes are not difficult to forecast. Sisu's win-loss ratio is considerably worse than Pressley's. W:0 D:0 L:the rest.

All this means is that we now have "Hopeless Sisu court case for 2014-15" to be followed by "Hopeless Sisu court case for 2015-16." So - no funds available to strengthen team for a promotion push out of League 2 next season.

That wasn't Suckling. It was Steve Murcott who replaced Jim Blyth who got injured in the warm-up against Norwich. He had played for the Youth team at Ryton in the morning. He kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win but never played again for us. Went off the rails, I seem to recall.

The problem with what you say is that you are looking at it from the wrong direction. You say we have a football team reflective of our support. But surely we have support that is reflective of our football team. Almost two out of three fans who turned up in the first Ricoh season don't go...

I think the OP has got it spot on. The majority of fans are simply bored stiff with all the off-field nonsense. They just want to see a decent team, and for it to be given a chance to succeed with decent management and getting in a few decent players. The usual halfwit Sisu apologists may...

Yes, I agree, it's always been the case. I just wonder why we still have apologists here for the people running it into the ground.

Hey! We could be competing in Europe!! Who said Sisu were bad for the club?

A classic case of fiddling while Rome burns. Why can't these idiots just concentrate on doing something to help this dying club?

The club's mad obsession with litigation simply alienates more fans. The perception that the club's money is being pissed away on hopeless law suits is bound to drive more people away. I am sick of all this rubbish detracting from what a football club is all about and it is just another reason...

Why should we worry? Dave Beasant has been on the bench at Stevenage at the age of 55. How old is Oggy.....57, I reckon. What could possibly go wrong?

Correct. This idiotic idea that Pressley should stay because we have sacked too many managers in the past is a farce. The reason managers have been replaced is that they have failed. The problem has been that we have invariably appointed another sap who has been as bad or worse. The only...

The third goal was irrelevant really. You can't blame anyone for being caught upfield when you are chasing the game in injury time. I can recall occasions when I've criticised them for NOT chasing a game when a goal down late on at the Ricoh, as if they are playing for a one goal defeat. The...

Yes, I take your point. I would not presume to tell anyone whether to renew or not, that is a decision for them. The problem for the club is that the performances and lack of ambition are doing the persuading. Around where I sit there are not many who are planning to renew next season and...

I think that everything has to ultimately come down to SISU on the old adage that "The Buck Stops Here". I agree that having a new manager every year or so is not a sound policy, but the reason for that is the managers they appoint are invariably poor. We simply don't attract decent...

No point in ST holders boycotting the games. The difficulty is actually being arsed to go to games you have already paid for. We will see at the start of next season how many have decided on a permanent boycott.

Prood o' the groop!

He was on TV the other week talking about Walsall's win in the JPT which may see them get to Wembley. Fair play to him, he was wearing a City jumper.

It is hard to go from supporting to not supporting, as you say. But many, many City fans had that decision forced upon them last season when the team was dumped in Northampton. Many of those who returned this season are finding that it's not the same any more. I seriously believe that...
