I would be interested to see how we did with a fully fit squad that we had now with a year together playing.
my concern is that well sell more assets and back to square one, we have a habit of not replacing quality with quality but maybe buy two players (or loan) of lesser quality which demonstrates the slide down the table year after year.I'd be more confident about next season than I have been for a while, as much because we either already have the players, or we'll get cash for them if they go.
Don't get me wrong, precedent says if we stay down we'll be shite, but precedent says we don't do promotions anyway!
You'd think Bayliss is as good as gone, and maybe McNulty. Wouldn't want either gone, but that's probably realistic and inevitable. If, however, they went but we couldn't hold onto the others (Willis seems to just be settled here and not particularly concerned about moving?) you'd have to worry.my concern is that well sell more assets and back to square one, we have a habit of not replacing quality with quality but maybe buy two players (or loan) of lesser quality which demonstrates the slide down the table year after year.

And sure, McNulty's goals would be a hole to fill, but then that's what most managers find themselves having to do. And having brought in McGoldrick, the Clarke in his first spell, and also bringing in McNulty it seems that, although Robins is no massive fan of fluid attacking football, he does know a good striker when he sees one.
I know McNulty has another year, that doesn't invalidate my opinion.McNulty still have year left on his contract and would command a decent fee for us to even consider.
With Bayliss we have no option.
Football clubs are not businesses, most of them lose money and are financed by wealthy individuals.
Look at the figures here, there are as many clubs losing money than making it.. lower divisions are similar with smaller numbers.
Premier League finances: the full club-by-club breakdown and verdict
You do know we had hardly any players in the summer after all the departures? He had no choice but to fill the squad, and our squad only looks bigger because the academy players fill it!16 if you want to include Pearson. 11 permanent signings (12 if JCH signs permanently), is certainly above average in the league. Most teams would be signing 10 including loans, we’ve only signed 4 loan players all year.
Or more likely its a mixture of the two but we can absolve the manager of any failures and just blame Sisu.Two possibilities:
1. Every manager has underachieved during every season under SISU, or
2. SISU (and their stooges) regularly lie to fans about the level of financial support they have given our managers.
You can choose to believe 1 if you like but I think all the available evidence points to 2.

End of....Forget all the bollocks above no we are clearly underachieving at present!
question answered close thread!
End of....
They are the common denominator. Don’t think we absolve all managers of blame. Thorn, Slade, Coleman and Boothroyd were all failures due to being inept at their job IMO. I wouldn’t never say that they failed solely because of the owners. I would say that Pressley and Mowbray were deeply effected by the owners, in SP’s case I think the futility of our situation under these owners wore him down and he lost his way. I don’t care what people say but under Mowbray the wheels came of with the decision to relieve Waggot of his duties and replace him with Anderson and it started the minute Anderson arrived and that was the owners decision. Is Robins about to crash and burn? Who knows but what we do know is that we’re self sufficient so he gets support from the owners when other managers do so they’re a negative.Or more likely its a mixture of the two but we can absolve the manager of any failures and just blame Sisu.
Looking back at our managers since sisu, I don't think any of them have gone on to be a success at another club since leaving us, albeit Mowbray is doing well with the biggest budget in league one.

Apart from being rather dull to watch I can't entirely agree re Boothroyd .They are the common denominator. Don’t think we absolve all managers of blame.

Leave Grendal and torch out of thisNo, I pointed out you had changed your stance on them. It's fact.
You aren't questioning anybody from what I can see either.
You can try and play that line though if you want if it gets you and the other mouth breathing sheep worked up.
Apart from being rather dull to watch I can't entirely agree re Boothroyd .
The upheaval in the boardroom surfaced during that January coupled to the signing King saga .
Turners injury V Leeds topping things off.
