Not gonna lie, that's my biggest fear... if MR is here at the end of next season, we'll be up
As long as enough fans buy season tickets to make us competitive I am hopeful of a positive season.
Robins and the fans money is the key.
Given half the squad is leaving, only MR is actually 'in place'...& until we see who comes in - how can you possibly be so optimistic?is anyone else watching this and thinking we'll be alright next season?
3/4 of the sides relegated are currently in the top 7, and Blackpool are an arguably worse basket case than ourselves and at the start of the season had less of a squad than we'll have.
I reckon with MR in now we're better prepared and actually quite confident about next season.
PUSB!
I get that, I was optimistic the last 2 relegations aswell. As I previously said though, first season in league one we had thorn/shaw for the first 10, had a 10 point deduction and arguable had the chance to make the play offs, second season we were going well until Wilson was injured and Leon left.Given half the squad is leaving, only MR is actually 'in place'...& until we see who comes in - how can you possibly be so optimistic?
Many of us were when we were relegated last time, & the time before that! MR is the only difference atm

I trust Robins to put a competitive league 2 side together, and look at Blackpool, they didn't have a squad until the start of the season and still made the play offs. That in itself gives me optimism

All guesswork.
I've got no idea if we will do well or not.
Surely we've seen that the budget in itself is meaningless? It's how you use it or are allowed to use it that counts.not too many teams will have a bigger budget than us

its not meaningless. we had a mid table budget last season (according to TF) and blew it, resulting in 3 managers . This season we will have a higher budget and MR. With a bit of luck, we could be easily challenging for the top spots
And this perfectly explains why you lost your job as a TV pundit.All guesswork.

I know SISU fuck it up every summer (all the time to be fair...) but something just feels different with Robins in charge. Can't wait for the season already.
So you are saying "Yes" you trust 'them' to?we will get more season ticket holders than most in the league. MR asked for bums on seats as it helps the budget. We will get what we deserve, which in this instance will be a very competitive budget.
Also, both recent relegations have come with a habit of losing. This one hasn't, that may well make a difference
So you are saying "Yes" you trust 'them' to?
Maybe the leopard will changes its spots, I shall not hold my breath

Another team who last time I saw them play was in a non league game against VS Rugby. Never thought at the time that I'd see these type teams playing against Coventry. And that's a sign of how far we've fallen as much as they've moved up. Makes me wonder how long it will be before we meet VS and wether that's because VS is rising or City are falling.
Not for a while, VS now under the name of rugby town got relegated too this season. Poor decisions at boardroom level seen there collapse to levels they have not been at for a number of years.
I didn't think myself when watching VS beat clubs like Cheltenham, Burton and Forest Green would be in the same league or levels above one day.

It's got to be automatic promotion, three go up, we must be one of them.I've not felt this confident of a good season for years. Robins is the only reason for that. I was so pissed off when he left with his 'Sky Blue Blood' but he's shown enough in his last spell and this one, that he knows what he's doing at this club.
I'm still gobsmacked that he came back to be honest so he must have known what his budget would be for next season if we got relegated.
As Steve82 says, if we can do some decent business before they report for preseason training, I think attendances will rise on the back of a good start and give him more cash to spend in January for the final push.

Great story of how a club can go pop and return, too.I'm glad Newport stayed up. Nice close away day for me. Shithole though.
They assured Tony Mowbray he would be given the tools to do the job, he just didn't realiseThe good people of SISU have assured Robins that he'll be given the tools to do the job and when have they ever let us down with promises before?.
Heart says definitely autos. Head says wait and see what the summer brings in terms of recruitment.
Even so...surely we can at last watch a promotion
