you think we'll keep these players forever? It common knowledge that any monies received will be used to pay bills. League 1 business model.

Where did I say that? I just take half the stuff I read on here with a pinch of salt, if you were an outsider reading this forum you’d think the club was about to go to the wall any minute

 

[Evo1883]

I'd guess that 20 teams have better squads than us, maybe we have a decent 'best 11', but after that we aren't very good.

I reckon you're talking a bit wet mate , 12th placed finish ,teams been added to , now 20th best ?

Lie down bud , you were better when you were wumming

I think they also had Huddersfield for relegation last season

We've got players on massive wages that we can't afford, so i'd say it's not unreasonable to think we'll hit financial trouble and slip back down the leagues again. Also, we have no ground and a shit training ground.

 

[Evo1883]

Fucking Neil warnock he's retired no .

We once signed Garry Collier for one of the highest ever fees for a centre half - he played 2 games

well we don’t know any of that is accurate

First time i've reeled you in to be fair, it was fun x

The guy recruiting at blackburn was head of recruitment at Norwich.. il take his view over yours

So Sam mccallum is a success at Norwich?

 

[Evo1883]

So Sam mccallum is a success at Norwich?

About 99% of their other championship transfers have been pretty damn good .. moving on


But but but , Sam mccallum

Lad won young player of the season at QPR last season didn't he ?

 

[long way home]

In my opinion Dyche fits Stoke, but would not be shocked if they took a run at Robbins and AV.

 

[Moff]

when we get going? We are 2-3 injuries away from a league 1 team, our 'squad' is threadbare The arrogance among our fans is ridiculous.

Is it arrogance that other people don’t have your negative outlook?

 

[Moff]

Fuck me G, that’s scraping the barrel.

As you like to deride McCallum, he could be used as an example against what you are saying, we signed him for free he was a success snd we made a tidy profit.

For every failure you can draw out a success.

 

[Greggs]

It's unrealistic to think a team with a league 1 business model and wage bill can survive in the Championship long term. We have massively over achieved expectations in the last 2 years and to think that can continue would make you deluded. I would say i'm more realistic than negative.

 

[Evo1883]

well we don’t know any of that is accurate

We know that it's less than 2.5 now tbf

 

[Moff]

I don’t see it myself.

All the comments about them being a club run by wealthy backers….well it’s hardly done them much good since relegation has it, and they are trigger happpy re manager retention.

Ive always been very positive about McCallum here but when he signed for Norwich it didn’t instantly make him good

Ben Stevenson signed for wolves, George Thomas signed for Leicester both for reasonable fees. Success?

Norwich have been quite excellent in the market at this level in recent years .. they were promoted the season after the got Sam and loaned him to QPR ? where he won YPOTS

I don’t think it’s deluded ,at the current time, to see the club as one that can survive in the Championship.

I would say I’m more realistic than positive.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Because he's an excellent coach with no managerial experience, and his career suggests he enjoys coaching rather than managing?

So was Mikel Arteta

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Nope, he was gaining experience with a view to becoming a manager.

No they weren’t a success, and I wouldn’t disagree on that.

I was more looking at the point you made about the cost of each to the club, Collier who was expensive failed, and McCallum who was free was a success.

Lol that list has lost all its credibility if Darren Ferguson is 5th favorite. almost choked lol

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Don’t really see what’s so funny about someone saying Stoke will be in a relegation battle to be fair

I think their squad is dire and he’s right, they have been on a year on year decline since they were relegated

Dont you be agreeing with me...Grendel and arse licks know best.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

They have squadered so much money in recent years is there any left?

If he goes Veavash will go too. He though long and hard about his new contract and perhaps needss a new challenge?

Grendel has some ex Portsmouth manager waiting in the wings so don't panic

O Neil as manager another big expensive failure. And now a pay off for him. Stoke are fucked. Be interesting to see who gos there.

* Robins

 

[Sick Boy]

Thats not what I said though is it - Stoke are a poor side and them being in a relegation battle isn’t exactly an ‘out there’ call

Considering they finished 2 points behind us last season, would you say we’re a poor side?

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Stoke is closer to Belper than Coventry

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Somebody really thinks it’s going to be Alex Neil! 50/1 into 7/4 favourite, on a rolling 12 month contract similar to Robins I believe…

 

[SkyblueDad]

Perhaps if Robins doesn’t go to Stoke there is something more to come about the rumoured takeover
