Neither am I. But it would be better if it is between the prem and championship. We have never been a yo-yo club unless we’re on a bloody long piece of string!

We have never been a yo-yo club unless we’re on a bloody long piece of string!I said last season, I'm not against us becoming a yo-yo club for a few years until we can stabilise at a higher level. Obviously, there are no guarantees when you go down that you'll come back up (as past history shows!), but the principle of it is sound. Keep building, getting better, little by little. That said, I was optimistic we'd compete pre-season. Less so now. I don't think we're one of the three worst clubs, but we're amongst the worst in terms of results thus far, so we must be in with a shout of going down.

By on large this league tends to be determined by budget, with the odd exception at ether end, so the three promoted teams, and the two that finished just above the bottom three the season before (us and Luton). Are always in the mix, then you’ve got the teams walking a financial tightrope, Wensdeh, Derby, T’uddersfield, Birmingham, Blackburn & QPR. One of them six could end up with their comeuppance for years of over spending and disregarding financial fair play rules.
It’s changed now if you look at last season table.Correlation between wages and position actually isn’t that strong, certainly compared to the Prem. I was quite surprised

Thats pretty old I think now it’s far more predictable certainly with small spending clubs
I wouldn’t be surprised. As you know I think we don’t have the budget to compete in this league. But as that was the only evidence I could find thought it was interesting it went the other way.
Regardless of squads we don’t want to be down again attempting to come back we’ve been there before coming out the premiership I thought we would bounce back,stick in the mix till jan and possibly bring 2 players in who can a difference maybe a defender & target man gets my vote.Assuming we get relegated is it safe to say we should be able to keep the squad together to have another go at promotion next season?

We surely have to get a couple in the January window ? SISU will have to back robins I feelUnlikely as we’d lose £5 million in TV money
How can they provide extra revenue when they are hardly getting any income? Financial fair play prevents any additional revenues being pumped in.We surely have to get a couple in the January window ? SISU will have to back robins I feel

We aren’t better than 3 teams in this league.
If we were being ruthless I’d be straight on the phone to Paul Cook personally, but think every Cov fan agrees Robin deserves the benefit of the doubt just by the amount he has done for us.I agree with you at the moment, but you have the second youngest squad in the league, and it’s a new league to them, it takes time to adjust, but young players are learning and improving on a daily basis and game by game, your problem in my opinion is that your manager isn’t good enough at this level and he’ll always struggle no matter what players he as.

I would have liked Cook here but understood that it would never happen. I see what you mean but you have to be ruthless at times, in a couple of weeks Derby will be looking for a new manager, if you’d set the league alight and he’d have been on their radar he be off like a shot. Loyalty left football years ago.If we were being ruthless I’d be straight on the phone to Paul Cook personally, but think every Cov fan agrees Robin deserves the benefit of the doubt just by the amount he has done for us.
I always thought he did okay at Barnsley? What’s the view on him?

Ooh this won’t go well
Eddie Howe looked well out his depth at Burnley but then went back to Bournemouth and had quite a few season of them being successful until last year. Different situations result in different outcomes.
Eh Up Barnsley! you sound just like the fat controller from GillinghamI would have liked Cook here but understood that it would never happen.

I’ve always thought he’s a whingeing wanker. Always moaning about what he hasn’t got and looking for excuses, rather than concentrating on what he has got and getting the best out of it.

lol his record at Burnley was the same as his second spell at Bournemouth
His time at Burnley was in the Championship, most of his second spell at Bournemouth was PL.
Also at Burnley they'd just been relegated from the PL and were (possibly unfairly) expected to be challenging for promotion due to that money, parachute payments and improved squad. It's widely thought he underperformed to expectations with what he had available to him.
Bournemouth had decent backing but weren't expected to go up when they did. They certainly weren't expected to survive but they did and performed pretty well up to last season overall when it fell apart because his attacking players weren't scoring (he's always conceded quite a lot of goals).
I did think Derby would go down but they will spend money and probably get a few loans signings in January, Sheffield Wednesday would be 7th without the pints deduction so I think I will rule those out. Wycombe will probably go down but I do think there direct approach will get them a few points. Potentially Rotherham will finish below us also but they don't look too bad recently. Thinking about it I don't think we will come last but I can't see three teams picking up less points than us, we play better football than a lot of teams but we are naïve and defensively weak.
Shitfield Wensdeh would be 20th without their deduction.
What’s changed for Barnsley under the new manager? Only 2 teams with better point returns over the last 6
Against us it looked like you wouldn’t score if you played all night
