Then each relegated club from the Premier, Championship and league one could make the same case, poor argument.

 

Southend chairman Ron Martin said it was "fundamentally against the pyramid system" to allow promotion from the National League but not relegation.

But isn't that the same thing he's hoping for in league 2? Promotion but no relegation?! Seems a bit of hypocrisy...

 

I have seen enough thank god this season is over after this game... T&S thankyou for pulling us out of the doghouse but it is time to go. New manager in please sparks.

 

Consistently gets results though, 3 promotions in Scotland and England already on his c.v. and guided Morecambe to their highest position in their history, whats not to like?

 

That makes us sound quite good compared to 1 point from the last 21 available.

 

Why bring on two 19 year old when you can bring on one 38 year old.

Maths.

 

Think that’s the last we will see of Wood.

 

All this momentum powering us into next season is making me feel a bit giddy.

 

But we can’t get rid of Clarke! He loves it here.

 

A lot of the players we let go seem to do alright ,knight percival ,Mellor ,Doyle and Vaughan even Riley and Patrick. If watt and wood go they will be in promotion teams with somebody ,and we will be getting another bunch of players who don’t do it for us ,something is not right

 

Parky ain’t coming back. Forget that one.

 

Be nice to go young and forward thinking for a change. Someone like Ian Evatt who went to bolton and has built a side from nothing to achieve auto promotion at his first hit. I hope we are scouting out potential new managers

 

I agree entirely, think we approached it all wrong, think we wanted to get through the season spending as little as possible just to get through, hence there was a lot to spend in January and we had to because we were going down...and on the last 10 games would have been also.

 

Precisely. It's up to the manager(s) to maintain discipline. If some players have been "going through the motions", they should have been sidelined. In a scenario like that, before you know it, the malaise goes through the rest of the team - which is exactly what's happened.

 

steve evans , will never be offered the job at city. did he not get charged by the fa for abusing a female member of staff after the great punch up odious little man and his side kick raynor is even worse.

 

I don't for one second think it'd happen, I agree.

 

Another overhaul needed but at some point we've got to get it right. I'd like to get rid of all the players who came down from league 1 or have relegation on their CV. Kiwomya was right in the interview, get players in who've won promotions and know how to do it. We've too many who drop their heads when the going gets tough.

 

Never again will I trust anyone who says that they will only bring in players that have the right attitude and fit for our Club...well they didn't and have failed at the first hurdle in my opinion. Compounded by the involvement of Turnbull. Will be interesting to hear from Sparks if he has to defend these appointments.

 

I listened to a podcast with Martin Allen and he was talking about when he had gone to a new club can't remember which team. He basically said that when he arrived the whole club needed to change its mentality from negative cheap and crap club ie they had bibs but they were crap, they had the training facilities but they were crap. I feel like we have had that for a while the whole mentality of the club including fans is negative on the whole. Don't get me wrong I'm not blaming fans the stuff we have seen has been poor it has to be driven by the club and unfortunately it does cost money. They need to commit and not accept anyone bringing the place down.
