But the same scenario occurred, irrespective. Decline

 

He did in 2016, 2017 and 2018, 2019 and yet the same problems seem to replicate. I bet he has spent a lot less than aforementioned years and despite the claim this is the best transfer window in a while, that's just a wild guess at this stage. Nothing to conclude that this group of players is good enough to get us PROMOTED.

 

I wish we were 18th in the Khazi League.

We're actually 20th, just 8 points of EFL annihilation.

 

My mistake. Yet some talk of promotion.

 

According to Sparks the club itself has funded most of it, he said it in an interview the other day.

 

We’ve only lost 1 game under these two after taking 18 points from the previous 8. Hardly looking like a false dawn.

 

Have a link for that? If true thats poor from Rupp.

 

We've got similar stadiums that by design will create a good atmosphere. If we stay at Valley Parade and get an owner interested in buying it back and investing in it I'd like to see the T L DALLAS Stand pulled down (sorry T L Dallas) and a new stand built linking the Midland Road and a completed Main Stand. We could probably take out some of the rows of seats open to the elements in the kop and still have a capacity of 30,000.
I love to dream.

 

No I've never seen them.

 

I'll see if I can find them. BFG wanted to shut the road that goes past the club shop so he could take the main stand and eventually take it around the corner but the council refused him permission which to be fair was probably for the best, even though I hate how the main stand looks half finished. It would have also led to the demolition of the offices in the corner which to be fair make the ground look an eyesore in that corner.

 

I could cry, reading that. Feels like yesterday.

 

Aye. And the council has a huge amount to answer for. The city has been allowed to die on its arse. I don't think I'll be a native for too much longer.

 

The six weeks of madness was after Jewell left and Richmond did a Rahic and became a football manager. Not beating Liverpool and getting relegated wouldn’t have prevented the financial meltdown. The building of all the new stands Northwest corner, upper tier crippled the club and we were committed to those projects plus Richmond would have gone crazy buying players to get us back up and we’d have lost out on another year of Premier league tv money. Your right though in saying the Richmond years were fantastic and gave us hope and pride and we should have been in a position to be a club like Norwich, a good championship side and an occasional premier league team.

 

Good start though. And even at Exeter, for all their possession we could have won that game although that would have been cruel on them.

 

If they had been without Boden like we were without Rowe Cook or Novak I doubt Exeter would have won

 

Gordon Gibb was very smart doing what he did. That pension fund has done very well out of the arrangement and I'll bet the rent we have paid over the years won't be taken into account should we ever look into buying back the ground.

 

We have strengthened but we needed to strengthen didn’t you notice where we were before January. Lots of people on here were planning for the national league. The window was fantastic compared to previous windows and has laid the foundation for us to be safe this season and kick on and if we do better than that great.

 

Fair play to him, wish i was that business savvy.

 

As a club, we've had more than enough time to get our shit together. We have to create a compelling alternative to extending the lease, in order to drive a meaningful and realistic discussion around buying the ground back. Won't happen though.
