    Just you wait. Rahic damage done to the club was 5 years worth. We are nearly there for that millstone to go from around our neck. Then We will be out of this league as champions by Christmas

    You joke but I think we all know a few on here will peddle this or similar out at some point in defence of failure.

    I was being sarcastic, this season has been an utter disaster form the very first day due to our ex CEO and our wonderful owner making no attempt to get promoted. Thankfully one has gone but the other shiester is still here, now overseeing a lower half finish in league 2. But hey at least the offices have been painted. Which is nice.

    We are not failing according to them.We are a million miles from succeeding at owt but we are definitely not failing.
    I’m just glad we avoided relegation and we’ve got a team...............etc. repeat to fade.

    Let Southend be a warning to us. Scunthorpe just survived and we were heading for the exit. You have to stop the slide or it might be us next season.

    Have some hope, Look at Brighton, Ground sold under them and homeless, Had to play at an old run down athletic stadium, And now in a superb stadium and in the Premier League, All it took was a man at the top who had ambition,Drive and money, Unfortunately we have none of these at the moment but things can change so keep the faith

    The loss which Brighton made in 2019/20 referred to by @Tony Wilkinson@Tony Wilkinson was after Brighton had received more than £100mill from Sky. Even after taking out the impact of Covid, Brighton said they would have made a loss of over £40mill! It shows that even at the PL level some clubs still need access to funders with deep pockets. It's just another example of footballing madness.

    It illustrates well why the other 14 clubs were shit scared of the ESL proposal. They couldn't survive in their current guise if the Big 6 were to establish the ESL and take a slice of TV broadcasting revenue with them. Their opposition to the ESL was in their own self interest.

    The outgoings in January was a success. Momentum.

    In hindsight, the incomings were so so in my opinion. Can the signings on a permanent contract basis, evolve into first team players? Jury is out IMO.

    Our summer signings need to have more of an impact in the short term especially if some our of OOC players, do not stay.

    Today was a good point against a very good side who are always a dangerous opponent. Something like that.

    Just out of interested why do yo think the club is slowly coming back?

    we will finish the season in the bottom half of div 2.

    We have a novice CEO.

    A novice management team.

    An owner that's not interested.

    What makes you think the club is coming back? I am not saying you are wrong. I just want to know why you think this.
