Gone a bit rogue on my acca.
Thrown a big pound at it.

 

The addition of another half decent forward and I'm around 7.5. As it stands I'm about a 6, because I think we're going to struggle to score enough goals to be an automatic promotion contender. I don't think we can expect Cook to play every league game in a long, attritional and arduous season and I can't see a lot of goals coming from elsewhere. Angol's going to have to become a player that none of his previous clubs has seen in recent seasons in terms of goals to make a significant difference.

It's a shame that Rowe isn't still a City player (assuming that he was an Adams type player in both style and attitude) as then I'd have been very positive. A combination of Cook and Rowe in the same squad, lessening the workload for each other might have worked really well.

 

I can dream

 

That I don't doubt Kevin.

That said, I can only judge as per my personal experiences. I have had it relatively good (stadium, attendances, some damn good teams, facilities et al).
I like to look at the situation as it is now. As I say based upon our recent issues, we are at a relative low....

 

I cant see past Salford for Champions

 

Don't the bookies say that every year?

 

Why? Money?

 

Step forward the person who voted for relegation.

name your odds and I’ll have £100 on it.

 

Obviously works though Kevin. Scunny splashed the cash for 2/3 seasons and it got them out of div 1. Likewise, the german guy running a Yorkshire outfit used his impressive budget to get them out of the same division.

 

Eh! You think we will be relegated?

 

We are 18’s to get relegated.
Salford are only 33’s

 

Same as last year then

 

No I absolutely dont! I want the person who thinks we will be to name their odds for us to stay up and I’ll have £100 on it

 

You misread my thoughts Kevin. The Yorkshire team I was thinking of was run by a German, not coached by one. The German coach had a budget that made them favourites to go down, not make it up to the prem. Shows that organisation is perhaps more important than money alone.

 

That’s like saying if you earn £100k a year you’ll only buy a modest house and car ‘just in case’ of hard times.

The problem with football is that contracts are deemed priority debt and if not paid the EFL / PL take away your status whereas in normal business a company would simply make staff redundant, form a new company then re-hire them all

maybe it’s time for football contracts to be limited to 2 years

 

Not like that at all, way off beam. Bricks and mortar is an investment . Since when has it been any different. give or take minor market fluctuations. If you see hard times you sell bricks and mortar at PROFIT. I’ve you are coming back with “it’s like” use one with a bit closer to reality

 

I know and my post was intended to agree with you by pointing out how much Scunny and ourselves spent to get out of div 1 which we both succeeded in doing. Please don't get like a poster on here who sees other posts as a personal affront even when their clarity isn't all as they should be.

 

Bad day?

 

True, but with wage cap lifted and a side improved on last year, money can make a difference this year when compared to others
