    Quite right, but it doesn't mean everyone has managed the situation sensibly or correctly.

    It's hardly a sport full of frugal owners - apart from us of course!

    To be fair achievements are all subjective. Nobody is obligated to rate what he has done.

    It all boils down to perspective I guess. You clearly rate McCall’s managerial ‘achievements’ higher than others. Personally, I don’t think it’s unfair to think label him as “abysmal” when the football we’re playing is exactly that.

    His contract runs until June 30 2021 not Feb 1st, however I don’t think he will survive the season.

    Eh?

    No.

    But people absolutely say daft stuff like 'I could accept a season if' and then add qualifications such as 'we we're building like other successful League Two sides", but it's nonsense.

    No chance.

    We were dire today, all across the pitch and it doesn't look like getting better with McCall not accepting that his playing style doesn't work with this shower but you my friend are no better. You find a sarcastic way of having a pop at one of the few decent players we have got even though he wasn't even playing.

    Not having a pop but at best he would be a sub in a promotion winning team
    That's how much our side has deteriorated our better players should be capable of holding their own in L1 and sadly Billy wouldn't be

    Most of what you say there is near the truth except the reference to Accrington, most of our players are not good enough for them because they are a top half of League One club.

    It's hard to disagree with Tim Penfold's write up on WOAP.

    It reads like a threat. The Moderator doesn't do something I will be contacting the police. You can be assured of that.

    I think you will find that I will get their attention. What I need to do now is stop the conversation, capture the screen shots and draft the submission. I have reached out to the moderator. 1975CityGents details will be held on record. We will take it from there.

    It was actually my albeit clumsy way of trying to take the heat out of the situation. We are all hacked off with the situation and like you it has been a sht day for all of us. At the end of the day we are all on here because we care.

    I'm afraid you have at least got your wish, I'm done with all this. Some people are prepared to dish it out but can't take it
    With two years to retirement this is the last thing I need. That's me finished with this forum.

    Valid response. You apologised if it was Missinterpreted. That’s not a threat in my books
