To be fair if any of the 3 get there grubby handn back on SFC after administration would be a bad thing. None of them have the funds or ability to make a difference so if we go into Admin I would want a fresh start completly and someone new in with drive and ambition. That said I really dont want us to go into admin either. I dont see it as a way out and only see it as a huge step backwards that would not rid us of the bad eggs we have in the club.

Seemed like it was going OK until we got a few injurys and the team forgot how to pass to each other. We were playing with our back ups who were just about good enough to do OK in this league, albeit with up and down results, and since the injurys the backups havn't been good enough. Dont know whats going on in training but the message just doesnt seem to be getting through.

wash your mouth out with soap!!!!!!!!

all 2 of them? I think you know my view that I would like to see the current lot absolutly no-where near our club so i dont think i am a luvie. but i still dont see an alternative to the current situation without some serious financial backing by way of either (hopefully) a take over or investment. Crap being a saint right now

think the plan is there for all to see. we are skint. we need a cheap manager. kids are being played as they are cheap and it was hoped they are good enough. target this season is to stay up. not sure whats more boring. people saying the above or people saying its all lowes fault

did he not get the ball past his head as he went to throw it?

Havn't you said that before? Your as repetitive as Alpine

blimey this board is a rollor coaster tonight 1 min we are all extatic cause we get a goal back and the next were slitting wrists. I do wish we could sort out are defensive issues that we have had for about 4 years now!!!

LMAO funniest post I have seen in a while

did we score? EDIT: WOOT!

tis what i meant

I think the 1st few games we did Ok and many argued that there was more in this team in 1 game then last years team in a whole season. But its all well and good playing nice passing football but when our problem defence last season is still the same problem with different personell this year the mood of the fans will be of no hope and therefor not much will to spend there dosh at the club. I mean 0-0 is a clean sheet but Barnsley hardly had an attack for us to deal with and when they finally did we didnt deal with it, we had to rely on there player missing the goal!!! If we kept clean sheets and in a confincing fasion that would at least give hope to the fans that we may nik a result because we are hard to beat. No good having a team that might score 5 when we have a defence that will let in 6

lol exactly

Surly that depends on weather the understudies can give a better performance than the so called stars?

Thing is the OS could hardly come out and say we got Jan cause he is cheap and we hope he can step up. We know its a huge step but if he doesnt make it we will have to shell out loads on a proper manager to fix his mistakes so for now he will have to do. Its obvious we only just have a team that may be able to crack the 4-3-3 formation and with injurys jan will have to change things to suit the players he has left. I agree with you that we will have to wait and see on that one though.

So how did WBA get up last season? Was is playing the type of football that Derby did the year before or was it passing attacking football with the ball on the ground and skillfull players? And I just dont get your last point at all. We are in the bottom 3 and are struggling to pick up any points yet you want us to go into administration now while we still have a chance of staying in the CCC????? How many points would we be deducted? How many of our best players would be gone in Jan? and for nothing like there probable value. If Lowe is acting like an administrator now its because we dont have the funds at the club to do anything different. At least doing it this way we can be at least a little bit more chosey on price for players and we can do it without the points deduction that would definatly put us into League 1.

He was an international in probably Holands best ever team yet they didnt win anything and his managment experience has hardly been anything to write a song about has it? I admit he knows a hell of a lot more than i do about football but that doesnt mean his decissions are right every time.

You and Roony are right though. Results improve and the gates will improve but if the playing staff is further effected by the lack of revenue there is less chance the results will improve which will result in even lower gates. no easy fix. Either the team start winning fast or we will continue to sink.

Good point. Last match I would blame the players as I cant see jan telling them to all go inside when this system depends on width. It may be a bit tough on the players because the 2 wide players are meant to be strikers so would naturally come inside. But due to injurys they were picked and we often hear the players say they will play anywhere as along as they play. BWP at least tried to stay wide some of the time. If this continues though the blame will firmly be with Jan for picking players that either cant or refuse to follow instructions.

Didnt McGoldrick play most of his games last season on the right? Him not playing well last match was because he was plank and had a tantrum at not being the center forward. Not disagreeing with you though. Contsant tampering will just cause us more problems. It seemed that after the 1st few games it was just 1 position that was being played with on the Right wing but get a few injurys and it seems like chaos selections.

To be fair Alps if the gates were 25,000 or above the club has more reason to tell other teams to get stuffed. With not so much revenue coming in the clubo will look at its assets as a way to ballence the books. Attention from Prem clubs will always turn the heads of young kids at any team and we are no different. The 2 scenarios I can see are: Club is skint + Prem interest = Kid gone Financially OK + Prem interest = Kid might go In all honestly I think we will find it difficult to keep hold of any player that gets prem interest but what worries me is how easy a decission it will be for the club to let people go.

I dont think anyone has there head burried in the sand. (or at least very few do) And I for one dont think that everything is OK. But I also havnt seen anyone come up with an alternative answer to our problems. We have no money and no-one realistically looking to invest. We are playing a team that wants to play for us and everyone else is free to go. Our gates are getting smaller each week and wont change unless the team start winning. Lowe will be here if he is in charge or not and that in its self will always cause problems off the pitch but wont change unless my 1st point changes. I would love the current set up to turn things round and do well but I would also love for some money to come into the club and get in the experience that is missing from this set up. has anyone got any suggestions on how to achieve this? Or shall we just continue to slate what is trying to be done without having a realistic argument on a fix?

Not comparing us as a team or club but if there fans were asked what they thought of there situation you would still find complainers due to them being in so much debt. There fans even went off and started a new football club didnt they??? but the point i was making could of used any team as its not just the fans that can make it to matches that count. bigger the fan base the bigger the revenue which means the more tha t can be spent on the team and club.
