Will it conveniently be a consistent rollover for all eternity? At what point will the trust pop up to say that they have been taking a 50% cut all along?
rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Launching a club lottery? Is it 1965? They really are pioneering new sports marketing ideas for the digital age. It's all gone a bit Brylcreem and halftime Woodbine. Next up, a football league insert in every programme, and Bobby Moore encourages you to play darts in your local pub. #nostalgia
trousers Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 The Pompey lottery? I thought that was another name for a night out at Gunwharf Keys. The pompey lottery is a hospital that lost out on investment because someone thought it was more important to keep a rancid football club alive rather than pay back more than 4p in the pound to the public purse.

No doubt, Admiral Awford will be provided with a sizeable, Nelson-sized war chest, and the money will be found from somewhere. You can see charity collecting boxes on newsagents' counters on the Septic Isle being chained down, giant cardboard cheques being dishonoured, and even more 'charity' bike rides which aren't for charity. You can also see the HNWs coughing up even more money and the share percentage owned by the bestest, biggest fan-owned trust in the world being diluted more than botox.

Saint Lindford Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Surely there can't be another set of bestest fans??? Relegation-threatened Birmingham City manager Lee Clark says that staying in the Championship on Saturday would reward the faith of their loyal fans. Although attendances have continued to drop at St Andrew's this season for a third successive year, the club's uncertain off-field future is a factor. Blues will be backed by a sell-out 3,500 away crowd at Bolton on Saturday. "We've got to keep fighting for these unbelievable fans. They never cease to amaze me," Clark told BBC WM 95.6.

Saint Lindford Posted 1 May, 2014 Posted 1 May, 2014 Found this comment on one of their forums. Not sure any Cherries fans would agree, come to think of it not many fans full stop would agree with it. AFC Bournemouth lost £15.3m in the financial year ending July 2013, the season in which they were promoted to the Championship Their Russian Owner has lent them c.£8 million Sounds a bit dodgy, rather be in our position anytime! Not sure any Cherries fans would agree with the last little comment, who would want to swap with a team who have just struggled all season to stay in the FL. LOL

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 May, 2014 Author Posted 2 May, 2014 So he wasn't up to the job in March? But he is now, on the back on some of the players pulling their socks up when they realised they were suddenly out of contract and in the spotlight. So has McInnes blundered again? Tune in next season for another episode in the P*mpey version of the Office.

Minty Posted 2 May, 2014 Posted 2 May, 2014 So, according to Awford the club "needs to be back in the Championship" but that might not be for 15 years... I would suggest that if it took that long then there is no 'need' to be in the Championship at all, because if they're not extinct after that long surviving in Leagues 1 or 2 (or lower) then they should (even them) have cut their cloth accordingly by that point.
rallyboy Posted 2 May, 2014 Posted 2 May, 2014 We have heard all of this before from Whittingham and his boss - and then the board started discovering additional revenue, utilising parachute cash, rethinking budgets etc, to speed up their inevitable return to the summit of the world game. I'll be convinced about the leopard changing it's spots when it stops sprinting about biting things.

Crazy Diamond Posted 2 May, 2014 Posted 2 May, 2014 I've said it before and I'll say it again. A few decent results (with their often-extended budget, the least they should be doing is beating a few also-rans in League Two) and he gets the job permanently. He then f*cks it up, they spiral into turmoil, before a caretaker is appointed and repeat.

Yep, what with a transfer fee embargo n'all, he'll be able to replace them with different out-of-contract journeymen. Although I'm sure the new lot will be the bestest this time round.

Dark Munster Posted 3 May, 2014 Posted 3 May, 2014 If they'd had the deserved 10 penalty this season, the last minute goal they conceded today would've sent them down. On the bright side I'm sure Awful can do us proud next season.
rallyboy Posted 3 May, 2014 Posted 3 May, 2014 Very good point Mr Munster - by writing off their penalty the FL actually kept them in the football league. Though, had they been -10 all season I would imagine they'd have given it up long ago and been about 15pts adrift. Either way, Bristol Rovers can say a big thank you to the erratic FL justice system.
positivepete Posted 4 May, 2014 Posted 4 May, 2014 Perhaps Rovers can join in the action with the relegated PL clubs. These clubs are citing the AFC Wimbledon points deduction this season and comparing it to the lack of points deductions for Sunderland.
