Quite simply how much will it cost to be back in CCC within 2 years?

Will we buy players to get promoted then buy new for CCC & prem push?

 

I think that a battle fit CM is a must buy I wish Jimmy Case was about 22 years younger or CMFG was 7 years younger

To get back into the Championship.

 

A big name manager.

 

£5m tops on players.

 

Some shred purchases of older heads with experience.

 

I think the majority of the outlay will be on wages as opposed to transfer fees.

 

You can pick up some very good players for nout, as long as you pay them.

Don't really see why we couldn't win promotion with or current squad.

 

Davis, Perry, and Wotton, assuming we keep them all, would make an excellent, experienced "spine" of the team, and we have some good younger players who got valuable experience last season -- James, Mills, Holmes, Lallana, McGoldrick for example -- who should be capable of shining in League 1.

 

It'd be great if we could get Saeijs in, and keep Schneiderlin & BWP, & perhaps even Euell; but there is the core of a very strong squad I think, by L1 standards.

Loads. No chance of promotion next season so it will just be a case of bedding in a few more youngsters (McLaggon and Mills imo) alongside the few who stood out last season (Gillett, James and McGoldrick) then spending money on the positions which need strengthening.

 

Personally I'd sign Size up if he wants to come and sign a striker. Let the squad have a season together and then next summer spend a decent wedge getting in players we need.

 

Then getting promoted from the Championship would take about 3-4 more seasons of continued investment.

Not that much, unless you think S****horpe and Millwall spent millions and millions to get to the play off final this year.

 

Once we're on an even keel I very much doubt we'd need much more incremental investment that we could generate through the gate etc.

Scunny and Millwall didn't have a 10 point deduction.

Err - the original post says "within two years". We need very little money to get out of this league.

£2-3 mil i reckon. No great transfer fees just wages and a small amount of good quality prem loans. Keep Davis, Sajies. Be good if we could keep Surman and Llanna.

 

Basically follow the Leicester model.

 

Disagree about the need for a big name manager, just someone with a bit of a track record, i.e. Boothroyd or i would like to see Tisdale involved.

why cant we get promoted this season coming????

 

if any of the top 3 had started on -10 they'd still have made the play off

 

i think a realistic target should be a play off birth anything less is failure

Leeds managed the play offs from 15 points down, so no reason why it isn't possible.

It depends how much money there is!

 

I don't think we should take that view. I think the play offs would still be achievable but with everything that has happened this season and the last few i think we need to take our time now. Anything next season in my view is a bonus. Sure we need to aim for promotion but deep down if we're playing better in the second half of the season than the first and we've developed a nice settled team that would do for me. Reckon we'd have a real go then in 10-11.

However much it costs to sign a big, ugly, physical, nasty bastard of a centre-forward.

 

A centre-back with similar qualities will be equally useful.

 

We need an even mix of good footballers and those who just bully teams.

With our current squad, even without Saga, Rasiak, Euell, BWP and Kelvin.. We should be a major force in League 1. The key is not how much money we throw at players etc, but making sure that we get the right manager in place, to make the most of the ones we already have. The last few seasons have seen teams like Bristol City, Swansea and now Peterborough promoted from L1 with young, ambitious managers that have created teams that can immediately challenge for promotion to the Premier League.

 

If we end up spending big money (which I won't object to) it will have to be on players that are, or will become consistantly good Championship level players. Most seem to be in agreement that what is really missing is a strong target man.. if we are able to bring in someone like Jason Scotland, and a manager with real potential, then I see no reason why we can't get promoted this year.. even with -10 points

Posted

whoever is manager, if by the end of the season we are not in or within a few of points of the play offs then its a failure.

 

one thing the club will need is people through the door though, higher gates should help us on the way back up.

It will cost us 6 men and a really good manager IMHO. How much is that?

how many teams promoted out of div 1 over last few years have had big name manager? - not needed.

 

not much money needed either.

 

just hang onto few decent players and manager to organise them.

How anyone can put a figure on it...there are so many different factors to consider.

 

My answer would be "how long's a piece of string"

 

Twice half it's length.

 

More importantly, how soon is now?

Looking at some of the players that have been released, i would say not much.

 

Maybe pay a few quid for Saiejs but then sign Harding (LB) on a free, Liam Miller, Matt Richards and Ivan Campo (!) and then a few quid on a striker and hey ho

Campo is past it big time, Liam Miller could be a shout and Harding too, if you can shove them on two year deals they'll be good buys. You've got to get a team which is willing to work for each other, that is down to the players and the manager. If you have Rasiak still around not wanting to play then you're not going to do well, we need to get rid of the deadwood, and thats easier said than done.

Front Man - Andy Bishop

 

I have been championing Bishop for ages on here but he has just gone in for a knee op ...not his first either so too big a gamble IMO.

I would definately get in Graeme Murty from Reading who has just been released, local club so doesnt have to move, a good player and make him captain.

What we really need is enought financial clout to tempt a world class coach to St Marys - I am talking someone in the Phillipe Troussier mould - we would **** League One then, no danger.

Posted

We need to add a powerful centre back and right back to the squad and a striker. Too many kids and they will be a light weight side in a physical league. Experience is vital if we want promotion, the kids can learn the game in the Johnston Paints Trophy, League Cup etc.

 

There are more games to play than ever.
