For a team of failures that finished bottom of The Championship RTG are hoping for some pretty handsome transfer fees for League One players. They’ll have to contribute to get some of that lot off their books. They seem to be expecting decent sides to want their failures and pay £5M or so for the privilege. Their best bet is to hope that some foreign team steps in for some of them and haven’t seen them play for the last 2 years.
That play off defeat became a great turning point for the better. It ultimately led to the Hall and Keegan years. Had we gone through we’d have been promoted regardless and it’s possible that Jim Smith would have been in charge for a few more years as we languished in the lower reaches of the new top division with the Hall boat sailing by.
I was at the match and devastated by the result but I’m pleased it happened looking back. They can have the bragging rights, I’ll take the Keegan years.
Never a penalty, he slides and realises the ball is going out so he does nothing but shepherd the ball out and the Watford player makes sure he runs into him.
Yes, he gives the linesman a decision to make but it was clearly the wrong one.
Depends on how RTG vote; they love a good vote. I’d give it to Dyce if they get European football. Shouldn’t be Roy, that Palace team should be top half.
Can’t believe that Millwall photo I put up. My Dad is seriously ill in hospital and my Mother has just told me he was at that match on a trip from the local club.
Their ambitions and outlook may become clearer with who they appoint as manager. If they’ve been clever enough to see through Coleman they need to be clever again in the next appointment.
It would be hilarious if they go for a Pardew or McLaren. Short clearly just needed to get rid and couldn’t see a sustainable way forward. He’s spent a fortune to give the club away; the new owners can’t have that much money behind them. If they have then they’ve done Short up like a kipper.
If he’s paid off all the debt then he’s effectively given the club away. Fair play to him, he’s left the new owners with extra cash and he’s put his own hand in his pocket just to get rid.
