Has anyone thought about what might happen if we don't get promoted? No way this clown will continue to put £20million a year in to keep us going. Christ knows what will happen then.

 

Promotion is not a forgone conclusion - especially with Ashley and his puppet at the helm.....

hopefully some much needed stability. Now lets just hope some of the cash goes in to strenghtening the squad, and not selling a single soul, except for jonas whom i think we can get some cash for, and should be replaceable quite easy if his current form continues.

Jesus, it really has just gone tits up hasn't it?

 

Anyone think adidas will resign? Aren't our shirt and merchandise sales still massive? I'll take Nike, Puma, or Umbro. Please god no Lonsdale or Rbk.

Success and stability go hand in hand.

Can we hang Sillius now?

 

Why? It was all a cover story for Ashley, have people not realised this yet? The buyers were genuine, it was the seller who was being dishonest.

 

Oh we know that, its not Sillius's fault, but someone has to die over this, it may as well be him.

 

:D

This is so depressing. Worse part is, the only positive (the £20m injection) is almost guaranteed to never happen. Just f*** off you fat c***. :(

i'd say it will happen but its not going to be going into transfer kitty just to plug the finances

Pretty surprised that the club wasn't sold "by the end of the week", it was a real shock :frantic:.

 

Now let's get ready, I think we haven't seen anything so far and that disaster is yet to come.  :thup:

Is this really any sort of surprise ?

 

Ashley has been dragging his feet over the sale for months and he clearly wants to try to hang on & see if the club gets promoted so he can sell at a higher price and recoup some losses.

 

Unfortunately for him(as so often seems to happen with his speculative decisions), there is very little guarantee that his plan will work. Yes, he has put in another 20m, but even if this is used on team strengthening, it will be Jan at the earliest before this happens and it takes time to bed players into a side.

 

Also, his decision to appoint Hughton full-time is a gamble which may not work out in the long run - those of us old enough to remember the Richard Dinnis appointment, forced on the club by the players after Gordon Lee left in 77, know that there is often an effort made by players to get their man into the job by giving  as much as they can on the field, which has basically been the situation at SJP since the start of this season....once Dinnis got the job full-time, the players' performances began to drop off(although the directors also dragged their feet in backing Dinnis's efforts to sign players...sound familiar..!!?).

 

Only time will tell if Hughton can continue to motivate these players but the past 4 or 5 games have not looked promising from that angle.His tactics also leave room for questions....

 

I still believe that the club will not make significant progress until Ashley has gone - they MAY get promoted but they will struggle to stay up if so, and he is unlikely to spend the necessary cash to transform the side ; top players will also be reluctant to join the club unless they can see that the pantomime regime has ended.
