Guest lktmpl Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Get behind the owner ffs. No thanks. Why? Who would you rather??? Glazers?? Munto finance??? Hicks?? Welcome to the real world - we aren't ever going to get bought out by a billionaire! It could be so much worse We did and the fat c*** took us down. Yeah it could be worse. If we were in League 2 it could still be worse and some people would still say Mike Ashley was doing a great job. don't even understand this post??? Of course it could be worse but it is'nt mistakes were made and now we are probably going to be in the prem again next year - without all the deadwood but with younger fresher players. Long term being relegated could be good thing. Its all about enjoying the game and I'm enjoying it more this season than last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lktmpl Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 We're struggling to crawl out of this league atm, what chance have we got in the PL? Very different leagues. Birmingham were struggling to get out the championship last year but now look at them. Seriously - why the negativity? Last summer where did you hope we would be now??? What could have been done up to this point any better?? If i remember correctly most people were hoping for a middle table finish at best. There is no way we would get less than 11 points!!! Honestly come on - if we are only going to get 11 points and are top of the league what are the playoff winners going to get. If someone this time last summer asked you where you wanted to be next March what would you have said? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying being top too but if that's all that matters, why don't we just deliberately get ourselves relegated from the Championship, we'll have a whale of a time in League 1. It will take massive investment (for massive investment read: the amount of money a club of our size should have at its disposal) to have a hope of Premiership survival and Mike Ashley's penny pinching won't give us that. Yes I'd rather be in our position than Middlesbrough's but nevertheless he has decimated the club and the current league position papers over that.

Yes I'd rather be in our position than Middlesbrough's but nevertheless he has decimated the club and the current league position papers over that. He took on a Premiership club and currently has on his hands a club that doesn't have a hope of surviving in that league. The argument about how Ashley has fucked us in the ass keeps getting churned out over and over regardless of our current league position. I certainly don't disagree. All the lad's saying though is that it's a new start for us as a club, and it's going alright so far. Why can't we pull ourselves together and enjoy some positivity for a change? Negativity never got anyone anywhere. Let's wait till we get promoted and worry about that then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The results have been far better than the performances this season. We've won loads of games by simply being less shit than the opposition. If Ashley and Llambias don't realise that a complete revamp of the squad is needed and try to do it on the cheap then we'll get tanked every week and come straight back down. Rinse and repeat....
