Guest firetotheworks Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think we can safely say that short of a new manager and some inspired signings, they're staying in that league next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Honestly watching us last season we made it look almost impossible to not get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not. For 10 years they were a turd that wouldn't flush, but now they have they're sinking like a body with concrete boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 They'll need a takeover and serious investment to turn around that shitshow, they could be looking at a long long stay in the lower leagues. It could be a decade or more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm not even sure what you call a league that is below a pub league. Sub-League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I mean, I can understand Bolton being bottom given their pending possible winding up order. Birmingham another shambles club that keep firing managers for no reason. Boy what a league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, In the future, this was his big opportunity. He'll be back down League 1 where he belongs. Anyway, they'll give him the January window to attempt to deport the Africans and other undesirables to keep the fans onside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done even at this level. Still better than Rafa though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Grayson isn't really the problem. £1.2m as a transfer budget, what do you expect? He's working with a terrible, unbalanced squad. Is their team any better than those around them? Nope. They are where they should be, they just need to hope that they can keep their head above water. Sacking him (not that they can) will reduce available funds for the next manager. What options are out there? He's the best of a very bad bunch.

Sima Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 cannot speak for other people but horses for courses, in our position Grayson would be my choice, yes. Benitez is a cheque book manager, that is why you are struggling. Relegation scraps are not his forte and imho he cannot work on a shoestring budget, which Grayson seemingly can https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/rafa-hes-still-not-happy.1386526/page-230#post-26149186 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not reckon they've got a better squad than Burton Albion? I reckon they do. It's a poor team but it's a lower mid table championship team You could make an argument that Lloyd Dyer and Luke Varney, two players who only made the bench for Burton today - would walk straight into the mackems starting 11. I'd argue that they are probably a similar level, as you said - you'd expect both teams to be in the bottom half, I don't think the quality is all that different down there. Maybe marginally but other than Birmingham and Bolton, no other teams are in a real 'crisis'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
