Optimistic Nut Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 When Grayson was sacked they were 23rd and two points from safety. They've had their new manager bounce, a couple of wins in that time and are now 24th and two points from safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Even in their wins, particularly the Forest one, they won through luck rather than judgement. Their goal was their only attempt on goal, whilst Forest had all of the game. They’ll probably scrape a fortunate win here or there but they aren’t playing like a team that could get out of it.

geordiedean Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Won 4 from 26 have failed to beat Birmingham,,Bolton and Barnsley at home. To reach Blackburns total that they went down with they now need to win 9 and draw 2 from 20 Teams at the bottom of that league rely heavily on home form, Bolton and Burton have picked up recently and Birmingham have just won 2 on the spin. The mackems only have 10 games left at home with some real tough ones coming up. Look at their remaining 10 games or so. Real tough fixtures Its not happening these fuckers are League 1 bound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 If that's the case survival will be a massive achievement for them then. It's got to be their sole objective now, which is hilarious considering the way they acted towards us when we went down. Next year could be even tougher for them, if they survive they will see a big drop in parachute payments, still paying PL wages for a lot of their players who are quite frankly not up to Champo level. If they go down again, they'll be in an even bigger mess with still no money to get out of it. They may not get back to the PL for a decade or so.

Guest chopey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Coleman is an idiot for taking that job under those conditions like I was convinced he took the job based on transfer promises, but you are 100% right he has left a better job to go there, he must be getting a canny monthly pay rise.

Stifler Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 So no one wanting to take their players either. I can see the scenario being that they’ll sell the likes of Koné too late in the transfer window which will be used as a reason not to re-invest, but the money will go towards paying the running costs of the club instead. They need a cash injection from somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be that simple, he went for a pay rise. But it's ridiculous short termism, because he's blowing what rep he had, some desperate PL club would have given him another chance, I'm pretty sure of that, or at worst a Champo team with actual money to spend.

Disco Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 TBF they've still got a few small salable assets. Khazri is in decent form in France and with the WC in the summer they might get a few million Might yet get a couple for Papy if he does OK on loan Couple of million for the £30m man Kone Few million for Ndong Brexitise the club as well as raise some money to payback Uncle Ellis and his high interest loans. After that they're absolutely hosed unless they get taken over though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
