midds Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Every single piece of news that comes out of that place is negative and screams that they're absolutely, completely, totally fucking potless. Like using some ticket money to refund other ticket money. Selling off nearly all of the young prospects for buttons. Downgrading the academy in the pipeline, furloughing as many for as long as possible etc. No idea what their plan is to stay afloat but I don't even think they've bottomed out yet, it'll get worse in the next few months if they can't pay their bills. Awful news. It’s funny when they keep saying ‘and I thought we hit rock bottom when...’ unable to realise more is coming their way. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and these fuckers have fell through a gigantic sinkhole with all the things that apparently make them a big club weighing them down further. Mark Campbell is sniffing again and apparently in advanced talks. Out of the fire and in to the furnace. The only advantage they had over the rest of the division was crowd size. That's now gone if there's a L1 season at all it'll probably be BCD and fan income will be, broadly, equalised. Even then a lot of them are saying they're not putting another penny in until The Don goes. Sponsorship will be virtually nothing, merchandise will be very small I just don't know how they're going to honour the contracts of Cattermole and Oviedo let alone the players still there. The owners have no cash and they've already borrowed £10m. Players still need to be paid and refunds given out. They're staring into the abyss and it could be years and years of rattling around in L1 and 2 before they get themselves out of the shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're staring into the abyss and it could be years and years of rattling around in L1 and 2 before they get themselves out of the shit. Even crowd size has had its negatives. Players who are at this level and have been brought in have struggled to play in front of large crowds with big expectations. Additionally the big crowds in their big stadium has opposition rocking up wanting to perform on this stage, for some of them the biggest they’ve played in. They also know the crowd can be counterproductive and the away team can get under their skin quickly, especially when they apply pressure to their players on the ball forcing mistakes...then comes the beeeeeeeeeew. Every last thing that should make things easier for them has held them back. The cost of running the stadium, the crowds, the expectations, the academy costs and their perceived better players, some who had premiership experience. It’s been a canny act from the owners to inflict this much damage, and most of it not on purpose. It’s like some bizarre experiment Played out by a computer to see how quickly you can ruin a top flight football club but it wasn’t quick enough 1st time round so they added sim city style disasters to speed it up.

midds Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Totally forgot about the squad they've got. I can't think of a single one who they could sell for decent money. Absolute dross that no-one would want to pay even small amounts of money for. They've only retained about 12 players in total anyway, none of them are good enough for the 'Champo'.

O’Nien (sp?) seems to be the only one half rated but he’s not played higher than he is now. TBH I don’t how the whole league starts again without being subsidised given how reliant clubs are on revenue money. Heard part of their podcast and they were absolutely gasping for other clubs to go to the wall because they refused to promote them by default.

Nobody Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 As much as I love to laugh at these cunts, closing down their academy is really bad news (if that was true). It affects a lot more people than just mackems, potentially our own HTT for example. I don't wish them any luck in any game they play and would be happy for them to stay in league one at least until we turn into a decent side again, but don't want them to go bust or even drop further than this.

The problem is that a 5* UEFA rated Academy and the running costs that come with that aren't really viable for a League One club. It was always going to happen if they stayed down there for a few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get proper riled up about how much we rate Rafa yet dislike Bruce and pardew. Had we turned on Rafa (like they would have) then they’d be lauding him as a world class manager that we ran out of town.
