Re: Currently 20th
Forest will get out of it with their squad. We need Wycombe, Rotherham and one other to struggle to get any results.
Come on you Sooopa ........

Re: Currently 20th
My guess Birmingham, Milwall or us. Will depend on who makes some good signings in January. With our history .....

Re: Currently 20th
Two points above a team who started on -6 and five points behind Coventry who were in League 2 a couple of years ago, it's not looking good. Wycombe is an absolute must-win - no excuses.

Re: Currently 20th
Get rid of MW now, it gives Eustace or a new manager 2 weeks to work on the training ground. I assume the FA Cup tie next week will be postponed. Any players brought in need to be the new managers buys. No doubt we are heading into the relegation zone and will be in it sooner rather than later. It’s gonna end in tears with MW, if he isn’t sacked now he will be soon, so let’s get it done while there is plenty of time.

Re: Currently 20th
I really hoped that this was just a poor run of form and MW and the players would turn things around but it does now feel a bit more serious. Some plucky draws against Bournemouth, Watford & Norwich don't make up for not taking maximum points from games against lesser opposition. MW's apparent inflexibility is clearly part of the problem but so are some of the personnel recruited and the loss of Luke Amos didn't help matters. I'm a great believer in looking at the season 10 games at a time, so in our first 10 games we accumulated 13 points, second 10 games delivered 7 points and 2 games into the next set of 10 we have 1 point. Pretty poor by anyone's standards. Looking at January & February fixtures, Wycombe & Derby at home and Rotherham & Birmingham away look to be fairly critical. Beating bloody Brentford has to be a must! Is MW the man to oversee the rest of the season and turn things around...answers on a postcard please!
Question everything.

Re: Currently 20th
Any reason that you think changing the manager will have any benefit? It certainly hasn't before. It also lumbers the club with paying off MW and anyone else who has to leave, pay someone for a new contract, along with "his" people and any signings he wants. We are close to another FFP breach this season and need to grit our teeth stick with what we have got even if it means doing it in another league. The main thing is to still have a club when life (hopefully) returns to normal, some fans won't.carrotstick wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:22 pmGet rid of MW now, it gives Eustace or a new manager 2 weeks to work on the training ground.

It's not the despair that will kill you, it's the hope.

Re: Currently 20th
Nope..... changing manager doesn’t seem to work for us, but you never know it might do. I’ve had enough of the repetitive post match interviews, the poor results, having 1 shot on target per game and heading the wrong way in the table. Some people you can warm to and some you can’t, I just don’t like this guy. I would imagine financially it would be a disaster if we keep MW and go down, so I would gamble, pay him off and get in someone new. Don’t ask me who, I don’t care, I’ve just had enough of MW.Esox Lucius wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 12:14 pmAny reason that you think changing the manager will have any benefit?

Re: Currently 20th
I can never understand when its suggested to sack the manager and let the no 2 take control (ie Eustace or Ramsey). Surely they both talk to MW on the training pitch and put forward their ideas? If they do, then they will make no difference. If they dont then why are they on the managerial team?

Re: Currently 20th
Time for the board to sell the ground to themselves, that seems to be the way to go.wrinklyhoop wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 5:50 pmSeriously Mike?

Re: Currently 20th
The ground is already owned in a separate company and has been for years. If the club went under the ground would be uneffected and subject to planning could be sold for £40m or so. Savills do valuations fairly regularly but am not sure of latest figures. The club does not have the asset of its own ground is the main point.
