MID TABLE AT BEST FOR CCFC THIS SEASON

Annis I keep reading on here about rebuilding, how long do you need? We had the same nonsense until we got a manager who made sure we had the right players to take us up & as I've stated many times when last January he brought in Routledge, Shittu, Ishmael Miller & Pascal Chimbonda it really gave us that final push to get us up why have you not done that???

Stan mate, we have no money simple. we can throw 10million at players and still not go up. what do we gain from that? even more unmanagable mounting debt. People may say well take a chance? but when you see the shit other clubs are getting into I would rather still have a club because I think people forget that less than 2 years ago we didnt think we would

Mill that's what I'm saying though we spent £3m odd under Warnock to get us up, that proves you don't need to throw money at it just select players wisely & you are in with a shout. Getting Routledge, Miller & Shittu for nothing all on loans done it for us that's why I can't believe your board did not do the same thing.

Warnock got for free, Shaun Derry, Clint Hill, Jamie Mackie £125k, Routledge, Shittu, Miller loans our most expensive signing was Paddy Kenny at £750k & they apart from Taarabt were the backbone to our team.

I just find it totally baffling that in the strong position you were in you didn't reinforce it.

to be honest mate, our fans dont know what they want
last year we had 7 I believe loans, bellers, koumas, drinkwater etc and got no where = Moaning.
Now we bring in a few loans and sign a few frees and youngsters = moaning

were not man city, we have huge debts simple.

Maybe its just me, but personally the politics and money side of the club dont interest me, im happy whatever happens this year I have it enjoyed it more than any season under Jones

I said at the start of the season we'd be mid table. I don't want our owners to throw money at transfers. I'd rather we build or squad steadily for 2-3 seasons.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Stan, watching the documentary on you guys, it was obvious that your board were continuosly getting it very wrong, they eventually got it right, with the appointment of Warnock,a different manager at that point and you could well be playing in the first divsion now.

Leyton you are right Warnock & Warnock alone got us up but my main point was what made him different from the others apart from his obvious managerial skills is his knack in the transfer market & he knew we needed to strengthen in January to push us over the line, that's where I think you have failed this season. Fresh blood not only adds talent but it raises all the other lads games as they know positions are under threat.

Milly I agree mate. This season has been shite for us & if we got relegated which I fully expect now I'd be happy being in a league where we can compete, win games & come home happy of a Saturday night.

Stan I hope you stay up

Cheers bruva.

Honestly think its virtually a done deal for us to go down this season. Its a shame but we've been shit. In our last 10 games we have to play Man Utd (a) Chelsea (a) Man City (a) Liverpool (h) Spurs (h) Arsenal (h) how many points we gonna realistically get from them? I'd say 1, 2 if we are v v lucky.

Not good enough this year unfortunately.

What do you think of Mark Hughes?

How do you think us Jacks are doing,Stan?

Your regret this if they take 3 points of you.

Posted this thread in October & my prediction of finishing 13th looks like it could become reality.

MM not getting backed in January was absolutely criminal & has fluffed your chances for another year imo.

Couple of quick questions;

1) What are you actually playing like?

2) What are MM's tactics & does he make the right substitutions & put out the strongest XI every week?

3) Why is Earnshaw not playing?

4) Are the fans getting on the manager or boards back?

5) Do you see yourselves making a late push?


I stand by my original post in that you don't have enough strength in depth or a natural leader or star player to drive you on.

One bright note though boys you'll get to play us again next season as we are f*cking shite!

Do you think Earnshaw should be playing?
