Dark Munster

Considering he came in and immediately got rid of an excellent young manager, purely out of spite because he was appointed by his arch nemesis Crouch, replacing said manager with a "revolutionary coaching set up" headed by a couple of clowns, many would say that RL was to blame for the relegation. And don't get me started on him allowing Saints to go into administration just a few days after the cutoff date for the points penalty to carry-over to the next season.

And don't forget, even if they make the playoffs, there are 3 of the better teams standing in their way to temporary salvation. So that makes the Cheats chances of survival one quarter of Jack Schitt.

Even better: their playoff place is guaranteed, they cannot finish second, and roll over in the match to avoid having to meet us in the playoffs.

That's true every night.

Bring Arsenal, Manure, AC Milan, Barcelona, and anyone else interested with tons of wonga, into a room, and let the bidding begin.

Has he signed yet?

If they miss out on 6th place by a point or so Chinny is really going to be kicking himself. At least he'll take comfort in trousering the remaining millions from the remaining parachute monies and whatever assets are left. Of course his disappointment will pale in comparison to that of the few, as their hopes get cruelly crushed, and after they gaze on the ruins of their cesspit of a club.

Yes, but he is arguably our best striker, if only he didn't spend so much time in the treatment room.

If the manager or groundsman saves the club by bringing in a billionaire owner, why not?

Any hope of entering the Russian roulette with three chambers out of four filled. Still, the few have to clutch at whatever straws they can. It's the hope that kills you.

I think the fun will really begin the moment it is mathematically impossible for them to make the top six. Oh how we'll laugh.

Well, the lull didn't last long did it? From the comments: Cash or Cheque only = No protection, You wont get it back if the club goes back into administration, this smells of something very dodgy. I mean seriously! there must be a cash flow crisis again! doggo It appears that the penny is starting to drop for some of the few.

Yes, but he did sign Big Ken. (See above).

Great player. But it's amazing to think that a Br*nf**t signing could make the top 10!

Yes indeed, best wishes to him. Just curious, was he a smoker?

Well you certainly know all about that, Mack.

Good grief, we can't have a whole day without at least one post to the thread. I'm sure this is just the calm before the storm (for them). Any latest news on the Cheats to keep us laughing?

Not winning every game can never be a necessity.

What happened to that Wednesday supporter (Tart Owl something) who was bragging on here at the beginning of season that they'll pip us for first place? She's gone rather quiet over the last few months. I wonder why?

Ah yes, but you have to admit it's worth every penny to be owners of the club with the bestest™ fans in the world.

Can't think why. "If you're offered a better job with far, far more money and playing at the top level, it's every footballer's dream," he [Posh's director of football Barry Fry] said. "We've stopped him fulfilling that dream five or six times."

Not much chance of that. After Chinny has scarpered I think they'll find the cupboard very bare. Actually, they probably won't even find a cupboard.

It did cross my mind. But then I was comforted with the thought that, whatever points they get deducted, the FA will make sure that QPR will finish at least one place above the Cheats.

... and then buy the yacht.

Imagine you are a loan shark, owning a club you have no interest in, except to extract as much lucre out of it as possible. You get advanced the remaining parachute money, and have paid off as few creditors as possible. You are left with several million. Do you: 1) Plough it into the club to keep them semi-competitive in the Championship (mid table at best) for a season or two. or 2) Abandon the rotten carcass and buy yourself a nice new yacht?
