You cant play two goalies but I said quality players

Could somebody please translate this post for me

I just dont think we are as good as a lot of people think we are. When we go up we need to be able to compete with teams in the CCC and stay there - I dont think many of this team are quality CCC players

You are quite right We are doing pretty well We have one of the best goal differences in the League and are in line for obtaining at least 75 points for the decision it is a shame that we have to take off 10 points for going into administration. We are in the third round of the FA Cup and have a great chance of going to Wembley in the JPT

I agree and the team is good enough without the ten point deduction we would be in the play off positions We are in the last four of the JPT.

I have always thought that we should have the JPT as top priority and my only concern is the tinkering of the team in recent weeks. I notice B'ham have not changed their team in the last eight games and are now unbeaten in 11 Whilst we continue to have a different defence each game

I agree they will be off but as they are getting paid I really dont understand why they have not played some part in the season

Being realistic on this forum is not really appreciated but getting promoted with clubs like Norwich Leeds and Charlton in the same league coupled with a ten point decuction and a loss of players like Surman John McGoldrick etc was not going to be easy.

I dont think our squad is good enough although I have been surprised that Saga and Holmes have not played to give others a rest

That has been apparent to me for sometime and that is why I think we will be very lucky to reach the playoffs

No we are better than that but having -10 points makes it feel like it

No we are not pathetic we would be in the playoffs if we did not have -10 points to begin with

You are possibly right but that is not the point I am making. The reason we will prosper in the future is because we have no financial worries and are not being run by the bank.

Like you I am happy where we are today because we have financial stability and will continue to move forward. It is because we have a rich owner that things are looking good surely that is not rot.

Did he get a Christmas card from either Rupert Leon or any fan

Surely you cant have a foot in both camps You either disagree or agree that money is the main reason for success in football . Your point regarding AP is very pertinent without money Pardew would never have to come to SFC

Probably a very wealthy nobody too

Do you believe in fairies too? Without money SFC was bound to fail with ML/NC and their money SFC will no doubt succeed

I agree with what you are saying but because we have a Billionaire owner and no debt we expect to succeed it probably would not be the same if the owner was not very rich and we had to pay each year for the stadium. Although originally my point was that last season we had no money and that was the main reason for our relegation.

So you do agree that financial stability is the main reason for success in football I am not saying it is the only reason but the main one

Exactly DD Last season we had to field a team of youngsters and get in a lowly paid manager and service debt . This season we have brought in older players and a good management team and have no debt to service so we will be getting in more players in January

Which just shows that football today is based primarily on Money Last season we had none this season we have lots

Yes but if Pardew is planning for the CCC will he be good enough there? Possibly not

In theory I totally agree with you but in reality things can and usually go wrong especially if the pressure on getting to the play offs mount.

Yes OK but at £3000 per week he must be one of the worst paid £1000000 players around
