That is what I really meant the demise started after our 3 0 win against Pompey. I totally agree with you comments about the Cup Final and Strachan in general not in the same class as Hoddle and possibly Pardew

[quote=Legod Third Coming;545825 to believe we were about to appoint a top class proven manager... hmmm. Well he was going to appoint Hoddle

How many wins did we have after beating Pompey 3 0 and before Strachan left Not many I would have thought. As you say with no investment available things were not looking good That was when really needed Markhus

I agree with you but I would like to know what the plan is. Realistically we need to be building a team for automatic promotion next season so I will be interested in the signings we make in January for this to happen It should be relatively easy to get to the CCC but getting to the Premiership is not going to be easy

That sums up my attitude too Although after Strachan left the team were on the way down

I doubt whether ML would have invested in SFC without the facilities including the Stadium which became available during Lowe's tenure.

You such seem to be someone who could moan for England. It is results which count not pretty football. But Pretty Football with results would be good

Yes I agree

I think it may be easy next year to get promoted as we are competing with Charlton Leeds and Norwich at the moment who are large clubs.

Yes I would agree but not sure about Thomas maybe a new CB So Saga Trottman Mellis Holmes and Antonio out to be replaced by better players

They beat us though

Anybody know what this drivel is asbout?

You wouldn't get 31,000 at St. Mary's for that kind of football, even if we were third in the table. QUOTE] Of course you would it is results which count

I did not realise you had become an Anorak Stato DD:wink:

But if we had won perhaps we would have bought players to push for promotion this season As we did not win promotion maybe out of the question and we will play the current squad with replacements for players who leave

Perhaps you wont if they get promoted By the way I thought your post was arrogant and out of order. Clubs like Colchester have little income and are doing very well in the circumstances

Yes to make the team stronger we need the players you suggest but to have a real chance of promotion we need need more I would have thought

Perhaps we should get rid of our Academy as we dont seem to want to develop our youngsters

Boothroyd does seem to get the best out of his players. Where as Pardew does not seem to bother with players like Gillett Saga and Holmes Would not want Boothroyd in the Premiership though

So you were not in a good position?

Well if we had Boothroyd instead of Pardew perhaps we could be in the play offs by now

I think he is quite a good manager certainly gets results

I thought we were in League 1 and had League 1 Players playing to League 1 standards and achieving good results

GS is not doing very well at Middlesboro either must be Scottish failure;)

When was the last time we had a decent winger I cant remember
