The fans becoming newly realistic could become our strength of course.Every player linked to the club in the last 4 years are Googeled and then scoffed at.(funnily enough they were correct) but we were still in dreamland what we could egt.Now if the club take on some non entities /frees etc the fns may embrace the idea instead of criticising and make these players welcome.I still have neough faith that we can indeed rise again but we will need us all to unite behind whoever is there and not expect instant success.

I can understand your concerns and voiced them like others on here before we went into administration.Im in denial that we wont be bought but when you consider quite how much even after the cost cutting that RL took on that we are still losing money!!! it seems we dont have any super rich sugar daddy comign to buy us and so are now at the consortiums of well emaning welathy but not super wealthy people hoping to buy us and then turnoing us for a profit in a few years. Will we be just a shell with the contents sucked empty by snakes or will it hatch and grow

i understand most fans on here are realistic to what is to become the norm for a while. We really do have to understand the squad will be cut and shut big time whoever takes over.It seems to me none of the interested parties have a lot of money to play with and so will look at the players wage bill. We will have to get used to the loss of anyone who commands a decent wage.Sadly to some fans it will mean the back of many of their heroes (although many wont be missed) We will IMO have to accept a lot of hardworking players who we have never heard of . In time some will get our respect and perhaps become our heroes.

As i think more about it perhaps they are right. We as fans or club will not think twice cutting them adrift as soon as we can to reduce the wage bill.

Are you a psychic (spl?)

I didnt realise that you were off clubbing. I thought it was just an aftermatch drink and a few pleasantries.Im gutted now as i coul have organised a dance off for the result to be overtruned..damn

I think we should have the managers commentary. 'Get that bloody Hamster off the pitch now' Phil was shouting in despair, and then a large chuckle is heard from the opposing manager and his reply 'You can't Dubai he's paid for 45 minutes'

How are you going to duplicate me then??? I await with trepidation the comeback to that

We are like Bodie and Doyle ,The Professionals. I have alreadsy earmarked you for a role we need a new janitor and after 6 months if you are good you will get a toilet brush and some gloves.

I think you have got the right format there Phil. It is the good cop bad cop thing. Phil the Mr Nice Guy who then does the silent assination by using any trick possible to get the result and Nick big mouth who rallies the team with banter team spirit and encouragement. It would be a good combination. You may have done the modest in victory but im afraid i dont think I did the gracious in defeat, Im looking forward to see how my post match interview comes across after the game. A little peeved at the ref /tactics used by my counterpart etc etc. not a sign of congratulation to the victors, just a solid defence of my team.

Yeah but it was the quality of the other knee that showed through. Only 32 Si I was cutting you a bit of slack as I thought you were an old boy!!!! lol.

at least he turned up.he would have paid as well.

My daughter was reading the programme and said 'surely you recognise him he sits right behind us' ....oooopa Sorry mate.I did recognise your family though wh oalso sit on the Northam

Scally you are right. I di think there is a big problem with credibility to some people. Fans (I admit i have been guilty of it myself) do not always believe in some peoples motives whether it be for politics or personal gain. Perhaps if the players made it clear whether they are to be paid or not would help.I understand as Robbie says there are costs incurred by people but the game is being sold on the fact that these people love the club.Well the people they are asking love the club as well and are paying for the privilage to turn up and also incurring travelling costs. I dont think there is a togetherness in this as we/I havbe become sceptical that it us that pays while others (rightly or wrongly) are lining their own pockets.Transparency would make a difference to peoples perception im sure.PS I do appreciate MO's time and effort in doing what he is.

I assume that their would have been strings attached to the loan and rightly so.As I put elsewhere my understanding is that the loan is an add on to any buyers offer.

Thats right you did tell me. So I d just like the home team to digest we had a keeper in midfield in the first half and 1 at centre back in the 2nd half. what a team to be able to do that.Makes our efforts even more admirable and add to that the Flying Finn recovering a cruciate injury

Id jump at it like a shot.What is your normal position then Lee I think you did tell me on the night but I had too much to think about to remember

Have a safe trip Phil, I hope there is hope in your heart not dejection. The ref was probably motioning to where to drop the envelope.Normally in the real games subs come on during a break in play. As fopr the shouting perhaps its because we are both quiet and not a lot to say characters that the players couldnt hear.I think anyone near to the managers would have heard me. Safe trip

Or Lee is in the middle of the shot

Lol.Yep, but only if MM bankrolls him like he did last season. It will be tougher next season for Leicester

Bloody hell I was shouting like mad.You did hear me when I called for you to take the D. I still cant believe we were robbed but we did have a great bunch of lads didnt we?

Yeah give him the freedom of the city.

Had i heard defeatist stuff before the match Id have nipped that in the bud.We were the mighty Flints and only underhand tactics were going to beat us......ohhhhhhhh Phil was a good man though, a really nice man.Congratulations to him and his squad of 19

But that starved the club of money they could have the tickets for.Surely the club comes first at this time.It is all conjecture at present of course.

It may be naive but I really believe MLT wouldnt charge.I do hope Im right on that.
