Could it get worse?

The debts are like concrete boots to us.

One way or another they need either paying off or somehow detached from the football.

Any manager needs some freedom to buy footballers. This season has been a nightmare in terms of player acquisition. Free plodders or loan plodders with low wages.

Can't be done, though. The debt has to be dealt with before we can move on.
 
I thought Bournemouth relegating us last season was as low as it could get, but the way its going it will be Burton f***ing Albion who send us down in a few weeks.
 
League 1 FFP is a salary cap of 60% of turnover, and the cap excludes players who signed long contracts before this season (so Cattermole and Rodwell won't count). With a £31m parachute payment, and even crowds of 20,000 or so, we'll have a bigger cap than most clubs' turnover. We could offer a few hundred more than any other club, and still cut the wage bill, assuming some higher earners leave this year. And the quality of the AoL will make us more attractive to clubs wanting to loan out players; I know people moan about loans, but all League 1 clubs use it to the max, sing other players on 1 year contracts on frees, and pretty much have half a new squad every year.
I just really hope we can use it to our advantage.
 
Specsavers beckons mate. He's a f***ing gutless wanker.


Up pal. Bigger better and stronger. We won't always be the away teams easy 3 points.
been going since 1975 & to be honest its always been a rollercoaster of ups & downs, there's always been hope, but this, seems no end to it, desperate in there today.
 
Dead and heading to league one. Could we end up being worse and find ourselves dealing with another relegation battle next season?
I see no hope or bright spark in this side, if ever one appears it soon gets shut out.
If Lee Cattermole plays, we’re doomed to fight in the bottom

Quite easily.

We will set it up nicely by comfortably losing all our remaining home games
 
Me too mate didn't even feel the rain walking home it's over now, spineless bastards
Home now mate, just out of the shower, me lugs have thawed out, I’m not hurt and upset any more, just f**king furious.

Therefore you will know we won’t always be shite. Chin up mate, our time will come again.

Camps got the concrete boots fat get cant jump for shit
 
We will get absolutely battered in League 1 with this weak gimps. We need a positive takeover, a manager who knows his best team and formation and money. So in a nutshell aye it’s going to get worse before we turn it around.
Never felt so embarrassed of my own club in my lifetime. Absolute shambles
We have the worst scouts and negotiation makers in the history of footy
.

...and because of all the above points we are where we deserve to be. And none of us can say it wasn't on the agenda because of it all, but nothing has been done to correct it over several years
