Was it in L2 due to horrific mismanagement and lack of appropriate investment from our owners?

I am content we exist - that should be the bare minimum, have some ambition
That we are competing in every game in the championship - because of a once in a generation manager, we'll fall back down without backing
That we have progressed every season for 5 years - same reason as above, we've hit our ceiling now and are much more likely to regress
I’m so annoyed that with a little investment we could progress quicker - why spend your time arguing against people that make this very point then?
I recognise we disappeared from the championship mainly because we spent what we didn’t have and don’t want to repeat it - We're not spending what we do have because we have to give it to our owners
We're not fucking Forest Green Rovers getting nosebleeds from being in the Championship. Just surviving at this level is the height of your ambition? Sad.
The reaction after that God awful Millwall game of 'still having a great season, be thankful for where we are', it's just cap doffing to sides who in a good number of cases get smaller crowds than we do
No, you fucking lunchbox. But I’m realistic of where we currently are. I’d love a signing or 6, but I’m not going to spit my dummy out like you bellends if we don’t get them.
Realistically we're a few points out of the playoffs with games in hand. You think that if we called an U23 PL team they'd tell us we can't have a player because we were in L2 recently. Pathetic lack of ambition.
If we were to get relegated again people would argue it was no bother because it's better than L2. Loads of you fucking pricks probably weren't there freezing your arse off with 5k at the arena getting beaten by tiny clubs anyway.
I enjoyed the insult "lunchbox" haha! But also, I think it's more the fact that we probably don't need anywhere near 6 new players to give it a real go this season. Therefore I can understand people's frustration.
Go back further and why these owners had the chance to buy us I was getting at and they then spent what they didn’t make then turned tap off
Where on gods green earth does the logic of an unproven unplayed U23 Prem loanee mean the difference between play offs or not? The logic behind your whines are ludicrous.
Have you written to Boddy to say we should sign someone because you watched a game in Lg2 when it was a bit chilly?
As above, they got it because the Council didn't want anyone with an interest in buying a stake in the stadium. The attempt to defend the indefensible is admirable but at some point you must admit they really are just not the right people to have in charge
Having an AM to back up O'Hare could be everything and cost the sum of fuck all when we've been bringing in more than budgeted.
Imagine having this little ambition.
Honestly, we need to just settle for the inevitable uneventful window and mid table finish. Plus, we do more business in the summer anyway so that's something to look forward to.
Freely admit they are not just the ones that are currently
We budgeted for 17k crowds and we recorded record ticket sales.
Our squad has shrunk since August and we've had a load of televised games and new sponsorships.
In what world have we not earned over what has budgeted?
I can settle for that if we made some vague effort rather than just settling for barely better than relegation form for the majority of the season
I'm hoping that's the plan. Realistically we have nothing to play for this season, spunking money on a flashy loan we have no chance of keeping wouldn't be a sensible move, it may add a few more to the crowd but it's just a bit short sighted. Robins will start to be tempted by stuff elsewhere unless he gets his targets in the off season.
The reason we have to look at U23s is because they're a cheap option. Apparently even that is beyond the realms of possibility though.
All the players we’ve got rid of (except Walker) may not have been in our August budget as MR was hoping to get rid of them all. I’m not defending only get one player in, in this window as I think getting another two in vital to keep on the coat tails of the play offs. But there’s a lot of experts who seem to know what the budget was and who was in it

So according to this thread, we’re after an unproven, prolific, AM with a lethal eye for goal and is good enough to displace COH and best of all, costs fuck all!
Fuck me there must a conveyor belt somewhere with these boys just waiting to be snapped up.
Your pathetic passive aggressive remarks about lack of ambition are clouding a basic understanding of football.
Must be the only team in the league who's written off the season in January
Serious question. What are we going to do if COH gets injured?
I love reading posts from people that seem to think we are a L2/L1 club on a surge into the dizzy heights of the 2nd division, having spent a sum total of 9 years down there from the last 55. It's quite amusing.
At the end of the day it makes no sense throwing money at a team that is already over-achieving.
We disappeared from the championship and league one as we pulled the plug on expenditure and prepared for relegation
Surely when you’ve got a setup that’s getting more bang for your Buck is exactly when you throw money?
Because, just like our U23s going out, the parent club wants them to develop in the mens game over the U23s.
