What do you think he's been doing in the last two or three days? He's reigned it in because it was getting too blatant!

Fractionally but that was more down to the impact of Norwood. We still didn't have a striker of Championship class. To have any hope, we needed one. They sold him. If it had been Lukas with Norwood, we may have had a chance. But no, SISU cashed in on an asset, relegation costing them more than...

And much more easily with a prospect of long term success if it had been via administration.

I'd say 2 of those count as "involved in relegation". Your "stats" really don't back up your argument that "relegation was inevitable without SISU". It would have been in the season they bought us due to adminstration, but that was the only time. Maybe you should have a look at the number of...

Who inherited? Now I'm confused..

He could have Larry David and Mel Brooks writing for him, yet you'd never laugh.

I'm Gruffy really.

You must be confused, I've argued that relegation to L1 was inevitable from the start of last season. Or rather the end of last season's summer transfer window.

I missed your facts-all I see is opinions. Notably your assertion that SISU saved us-no they didn't. They were the only company willing to take us on not out of administration, and that's because they were too greedy to get on the Premiership gravy train to undertake the 5 year rebuilding...

You are talking complete and utter rubbish. After relegation from the top flight we were no way near relegation candidates. It took around a decade for us to become favourites for relegation. The only pre-season that we had been amongst the favourites for relegation was last season-see the...

That's the one. We had a couple of players come out for a bit after about 20 minutes. At least McPake made the effort, even though he was on crutches..

Leon Best was signed for 3m this season...

Only time I've ever stayed for one was the game where my "keen to get away ASAP" mate couldn't make it-and the bastards were so embarrassed that they didn't even bother!

But we've hardly used short corners at all this season: 95% of them have been lumped all the way over the penalty area and beyond!

We'd have been hit with a huge points deduction for 3rd party ownership now, of course, but back then, it was all on the level, like Arthur Daley ;)

Exactly. As Mustard says above, we made a healthy transfer profit under Richardson. Unfortunately the vast majority of it went into the pockets of the people who "invested" the money to sign them. It was heralded by Richardson as the answer to our dreams, a way of spending like we could never...

I remember 27m being quoted-which was a lot then...

No farm=no fattened calves to sell on. I mean, grow our own Franchise Player, yeah, that's it...

Weaseling out of debt, dave? Standard SISU procedure.

I think there was a lot of "we're not a L1 club, we should be beating these rubbish sides" for the first 3 months of the season: it's a major part of why we sucked so much.
