I love the idea of a defiant Plan B.

Then you had a good cat. Our two are frightened of them. :) EDIT: They will catch the babies (up to 4 inches long) but run from the big ones.

Rats will attack anything smaller than them. We have some hens, which attracts them especially in the winter when we have about 4 or 5 different infestations we have to deal with. They will not attack the hens unless they are ill: once saw a sick hen defending itself from a rat which was...

After that draw today we cannot afford to drop many more points if we are to make the play-offs.

To answer the OP's question, I'm pretty sure this must be the reason: They made a mistake buying CCFC. They have poured money in and wanted to see an extraordinary return. That isn't happening. They tried a quick run for promotion from the Championship but as it didn't work immediately they...

And that's the difference between really having a two year plan and just saying you have and then filling the team with loans.

Private Eye does a regular column on this, it's called Dumb Britain. There are some very funny responses every fortnight. http://www.private-eye.co.uk/sections.php?section_link=dumb_britain

Just seen this on TV. Apparently there will be no April Fools jokes this year out of respect for Ronnie Corbett's death.

Could we lose at home to Sphinx in the Champions League?

I get it, nice one Otis.

Well thought through - I agree Lilley.

The running of the club went wrong some years before we were relegated IMO.

Because there were not 3 relegated and 3 promoted last year?

Don't be ridiculous, there must be a supernatural explanation for our plight.

Well, it isn't cheap building a sustainable side; you need to be buying some players IMO - not for the point of buying but for the point of getting the player you want/need. If Mowbray were permitted to spend some of the Maddison money then he should really start on a 2 year plan this summer...

I think you're right. But that doesn't excuse the constant short-termism (including losing managers every 15 months). Success has to be built slowly and methodically IMO.

Well yeah, what is the 2 year plan? I thought about it and posted a thread several days ago - there's no evidence IMO of concerted progress against a plan. Surely the plan isn't to get loads of loan players in every year.

It's more that I cannot see Burton releasing anyone from their first choice 11. If they bring in 5 new players then I suspect they will release some of their second choice players. Do we want them? We're certainly not going to get to choose who we want from their first 11 - not going to happen.

It's more likely we can nick the better players from Crewe than take Burton's IMO.

Thank God Bakes is still here.
