Get that. But it still works on the presumption that Accrington’s owners aren’t pumping money in to increase their playing budget. Or any other club in the league for that matter with lower gates. Maybe all clubs in this league are operating at cost neutral same as us but I doubt it.

Yeah. The academy takes £600k out the club every season, yes some of that investment comes back in transfer fees but we aren’t the only club who sell players and other clubs sell players without the same initial investment. You then have to factor in outside investment from owners. The thinking...

How many clubs have bounced straight back up after relegation to league two over the last couple of seasons?

If it is 50% I wonder how that compares to other clubs in league 2?

They’re really surprising stats given that all the “best” advice seems to be sack the manager as a knee jerk reaction to a dip in results.

Lots of people. People I talk to at the game, people on the phone in and on here. This thread is coming from that angle. How many times have you heard it said that if X club only gets 3k gates why can’t we beat them. It’s all saying in one way or another that we sell 7k tickets for home games...

I think a lot of people confuse turnover for budget. Yes it’s probably been a decent (for recent history anyway) twelve months of turnover when you consider Wembley windfall, incoming transfer fees, decent cup run etc. but don’t be suckered into thinking a linier amount of this translates into...

I think it’s more of an assumption than a fact.

Why? Just why do you continue with this nonsense? If you take his first six games in charge that form would have seen us not only promoted but promoted as champions. I’ve not cherry picked games 4-6 as you now seem to be insinuating I’m talking about games 1-6. Keep coming up with the Grendull...

Some fans. Not “the fans”. Other than that bang on.

Well at least you’re admitting it wasn’t relegation form, I suppose we can class that as progress. Again, if you’re going to “challenge” me read what I’ve written. I said his first six games in charge were promotion form. If I was to be pedantic it was actually champion form. But you keep...

Four points from three games is relegation form? Try again. If that had have been our seasons form we’d have finished 15, three places ahead of where we did finish. It also would have seen us safe from relegation by 19 points that season. More Grendull “facts”.

It’s SISU’s fault we’re in league 2 they have through neglect and incompetence created an environment for failure. Robins has to overcome that as well as overcome frailties on the pitch. How many other managers have to deal with that who are above us.

He wasn’t losing games in January. Are you saying he’s lost his way? Who does he get guidance from? If he has lost his way after Xmas why does this pattern keep repeating? Pressley, Mowbray now Robins. Why? Do they all “hate” CCFC? Maybe someone keeps employing managers who “hates” the club so...

It’s bigger than budget. If it wasn’t Portsmouth would have got out of this league first time of asking. I suspect that maybe four teams above us have a bigger budget than us but even then three of them have given the manager time to build. The ones that haven’t got a bigger budget have...

Managers of teams above us either receive financial support from the clubs owners or have been given time to build. The owners don’t want to support the manager and fans don’t want to give him the time to build. Managers above us for the most part have been in the job for 2+ years, you don’t...

Shut up you flounce

Don’t recall saying his first three games was anything else. I talked about his first six games. Didn’t claim his stats were any good after those first six games, actually made the point of saying he was shit aside from the first six games. So if you want to challenge me at least read what I’ve...

Like you say with the kids it can come back to mentality and self confidence too, it’s always the least self confidence people that get bullied and that is something that can be a trait of youth. Certainly was for me. Not always though as in DKE’s cases but stature for them can allow them to be...

Hardly news this is a mans league. Big part of the reason it’s difficult to get out of. Biggest wimp who’s played for us this season is the Duck. Thought he was going to start crying when Robins wouldn’t sub him. Talented player with bags of potential but frightened of getting tackled, not a...
