So we are bigger than the likes of forest Leeds and Southampton who all failed to get promotion out of this division at the first attempt?
Did you think lucky under Thorn in the championship or under Strachan in the PL ? .
Jimmy Hill had six years as our manager and Cantwell five in charge,they both were eventually successful.Yet rarely do managers get that long these days,eighteen months is about the average.
Maybe the time for us to give a manager a decent run is now ?
With the exception of Wolves who have parachute payments and Brentford I think we have been backed as much if not more so than any other league 1 club. I am not sure who you are expecting us to sign Big Ron.......Lionel Messi or the board are shit from what I can gather. We signed dennis wise when he was past his best but look what he still did for us!!!
Downwards is not an option and doesn't exist. Onwards & UPWARDS!
"Think Lucky and You'll be LUCKY".
So why hasn't SP got us in the top 2 then?
You cant have it both ways, either he has been backed (which I don't agree with) in which case he is failing, or he has been let down by an incompetent board.
You choose which.
Wow, shame more people post in here than the highlights thread.
You mean Leeds that finished in the play offs every year they were down here?
Or do you mean Southampton who would have finished in the play offs had it not being for a points deduction?
I also very much doubt Forest fans were congratulating themselves on a mid table league 1 finish.
This thread is an embarrassment to CCFC, and considering what's gone on lately, that is saying something.

Virtually impossible to get into the top 2 after a 10 point deduction.
You have of course gone on record as saying you wouldn't care if the club suffered successive relegations so lets be polite and say your views are somewhat prejudiced.
That's shit apparantly - we are a big club. Lets ignore clubs like forest and Leeds and also Southampton - they clearly aren't as big as us.
You've also gone on record as saying a £1.3m rent over 5 years ran up £50m+ of debt so lets be polite and say that maths isn't your strong point.
Probably best you don't respond to posts about points deductions or anything else regarding numbers eh?
You have of course gone on record as saying you wouldn't care if the club suffered successive relegations so lets be polite and say your views are somewhat prejudiced.
Yep the 10 point deduction is the cause of no top 2 finish.
The fact we are now 34 points of 2nd is all down to the points deduction.
So many damming and negative threads but nobody has pointed out that Steven Pressley has once again been backed by our owners and in a recent interview praised the support he's had from Steve, Tim & Joy.
Midfielder Anton Robinson, Striker Nathan Eccleston & David Prutton come in at a critical time and bring a useful blend of youth & experience in this division and above. This is good news that goes virtually unnoticed because of blinkered and obsessive views that focus only on one aspect of the Club.
Steven has openly stated that he's not a huge fan of either the January 'Transfer Window' or the 'Loan System' and didn't want to committ to making any permanent signings other than in the close season.
The 10 point deduction and other circumstances (like an unsettled disruptive player, engineering a 'transfer request') and suspensions & injuries have meant he's had to compromise and try and use the 'Loan System ' as it exists to our advantage.
Having done such an incredible job in his first full season despite the obvious adversity and points deduction, we are on the up and long may it continue.
The debt isn't £50 million and of course you won't find one post where I said that. As usual you resort to lies and misinformation to try and dig yourself out of a big hole.
Also avoiding the issue that you wouldn't care less if the club suffered two successive relegations.
Please try and be just a little more realistic, we've suffered a 10 point deduction in successive seasons and this must have a huge physiological effect on not only the club, staff & players but also the supporters.
Why do some of you lot even respond to RFC (who is clearly a club insider)
Other clubs managed it.
Why do some of you lot even respond to RFC (who is clearly a club insider) and Grendel (who is clearly a council hating,
failed politician).
By the way some of us over here starting 'thinking lucky' and look what's happening to us, but then again there are over 20 odd thousand
of us thinking it and not 500!
He has been backed. However it should have happened in January or the summer. With Pressley's style people were always going to burn out. We needed two of similar calibre in every position
Also, I can't help look at Liverpool and think. They turned round when I bid came in and a player spat his dummy out and demanded to go and they stood their ground.
Yes I know we are not Liverpool but it is all relative.
What would Leon have done if we said. No we are not selling you. We will listen to offers in the summer.
Over to you strike and see what offers you get in the summer or finish as the leagues top score then see.
Saying that with everything that is going on I am glad the club allowed two players in.
More likely to be linked to ACL or CCC if anyone!
So he's been backed, and the best he could manage is mid table mediocrity?

...a damned sight more than many realistically thought we'd achieve
PUSB
wahey, a 1-0 win at our home, some 35 miles away in front of 1,300 cov fans against Stevenage
and to top off a cracking 24 hours, we signed a Huddersfield reserve.
