Shame we haven't played any league games yet, eh?

If we do finish in the play-offs that will be a very good result IMO, given the way things are going at the moment! Still, at least we are ahead of Crawley!!

So what's the plan. Liquidation and then AFC Coventry for runners up spot?

:thinking about:I wish SISU would just liquidate the club so we can form AFC Coventry - the A in AFC will put us nearer the top of whatever league we start in.

Winner
Sheffield Utd 6-1 Betfred
Swindon 11-1 Coral
MK Dons 11-1 Bet 365
Coventry 12-1 Stan James
Preston North End 16-1 Bet 365

So basically Swindon & MK Dons are rated more likely to do better than us :thinking about: :facepalm:

Those thousands of punters who know nothing about us whatsoever and base their backing of us based on the fact that we are a relegated club and "big" in this division. The odds are based on the market, not the actual odds of success. OR the meerkat.

William hill now have us at 10/1 to win league 1. Perhaps we should go on other clubs forums and warn punters not to waste their money. Whilst SISU are here we wont be in the top 10 never mind win it.

Why don't you go on other boards and chat with the fans. You might then see how poor the other teams in this division are. The bookies will know we have about the best team. We just need to add to the squad and a few positions. Other teams need half a first tean just to compete. Wait until the start of the season. You will then see what it is like these days this far down.

There is a step now between the Prem and Championship because of TV money. There is a step between Champ and Div3 because of TV money. Then look at attendances at most clubs in Div3. Where are they supposed to get the money from to put together and keep together decent sides?

I remain to be convinced

A very physical league with a ceratin amount of skill. Power and pace wins the day. Neither of which we have.

Top half will be a very good season. We dont have a winning mentality, and that will take some seasons to turn around. Its going to get worse before it gets better.

We all remain to be convinced. We do have a good base to start with. We need to add some players. It depends on how many we add and what position we add to and also how good they are.
