We’ve definitely progressed this season. Shame we didn’t add quality in January but if we do in summer we’ll progress again next season. We should definitely try and pick up some of the better players from the relegated sides. Maybe Styles, or Szmodics/Grant from Posh? Depends on who we keep and whether the owners up the budget I guess.
Would take Styles. Szmodics and Grant wouldn’t get a game for us.
We are getting better season on season and after some games I avoid this place on purpose as can be a very negative place even after close victory's.
So the change of manager is the reason for the downturn this season Grendel?Barnsley made amazing progress last season

No the point is there is a glimmer of optimism and positivity in this thread. Let me extinguish that for you.
January showed the doubters thatI don’t see any optimism with these owners in charge

Progress despite the owners is the key comment.and to keep maintaining progress is the great part of robins tenure and it does make wonder what happens when he hits a wall .I think we have made progress, but acknowledge that's despite the owners; not because of.
It does for a weekOf course we are and over several seasons.
Our fans need to stop predicting results week in week out and melting down when it doesnt happen.
Other teams lose too.
Keep chipping away. We wll lose between now and the end of the season. Losing with 15 games to go doesnt end your season.
So we are going down next season?Barnsley made amazing progress last season
No the point is clubs like us who have owners purely focused on investor returns will adjust to see that indeed happens and the club is of little consequence
I can assure you that the strategy of both the owners and the investors is to reach the Premier League
After a good season our biggest issue is being able to keep hold of our better players next season.
We have a lot of saleable assets now and we know the owners don't mind selling and giving Robins 10-20% of the fee to replace them with. If we sell any (Or all God forbid) Sheaf, Hamer, Ohare or Vik we will be starting from scratch again. You see the good teams bring in and let go 2 or 3 players a window not 7 or 8.

We have to sell players to have a transfer pot for the next season
I think SISU have been very sensible in terms of investment - with my fans head on with no consideration of finances of course I'd love them to plough x millions into chasing an optimistic dream but being sensible I am happy with progress and look forward to seeing how we do our business in the summer.
Also to say if MR had a mid table budget we'd be top 6 is incredibly simplistic and not necessarily a view I'd agree with - when he has has money he often has not got it right.....most of our bigger budget investments for instance.
Walker
Wagorn
Bidwell (at present)
Also think not many sides realistically have 22 championship level players in their squad - Cardiff certainly didn't they blooded lots of youngsters.
I think it is only really sides recently relegated who have the parachute payments who are able to do that such as Bournemouth.
Whatsmore if we did for arguments sake get 22 players in think it would destroy harmony in the squad with more angry players - plenty of rumours going around about Waghorn and Walker complaining about game time and Bidwell did not look a happy chappy yesterday!
Let's see where we end up at the end of the season - I think we will have improved but need a major restructure cutting out lots of deadwood. Loaning out players and still playing most of their wages doesn't count......seen people spouting loads of nonsense about eight out and one in that financially simply is not the case.
It was a vital win yesterday I think the play offs just beyond us but hope I'm wrong - Tuesday game against Bristol City is a biggie and they've just beaten MIddlesbrough at home.
While we almost certainly will sell this summer we didn’t actually do that last time when cash was spent on Gyo
I prefer a sensible (for football) strategy that doesn't go massive potential rewards in exchange for massive risk. We've been there and it's not nice when it goes wrong.I think SISU have been very sensible in terms of investment - with my fans head on with no consideration of finances of course I'd love them to plough x millions into chasing an optimistic dream but being sensible I am happy with progress and look forward to seeing how we do our business in the summer.

You said Gyokeres, Dabo and Moore were leaving in January. It's almost as if you don't know what you're talking about.
No I did t but never mind.
