What do people think will need to happen?

rob9872 · May 7, 2012

Absolutely no idea. Could be any of the above or something completely different required.

You missed out a loan Rooney and another half decent striker option

2 people genuinely think we could go down? Would love to know on what basis.

I'm not one of them but why not? There are four places to fill over three for relegation this season. SISU will (as they have proved) if they can, sell anything that moves and our recent history is not exactly painting a picture of success. We hope we've bottomed out but how can we be sure? From top to bottom including the fans we have a losing mentality and something needs to be addressed for that to change. Like you, I hope its not the case but with our likely budget if more players are sold to service the debt and loss of revenue, then its far from inconceivable that it could happen.

Just can't see it.

Too early to predict anything.

rob9872 · May 7, 2012

I don't think we will either, but to question "on what basis?" suggests that you think their opinion is without base and reasoning ... I think I've just outliened why that isn't the case

mark82 · May 7, 2012

I would say one is probably Glen.

A real go is when you get a shag but she still goes home to the boyfriend & it's automatic if you require batteries.

I'm trying not to think about it

What has happened positively now and for the coming season different to last season ? Nothing as i see it.

On the negative side plenty. Loss of TV revenue, propable loss of home fan revenue, definite loss of away fan revenue. The normal away fan attendence was around a 1000 with large followings from Brum, Leeds, Leicester, West Ham. It will be down to less than 500 and no large ones unless Sheffield United don't go up. I'm sure i read that Yeovil took 62 to one game, that would be one coach and three cars.

Sisu will not put extra money in, can only raise money from selling Richard Keogh. They sisu are in the shite, and so are we. They have to sell, i can't see any other way for them.

You seem to see yourself as a harbinger of doom. There are some positives;

- Loss of revenue is certain but the required spend to achieve success is less. Look at some of the teams in the top half of the table - they operate on low budgets
- Crowds will only be down if the team does not perform. If they remain in the hunt for promotion throughout the season they may increase as we enjoy a successful league season for the first time since the late 80's probably. We have not had a top 6 in any league I think since 1977.
- The better supported teams in general do better. We will if Sheffield go up almost certainly have one of the biggest home attendances in the league.
- SISU won't put a lot of money in but they will not have to. Cranie, Eastwood and Clingan's wages alone will save the club £1 million a year in wages and the average wage in Diviision One is less than half that of the Championship.

All that said, if we all adopt your mindset 3 months before a ball is even kicked then you are right - failure is inevitable.

Could it be the electrifying performance,of "Those who saved us"in the five years they've been here.Chris Colemans account of things, should just about clear things up regarding sisu renaging on their pledge to supply a budget of some significance.
I dont think they will go down,{If we are in existance} But I'm expecting a bumpy ride, and its a pity that the performance of "them what saved us"doesn't match the performance of our fans who under the circumstances, have been magnificent, in what has been the Sky Blues darkest Hour.

Players will go to service debt !!!
More academy players promoted to first team squad !!!
Thats only if Sisu commit to even turning up for next season remember no accounts filed yet !!!
So I believe having a go, is currently one dream to far !!!!!

Because of the pointless excersise of this vote I have not voted. My reasoning is that there are to many unknowns to even guess at what might happen. On this basis any scenario is possible even being relegated again.

Which of the options

we could have a real go next season with our current crop plus 1 or 2

we could have a real go next season with 5-6 signings

we could have a real go with 7-8 new players

we need a complete new squad apart from one or two player (keogh clarke)

we have no chance with sisu of going anywhere but down
