Yes, I agree. But we were still in the top 6. It was a steady decline, but the right wheeling and dealing in January could have easily had us back on track.We were top in mid November, then the wheels came off mate. A steady descent from then. results from other teams losing slowed the downward drop. We caught the other teams napping, but they worked out our strategy and nullyfied it. By mid January our season was all but over, apart from a little run of 4 wins right at the end of the season.
It's not about the level for me. It's more to do with the spirit of the team and more wider the club as a whole.
Pre Xmas I was majorly turned off with crap football and bad results, as someone else has eluded to TF's radio interviews didn't help either. But with the appointment of RS, better performances and some what seem on the face of it good signings I'm feeling motivated again.
Yep, that's me too.I'm always up and down like a yo-yo myself. It's one of the reasons why I always go to the trophy games. Aside from them being midweek which is always better for me we inevitably look good against lesser opposition and score some goals. This lifts my spirits and encourages me to return. If it wasn't for these games in the last throws of SP's reign I'd probably have given up. Certainly until Mowbray arrived. Pre Xmas I was majorly turned off with crap football and bad results, as someone else has eluded to TF's radio interviews didn't help either. But with the appointment of RS, better performances and some what seem on the face of it good signings I'm feeling motivated again. Will I continue to support if we went down to league two? Absolutely. Would I continue to support if we were non league? Absolutely. How many games would I attend? Probably the same as I do now and for the same reasons. So it depends on how motivated I am. See above for how that's generated. It's not about the level for me. It's more to do with the spirit of the team and more wider the club as a whole.
I do think the spirit of the club is definitely missing at the moment.
My tipping point is when I read some of the utter shit on this site, and the pure embarrassment I feel at some of my fellow CCFC fans, fans who claim others have 'mental heatlh issues' or similar, because of their opinion.
We live in a democracy and the utter shit peddled on this site makes me ashamed of supporting the club at times. Couple that with my hatred of SISU and I am on the edge. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope SISU will go, and that I don't sit next to one of these twats at the ground.
At the moment all I see is loan players coming and going.
Academy players with an ounce of promise being sold
There is no real plan from the board for stability and longevity which breeds success
No surprise then of where we are in the league
Do you have that selective vision where it only sees things you want to? I've seen somebody sign in the past week that isn't a short term loan.
So your one point by default overules all that Ecky has said?Do you have that selective vision where it only sees things you want to? I've seen somebody sign in the past week that isn't a short term loan.
If you have a tipping point then i would question whether you support the team that much anyway. Supporting your team is for life, good or bad, successful or not.
I certainly couldn't just switch off my support. Whlst there is a CCFC then I'm there regardless of the league.
You will get results with a decent mixture of youth, experience and maybe a couple of loans.You know what I mean Nick that's an exception, as a rule that's how this club functions
Look how many just went back?
You won't get anywhere and have progression and stability with loanees and while you keep selling your promising youngsters.
You don't have to sell everyone to keep making a quick buck, but fisher will to balance the books as next season the gates will be even less
I see your point, I guess my follow up question is: when is your team not your team?
Let's say we did an MK Dons and moves city, changed name, changed kit, everything (I know it's unlikely but that's not the point), would you still count us as "your team" or would you see that as a natural end point?
It feels like a tipping point because the thought of going to a game doesn't exactly fill me with joy
If your fielding a different team week in week out and starting all over again in Jan and close season your chances of promotion are very slimYou will get results with a decent mixture of youth, experience and maybe a couple of loans.
Look at how slade only played Sterry last game because he didn't want to rely on any of the others.
If your fielding a different team week in week out and starting all over again in Jan and close season your chances of promotion are very slim
That's why good clubs have a good preseason with a nucleus of settled consistent players, and then if needed they strengthen by adding to it
We haven't done that for years, who's the longest serving player at the moment we have bought?
I've said before, if we move miles outside of the city it will not feel like my club anymore.I see your point, I guess my follow up question is: when is your team not your team?

Yes, that's where managers take the blame as well.
Bought as in for money or a permanent signing?
Yeh bought in as a permanent
This thread is probably a really bad idea, but fuck it.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that Sisu do the worst case scenario and we just keep slowly sliding down the divisions in a vicious circle of cutting costs -> getting worse -> cutting costs.
Wondering what people's personal tipping point would be to either give up altogether or support a "new" CCFC?
Are you here until the end even if we end up with a team of academy kids playing in front of 2k at the Butts? Would a drop out of the league be it? Would it take some action from the owners to convince you there's no light at the end of the tunnel?
Just curious, don't want to start a fight or anything. Been thinking a lot about how resilient a club is to lack of success and who owns the "real" CCFC.
And no, I don't care if you don't think the hypothetical will happen, that's not how thought experiments work.
The bloke behind me who shouts forward every 30 seconds might end up being my tipping point. Or his mate who gives a running commentary that makes CWR sound like the golden years of Motson.
Did he have doc martens and braces on?guy behind me at scunthorpe game said are agyei wright and sordell triplets? they all look the same!
his mates laughed heads off
no one else did..
