Just how many club's below the premier league are living beyond their means? Most would be my guess.

It was my first thought aswell I think he'll stick it out and try to salvage whatever's left of his past reputation

But is it? They seem to be making it harder and harder for the smaller sides to progress/survive in any way, shape or form They won't be satisfied until there's only elite football and every single penny stays within it.

It might sit better with Coventry if that happens but like you say, all over paid but aren't they all?

VAR is only used in the Premier league and shouldn't apply to anything outside of it, that's unless they want to roll it out universally to every game being played and I'm sorry that I'd never accept that yesterday as being offside because it's just wrong. VAR did ruin the game and all Coventry will be left feeling is cheated for the rest of their day's I just hope City absolutely smash that bunch of cowardly united misfits to pieces in the final

Goalkeeper's have always been overly protected and now it's the turn of the defender's What there's such stupidly fine margins, the attacking player should get the benefit of the doubt or it's time to pack it all in. Had it been the other way around, I'd put my house on it not even being checked Big club rules!

Offside should be a yard not a nose hair It's bollocks

That yesterday was disgraceful Time some of the offside rules were updated

Should of saved them the wait and cleared out their lockers straight after the game.

Like the last one, he hasn't covered himself in much glory and it's definitely open to debate

Spot on He needs to ask himself if he's up for the task or not. It's been a real eye opener to see him easily being out thought by opposition manager's who have far less at their disposal, yet seem to be able to cut their cloth and find a way. Hard work helps ofcourse

Like the one previous He just creates alot of it

Don't be silly Obviously got a far better offer than an extended period in NON league

Mellon has only one ace left to play as far as I'm concerned, He needs to find a way of bringing his son in, to help dad out of the sticky situation and in this league, that could be a marriage made in heaven.

Believe me, businessmen, don't get taken for a ride either. Said it many times before, the goodwill and support from the Rothwells, shouldn't be taken for granted like it has been after two completely wasted season's. No plan or real application from all those he's funding, the lot of them should hang their head's in shame, it's abysmal and that's putting it mildly.

In this league, YES it's a no brainer

Come summer, we'll go from being a team full of lemon's to a team full of Mellon's, that's if he's still here. Will it be a shit or bust third season in for Frank? Then what?

Ask yourself this question and I'm sure many fan's like myself will do the same How in hells name did we ever end up from where we've been, with team's of player's who left everything on the pitch and more, up against sides league's above and taking them all the way, to this pathetic, roll over, can't be arsed natured entity of a club? We shouldn't be down here full stop and any acceptance of it is an insult to everything that went before, We need to be back in the football league as a matter of urgency, no more false dawn's, it needs doing and if manager's heads roll and player's get binned off in order to achieve this. Then so be it!

Great post This could end up being long and protracted, such is the level of dissatisfaction

I can't take that approach or I'd find myself calling the samaritans When Frank stepped in, It was like all my christmases had come at once, a biblical moment. My own disappointment must be miniscule compared to his and I pray that he keeps the faith and gets to enjoy the success he so deserves.

Norwood is far too good to be playing at this level Atleast that's what's rattling about in that head of his and it shows

Yes, It was going too well and we all bought into it, such has been the desperation to succeed. It isn't easy being used to decades of abject failure and we definitely had a tiny glimmer of hope to tease us. Not to be yet again and sadly I'm feeling it might just be the exact same next season

Sadly, as we all know It's often the way

We've been put out of our misery like an old dog I'll put my lucky shirt away as it won't be needed for a few month

Fair play Can't enjoy it as we once did with cameras watching your every rev That back road from settle past Ribblehead is a nice run and be sure to visit ye olde naked man bakery before fuelling up on the way out
