Pidge Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 9 hours ago, League one forever said: Maxi- no one wants relegation. Why won’t he be here much longer? Who will pay 5/6 million for a badge in lower echelons of league of Two? He’ll be here until either gets his money back, (Never going to happen) or we are relegated/go into admin. Again, I don’t want that, but that is the reality. I see exactly what you are saying LOF, but I have to hope that at some point 1 million (or whatever may be offered) will look better then nothing.

Wardie Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I don't know why anybody is even attempting to predict what the imbeciles will do because they are totally unpredictable, seem to lack any comprehension of just how deep in the sh*t they are and completely incapable of running a tap, let alone a football club. At the moment, the scenarios which appear to have the strongest chance of happening are relegation or administration...or both. In short, it's a nightmare.

al_bro Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 19 hours ago, League one forever said: Completely disagree. So- in your opinion- we’ll have to wait until we go up before someone will think 5/6 million for a badge is fair??? There is no scenario he gets all his money back. None. The second best thing is- he gets some money back. But he won’t accept that. So the best chance of him selling/giving up is when it starts to cost him more money. At the minute the golden share and tv money covers a lot of the budget. When that disappears with relegation, he has a choice. Either throw good after bad (which he won’t) or be forced to give it away/put the club in the admin. If we did get relegated and he decided to walk and put the club into admin., we could very well be relegated again because of the points deduction. Whilst he still convinces himself that he can turn things around he won't go anywhere unless he gets an offer much closer to what he wants.

The points deduction is an EFL sanction if we went into admin in non league it wouldn’t apply unless someone knows better than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just listened to the interview from Curle, no mention of his players not competing for the ball in the first half which was the crux of the problem. Why didnt the interviewer ask him why he insists on the 3 centre backs system when he only had 1 available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emcee_Latic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Brilliant tactics from Curle. 3 at the back (again), 1 of the back 3 not fully fit and gets subbed and no defenders on the bench. Classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, he looked as good as he has in every other position. I can certainly see why Curle has pursued him on so many occasions...the total lump of shit!

He's a right full back shoved there to fill in, far more suited to a flat back 4 as is Couto. However, we know Curle wont change his beloved tactic even if we concede 3 goals every match.

Is that actually the case? If so I could finally understand a reason for Curle using Hope as a left-wing back; as a protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
