The bottom four maybe not full blown latics crisis but not sure any of them are healthy. Don't know if anything is happening behind the scenes at FGR but they look on course for successive relegations Sutton look like they have peaked Rapid manager turnover at Colchester -You probably have more intel on what's happening there than I do Hopefully Salford have peaked and we pass them on their way down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colchester will be on their 8th manager in 3 years- that feels like an indicator of decline. Sutton have a decent non-league pedigree, including famously knocking out the holders of the FA cup. Colchester are usually a decent lower level league club but have spent some time in non-league, but are probably on a downward trajectory. IIRC when we were leading against them in 2022 we were above them, so they aren't recent strangers to relegation peril in League 2. Salford and Forest Green are glorified pub teams. Doesn't FFP cover the last 3 seasons, that might explain their issues, as it doesn't apply in the conference. 1 hour ago, Longlostfan said: Think that is a fair observation Dave.

But that's probably very wishful thinking. I think the money man behind FGR is also funding "Just Stop Oil" so he may not be keeping as keen an eye on FGR as he once was. Plus they keep getting knocked back over a new ground, which may have implications for their FFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough are brilliant in the transfer market…shrewd deals have made a fortune over the years. Not shy at spending a fair few quid on lower league players with mere potential including plenty from non-league yet they’ve managed to sell them on for huge profits! Must have a recruitment specialist similar to that of Unsworth & Thompson!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost their GK (Mair), Forward (Wearne), Main midfielder (Chadwick), RWB (Lofthouse) and two squad players in the last week. They certainly won’t be the same team we faced now.
