    yeah sure, at least given up more chances but it's been more fun in general - of course we will never know how we would have been with a target man here under Morison for example but hey that's water under the bridge now

    We only stayed up this because of Reading - assuming of curse that Burnley will batter us. Unless something changes with the players / people running the club - we'll be down next season - and probably deserve to be

    Wickham? Really. On what? He's had one good game and that aside he's been ineffective.

    If it wasn't for our players on loan and Reading's points deduction we would have been relegated. With no money to spend and our transfer ban we must be certainties for relegation next season.

    In fairness Tan is keeping the club afloat and I hope that the fact he's jetting in doesn't signal that he is stepping even further back from the club as we cannot expect him to further put his hands in his pocket when the payback is a fair amount of abuse. Of course the club is in as much a perilous position - probably more - than it was when he first arrived but the game has changed markedly since then. We have to be realistic and all the talk on here about loan signings we can't afford is as much a way off the mark as is the talk of reaching the playoffs next season.

    Just watching a couple of videos of City v Burnley and Norwich circa 2009, 2010. It's another world in football terms. We've declined bit by bit until we're hanging in the Championship by the good luck of other's misfortune, and there actually being a couple of teams worse than us.
    I've no idea what Vincent Tan expects next season, though from 5000 miles away he probably doesn't get as realistic a picture from those of us sat 50ft away each home game.

    We now Choo is part time/ remote worker , Dalman is very rarely at the club that Im aware of.
    So is the day to day person running the sh1t show on a daily basis ?

    Does the manager, Choo, Dalman and Tan ever speak ? - the impression I get is that we are an amateur business being run by amateurs and given the state of affairs at the club is that the wrong assumption ?

    If it wasn’t for Burnley scoring goals and not letting the opposition score they would be certainties for relegation next season.

    They’ve done it before.

    That’s how we got Zahore.

    hopefully tan gives him a kick up the backside and tells him to stop playing HOOFBALL

    then he can take it or leave it -mic drop-

    In which case it's about time he sells up and gives someone else a go. Otherwise it's oblivion for us.

    Yes, there's a massive queue of buyers out there.

    Sadly Football Club Owners R Us closed down.

    So if they hadn't scored goals this season and not let the opposition score this season, they would be certainties for relegation next season?

    If they hadn't scored goals this season and not let the opposition score this season, they'd have scored 0 and conceded 0 goals, they'd be on 45 points now, 46 if the trend continued to the end of the season. That means a chance they'd be relegated this season if Reading win. It says nothing about next season.

    Having scored goals and letting the opposition score, by contrast, they'd won the title and promoted, appearing to be certainties to be relegated from the Prem.
