Bristol Rob Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Can't imagine Wally is too happy playing his version of Football Manager at the moment. Not when it is costing him hard cash. Guess the reason why he never held a senior role in the family banking business is now starting to dawn on the fewers. He might have access to cash, but not the ability to earn or generate it. He'll soon get bored as having a lower league football club relegated, that play in tented stadium isn't going to do anything for his FIFA ambitions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. In 2011 I spoke to William Hill and asked them to give me odds for the Gas to stay up when they were in a similar position. Managed to get 5/1 (admittedly I think Gas were actually bottom of the table and a point or two further adrift but still in touch of 5th from bottom).

Our home form is diabolical, our away form clearly isn't diabolical under Pearson whereas the Few are just diabolical full stop. Those six teams at the bottom of League 1 would struggle to reach 10 points if you put them in the Championship and that's not an exaggeration (I accept we are talking different budgets entirely for most of those sides but the Fewers wage budget seems to at least be on a par with Wycombe and not hugely below Rotherham). It's good, old fashioned rivalry and they aren't shy in dishing it out and when you add the complete delusion, lies and hypocrisy (a.k.a. #gaslogic) that gets spouted over there they deserve everything they get from us!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I don't think he's going to need any luck to beat that rabble. They are doomed to spend a season in L2 next year. I would love to see him wind up Joey Barton though. Even take a punch if possible. Perhaps he can trip him up if he strays into his technical area.

If you think that I’m not going to mercilessly rub their noses in it IF they get relegated just because we lost to Rotherham in a division they haven’t been in for 3 decades then you’re very much mistaken mate. 7 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about ‘the great reset’ by all in his post match interview by all accounts This is the latest rope that the Few are hanging onto now. Fair play to Barton, whether you love or loathe his personality, he's not as stupid as some people think and knows exactly what he's dealing with up there both in terms of Board and particularly the fans. He's got them on strings and persuaded many of them that if the drop happens (which they seem to have broadly accepted) there's no problem and this "big reset" is going to be the beginning of domestic football domination by Horfield FC. Making statements like "we will get this done" is all you have to do up there because their fanbase simply don't have the bollocks to look at things realistically and question whether what is being promised is actually deliverable. All you have to do is make the promise and if you get found out 12 months down the line so be it. Of course, if he gets sent down in the summer then they really do have a problem.

Most people come on this topic when there is little going on at "our end" in the main, usually for a bit of fun. So in an international break when little is coming out of the club (understandably) and the Few slip into the relegation zone you are going to have a higher volume of traffic than normal which is precisely what has happened. The only thing that has prevented this club moving forwards is poor decision making at Board and Owner level and certainly not any "Banter" we have with the Few. It's an argument that does not stand up to any scrutiny as it has no impact whatsoever on the way our club is run. I would suggest that if roles were reversed we would get it coming our way a lot worse than we dish out tbh..........far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
