Swede Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Is it just me (and I know we're at the wrong end of the League)but there are a number of teams in this League who are struggling with finances and are at best mediocre. 1) Forest (cheap option manager who has been told to cut his cloth etc.(probably nylon) 2) Derby (ditto) 3) Watford (new owner already wants rid) 4) Coventry ( living on Jimmy Hill past glories ) 5) Portsmouth ( look like going into administration again) 6) Barnsley (struggling to get fans in) Is there any others to add in? Surely we should be beating teams like this for a past time . . . what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 All clubs that have been in the PL. Hard to see what makes us superior to them. Mind you there are times when the players seem to think we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Bristol City - if your honest a) Look where we are in the Championship b) without Steve Lansdown and even then we lose millions (lansdown is right when he says BCFC needs to stand on its own two feet?

Replace Lansdown for Ambrovich, Sheik Rattle and Roll at Man C...even Crawleys Chairman to mention but three, it all amounts to the same...not just us.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 6) Barnsley (struggling to get fans in) Barnsley are quite decent this year I think- Hill doing a pretty good job on modest resources...Probably the best placed of the 6 you list yet the only ones we beat!

always hoping Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Is it just me (and I know we're at the wrong end of the League)but there are a number of teams in this League who are struggling with finances and are at best mediocre. 1) Forest (cheap option manager who has been told to cut his cloth etc.(probably nylon) Not sure your assessment is fair. Suspect Forest's previous mgr spent all of the available funds for this season at least. (Bit of a Maclaren trait. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillageRed Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Worse side I've seen at Ashton Gate this year were Reading until someone passed the bet in play brown envlope over and they became world beaters. Mind you the Coventry result takes some getting over, that was a very ordinary side we lost to up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
