Major Isewater Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 With our reported interest in Dack ,Gilbey ,and other top league 1 players does anyone think that Lansdown is preparing for a promotion push from League 1 next season ? It does n't look like ,unless there are stupifying appointments next week, that our owner is looking to push on to the Prem . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Quite possible. End of the day we absolutely should now be planning for relegation as there's a reasonable chance of it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 We have been doing that since August! Still, if we appoint a new manager all will be rosy, we will make a late challenge for play offs and we can do a weekly draw to win a real unicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 If we're looking for positives it's the fact that we know our team can tear league one apart and that there is little risk of anyone wanting to sign anyone from us...

I'm not sure that having a permanent manager will make that much difference, our league position is the bigger factor in my opinion. I just think that the biggest danger is making a rushed and wrong appointment. Dont order the Unicorned beef hash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had us outnumbered , 10 to 1 but we did n't bottle . We armed ourselves with soap from the toilets and cleaned them out . Messy business, lucky we had toilet paper to clean up the mess , what ?

Shtanley Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 If we had recruited the best players from league one in the summer we would actually have gotten some players in and might not have been in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get into the championship again and do what? May as well just stick with what we've got or get in some average league oners. With the present regime, League 1 is all this club is capable of.

Flagon Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think he's definitely preparing for if we go down we need to be in the strongest possible position to go back up. I think he's also hoping for the best with any potential signings that it just gets us to safety and we should in theory have saved a fortune in doing so. Then build properly over the summer with a completed stadium to hopefully get big crowds if we look like pushing up the table and in contention. We must have saved ourselves a fortune with the disastrous recruitment this season and how small our squad is over what will be the last 2 seasons. Watching back the Leeds highlights from Sky show this season off perfectly. We are not far off being a very good side in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players of that ilk number 1 would have certainly improved our squad and number 2 and most importantly back in the summer would have all joined as there was a great buzz around the place. But no we go on some sort of mad rampage to sign players for 8 mill, and we now 7 months down the line have some knob calling himself 'operations manager' saying we need sustainability and to produce more home grown talent hahaha. **** right off. Ive actually got to the point of not caring if we go down now tbh, who gives a fO0k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue the super fans. I know a few people who stopped going a couple of years ago. Last season I told them they were missing out and should try and get down the gate, but they just told me to enjoy it while it lasts because next season will be like the last time we were in that division. Now they keep telling me they were right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
