They've had 22 years to realise our potential and still we hear the same rhetoric Just like to say well done to Ipswich Town a well run club with no parachute payments promoted to the prem at the 1st attempt. Perhaps Mark Ashton wasn’t the problem after all?! The status quo will continue next season and for the foreseeable under this Zombie ownership. There will be 3/4 players going out and the same coming in, possibly of a lower quality than those exiting. One or both of Pompey and Derby will leapfrog us. Another season will pass by false dawn after false dawn. Rinse and repeat (again). 21 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eddie Hitler Posted May 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4 The only duty of the owner of a club is to leave it in a better position than it was when they took it over. For all the "might have beens" can anyone seriously argue that the Lansdown family has not improved the club under their ownership? 16 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy to draw a line under this season and give Manning a clean slate, though I’m far from convinced. However, get off to a poor start and I expect the majority of the flak to be directed at the owners and Tinnion. They lost me when they appointed Holden, looks like many many more have had enough of this ownership now. 13 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Decision not to back NP, or show a pathway to bring backed and provide with a new contract combined with the nest egg comments did it for me. We can but hope that the opportunity to build on a solid base is taken this summer, to salvage it as best we can. I'm hoping.. *New contact for James *New contract for Williams *New contract for Conway or at worst wait and go to Tribunal. *Twine or other 10 and striker. *Keep anyone else who is key, stand firm. Plus without going nuts if we can get depth to improve the position a bit, we go for it. Still think a 4th CB but then I'm pro 4-3-3 so maybe I'm out of touch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the reason no one has taken over yet is cos SL wants all his money back! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us remember that also in those 25 years, Blackpool, Bmouth, Luton, Brighton, Cardiff, Swansea, Brentford etc etc have all tasted the Premier League before we have. Bar the infrastructure it has been a complete and utter failure. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Fevs! Hence my 'money back' shout. The amount of spending without relative reward is obscene. I would go as far to say we must be one of the most inefficient clubs in that regard & I also think SL will want his money back as a minimum. This is probably the reason no one can afford us as they will have to pay a disproportionate amount. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time I've felt that the mentality of the club (and large parts of the fanbase too if we're being honest) is something that holds us back. I think the fans of many other clubs would laugh at what we sometimes consider to be "success" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest they should also be busting a gut at all times to get the club as high up the tree as possible. Have they really done that? Have they been physically and mentally present enough to achieve anything more? Too many occasions where we've all been left thinking, if only we'd done a bit more. It's a C+ for me, capable of achieving so much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
