Would that be THE Lincoln City who haven't got any money, have lower crowds than we do and are currently only 3 points behind us?
And who are truly peed off with their manager,still would not mind Bencherife though.

Because he's failed miserably! And continues to fail. He's a master at failure. And the club is suffering. He's racking up debt like i don't know what. And continues to make the same mistakes. Not mention his embarrassing media kick outs.
He's cut my club to shreads so much so I'll nickname him jihad. i John!!!

I said in the last few years. You can't compare now with before he started it's not a fair comparison.
Name your date then. There is no point in the Fenty reign where things haven't been on a gradual slide. Oh yes, I remember, we had a manager that he pushed out of the way because he went back on a new deal. Yes 2005-6, things have improved massively since then haven't they?

All I really want to know is how we can be better off spending less money NOW - as a few of the most extreme critics of the regime here pontificate - then we are currently. To my mind we have a competitive squad, one of the better managers, and a reasonable record over the last couple of seasons. We couldn't afford any of the squad or the manager with less money, the odds would be stacked against us to do as well as we even are in this season without it, we may even have to go part time for a bit. The only real answer you get back from anyone is the usual diatribe about years of decline.

You keep saying " my club " Well it's not yours is it? If anything although I think of it as OUR club, It is more John Fenty's than anybody, How much money have you put in and how many unpaid hours have you put it ?

Have you not read any of my posts? I've stated over and over that you can't/won't get out of this league on the cheap - not a top 10 budget, probably not a top 5 budget - I fear that you need to have a top 3 budget to get out of this league. Usual diatribe about years of decline? However rose-tinted your specs are, we've dropped around 60 places down the league ladder plus the 8 this season under this regime. Come on, get your facts right!

I assume you have done a thorough analysis of the available data to reach this remarkable conclusion. I seem to remember AFC Wimbledon and York getting promoted when they weren't amongst the pre-season favourites. But since you have the data to hand no doubt you will correct me. I don't dispute the years of decline happened. I was here for them all. But they have nothing to do with the answer to my question.

Of course outsiders get promoted but more often than not, the clubs with the biggest budgets are the most successful. Being as you're prepared to bet on us to lose, I'm sure that you have had this months housekeeping budget on Burnley to win the Prem. Informed opinion suggests that we need a stronger budget to get of the Conference, especially if we employ a manager who's short on tactics, team selection and charisma. Regarding the decline, are you rescinding the word 'diatribe' now that you've admitted it happened? Let's not let the facts get in the way.
