12 points off the playoffs, wouldn't we be better saving our money for the summer now? I know we are not safe yet but it is still VERY unlikely we will even get close to going down.


Is it that unlikely? If Forest Green win their game in hand, we're only 6 points from the second relegation spot. I doubt forest green will put together much of a run, but they wouldn't have to the way we're playing. And all those teams below us are scoring more than us, which gives them a better chance of picking up points than us. Ultimately, it only takes a forest green to string a couple of results together and us to continue this rut and we're in the midst of it.

We'd be 8 points ahead of the second relegation spot because FGR would overtake Chesterfield.

Unless of course Chesterfield win on Saturday (home to Stevenage) and we lose to the league leaders. Both them and FGR have something we don't, namely a regular goalscorer, and both have better recent records than we do. Twice in the last 10 seasons, we have had runs of over 20 games winless. Six of those seasons were spent in non league, so if you just count league seasons, that's not good reading. It can happen, it has happened, and still fresh in my memory.

A rolling contract means that you have whatever its' duration to pay. I'm told Slade is on a longer, fixed term contract but no-one seems to know how long!

Think the clubs need to gid rid of bench warmers hemorrhaging money from club first either that or get a manager willing to give them a proper chance to see if they are any good.

It's between 33/1 and 40/1, the bookies have worked it out. We are 150/1 to get promoted. We are almost guaranteed to have no meaningful football for months.

I'd say put the money aside and start planning now for August! Starting with the manager!

Based on what has happened so far. They have no idea what will happen from here on in. Those odds could drop dramatically, or rise, depending on future results.

I keep telling you. I know it seems crazy but it's true.  £138K  for  4years. fixed term contract. Don't know what escape clauses if any but will try to find out without getting anybody in trouble.
