Quoted from Posh Harry


That’s like saying Leicester won the premiership one season so why can’t Burnley or Southampton win it.

Is it possible to go up on a small budget, yes of course it is, but it is the exception rather than the rule.

Bottom line is 95% of the time the more money, the better the players and the more chance of success. It’s not guaranteed but it’s more likely.



Extreme example. Look at Man City they were just a ordinary side flirting with prem football Big money backers come along and get the best now they are one of the best sides in Europe.

Yes that is the extreme but none the less you want quality and success in football you need money and plenty of it.

Even teams like Bournmouth, always remember a young Eddie Howes strained face giving away that corner at Wembley 98, in extra time since that defeat the difference in out two clubs as been stark to say the least.

They found a owner prepared to speculate to accumulate through careful investment and vision they are no bigger than us but a hell of a lot better and even chose one of their own to be a young manager who is probably one of the best young ENGLISH manager in the country.

Lower mid table finish, like everyone on here In reality I haven’t got a clue what our exact budget is but generally in football the bigger spenders do better.  

We will progress but unless we get a player to bang in 20+ goals and a couple of others to get double digit promotion will be unlikely.

I'll reserve judgment until I know who we keep and who we bring in. Lost a bit of interest at the moment TBH.

The way we are playing at the moment we will be top half of the conferance  


At last, I was starting to think I was the only one who STILL doesn’t think we’re safe!

We need another win. Lincoln went down on something like 48 points, but they had that tally with 8 games left. In other words, we’re not really in any better a position as they were back then.

You are not on your own, for the last 3 weeks I've been looking down the table rather than up and starting to worry that we're getting slowly sucked back into a position I thought we'd already avoided ...

Not a clue because we don't know what players we will have and other teams. Don't even know who will be in the league so get a life and if it's boring on here find something constructive to do.

The vote is a waste of time at this point, based on no relevant information and therefore little more than a measure of your overall balance of optimism/pessimism and experience following Town.

There's no way we will be relegated if you look closely at the table.

We have fallen into a slump of dreadful results and impotency goals-wise. Hard to escape general feelings of disillusionment, and that's clearly reflected in the votes in this poll and is easy to understand and identify with.

It would need something special for Yeovil and Notts county to overtake us even if we don’t pick up another point

But that's it right there....
We are not safe yet, it would only take them to go on a mad run from now until the end of the season, our performances keep plummeting like that have been and it could truly be squeaky bum time!!...
No time for complacency which, imho, is what I think sank in about 4-5 games ago...
Still, I will admit it does appear we should be safe but until mathematically impossible for us to go down I, unlike some of our squad, will not rest on my laurels..
