Quoted from Grantley
I’m sick of this claim that we never challenged for the title. People seem to forget we were a point off Barnet going into Easter Weekend before, in fairness, blowing it.


We didn't.



Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Struggle? Can someone remind me of the finishing positions when Hurst was in charge on his own? Not forgetting the tight budget!!!!

Quoted from promotion plaice

Assuming the worst happens we should have one of the best playing budgets in the Conference.

There will be only two clubs on full EFL parachute payments and one will be us.



Wrexham might be big spenders next year with two Holywood stars as owners now. Suspect they'll have a bigger budget that anyone.

You happy with all the failed promotion attempts then. I don’t call it success.

We only really disappointed against Newport in those attempts. Bristol and Gateshead both had some dubious officiating that helped them along

Why don't you support your original statement with facts? You said we will struggle. I asked where we finished in the seasons under Hurst on his own. All the evidence points towards us being more than competitive and at least a top 4 finish.

Our only target in non league was promotion. We failed to get automatic promotion in any of the seasons. I consider this to be struggling, the lowest point ever in this great clubs history.
If you consider reaching the play offs and failing to secure promotion a satisfactory outcome for a season, you will be forever doomed to the level of mediocrity you support. Top four is rubbish if you don’t go up.

On this, we will have to agree to disagree.

I know, for a fact, that our budget was never in the top 5 for the entire time in the conference (same source that confirmed the takeover was happening, which I stated on here 48 hours before the last announcement). If finishing anywhere between 2-24 is failure in your eyes, then so be it.
