JSF dismantled the club until it was no longer a danger.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche


I’m sorry but it is.

We have not been relegated prior to this season, following our return to the EFL.

We haven’t been promoted either, but we certainly haven’t been relegated, and our club has operated on what has been far from being the 24th worst budget in EFL2. So managers have been financially supported in a manner that would not suggest a relegation was on the cards.

The managers have chosen how to utilise that budget. In this instance, our budget was largely spent by Ian Holloway, with his approach and policies for the season.

Ian Holloway is to blame for spending the majority of the budget on a team void of quality and experience, and for miss-managing the entire Covid situation.

It very definitely has been a one season relegation

People can have opinions of the historyonics of things prior to that, and that’s okay. But it doesn’t change the fact that, even though we don’t have the biggest budget in terms of promotion chasing, neither are we anywhere near the 24th worst budget. Our manager was supported financially and Holloway messed up massively

That’s my opinion


Louis Boyd must have cost a fortune in transfer fees, agent fees, and compensation to Healing School.

I’m not sure what your point is.

Boyd was a moment of desperation, a straw clutch, a lucky roll of a dice. Holloway trying to make a Covid statement if you like.

A kid that did well in a moment of the game, receiving a ball well, moving it well and then hitting a well struck shot. Does that make him a star of the future. Does it hell. Hope the kid does make a career for himself, but that one moment doesn’t make him a sustainable success.

I’m really not sure what your point is.

Many would argue, why was he putting a 15 year old kid on the bench when he signed a huge squad of players of his own choice. What does that say about his ability to identify players and sign them ?

Is Philip Nonce still posting??

Could’ve sworn he’s left this forum 20 times in the last 3 months.

Hagrid has you summed up bang on.

If you had anything decent to say it wouldn’t be so bad..but you don’t. Just the same old boring drivel. Your support of your pal has more holes in it than a cullender.

He’s going..apparently..17 years too late btw..I suggest if you’re that fascinated by him you go follow him to whatever he’s doing next and live happily ever after.

Hope you’re happy together.

Whilst you do that this club will get back in its feet, will take time to recover from the monumental intercourse up that it’s been - but with decent people at the helm, and those around, and a fan base that will get behind said people - in time your mates  tenure will be only seen in the clubs history as what it is and has been

A complete failure.

Good riddance.

You said :-

"The managers have chosen how to utilise that budget. In this instance, our budget was largely spent by Ian Holloway, with his approach and policies for the season.

Your blaming Holloway for spending which would have to have been authorized by the board. Everything including recruitment was done on the cheeeeeeeeap. Boyd was just an example.

That’s my opinion

Holloway was completely responsible for mismanaging Covid - all on his own. Do you really believe that, there was no guidance at all...........who would have known that he was TOTALLY responsible. Smart reply
All relegations are one season if we are being pedantic but we have been knocking on the door. How do you not see that.
In my opinion you are blinkered and unable to present a balanced argument. You are one dimensional, any idiot can see that as bad as Holloway was there is more to it.
Your opinion is absolutely unbalanced and drivel- that is my opinion and I suspect that of the rest on here. You are the only one with your opinion , do you not question your logic. Are you so smart and we are so stupid. Plenty of smart guys on here but only one has your opinion and that is you.
I conclude, you are either unable to take off your blinkers or possibly have been hypnotised. My teenagers can present a more coherent argument than you

I’ve put your opinion into Google translate and it’s converted it from Jane Austen back into English. It looks like some of your best work.

opprobrious is the primary one responsible for our demise to non league again under his leadership, obviously. One of the most breathtakingly bad chairmen in EFL history i would imagine, and that's up against some pretty stiff competition!

Hollowhead has a share of the responsibility, but much of what he did (no pre season, inflated size squad of little quality, signing players he had never seen etc was signed off by the board (opprobrious). The opprobrious penny pinching has caught up with us repeatedly, we are constantly circling the plug hole under him, and it was just one time too many. He even penny pinched second time around in January as has been pointed out, when it was so plain we were doomed unless we forked out for proper players all over the pitch.
