Yo-Yo club

Quoted from GrimRob

Chesterfield are the last of the stronger clubs from when we were in the National League not to make it up. Finishing 2nd or 3rd gives you one less play-off game so I feel that if we did go down a top 3 finish is not beyond us. If we didn't come back quickly though I think we'd just stay non-league for a long time. The gap between League and non-league could well widen next season with the new TV deal, it should make the L2 clubs have more money which could see some of the best NL players leave.

Totally agree with this. What is the new TV deal worth per soeson for league clubs ve before and what is the parachute payment? Last time it was 1m for a league team and I got about half that as a parachute

Not sure what the financial details are but it's a big change. If we miss out it will be a real blow, non-league will be left behind, even BT might not bother with it. only plus point is 3pm Saturday kos.

Unless there's enforced rules, clubs will still spend it all on player salaries. The financial gap will widen, but we'd be competing with NL clubs so should still have a big pull.

I don't want to go down, but at least we win more than we lose down there. I prefer that to what we've had in every L2 season since Slade left the first time.

With the current manager and squad I don't think we would be anywhere near a top 3 finish.

There's not a cat in hells chance he'll be here next season. He's already had the vote of confidence. He'll be gone in the next week.

God I really hope you’re right. We might actually stay up.

The players are probably as desperate as all of us for him to go. Morecambe home win will be a racing certainty if we're daft enough to give him another game. No way he'll be given FGR.

I'm 70 and I guess a lot of people my age who've seen Town play in what's now the championship, hold the view that we should be a league one team at worst.
However, the last couple of weeks I'm thinking that maybe we just going to be a crappy league 2 team at best. It's a really depressing thought and I'm struggling to get my head round the reason. We're well supported and surely to goodness we should be able to compete with the likes of Wycombe?

I’ll be honest I’ve felt we had become a yo-yo club for a few years now . It’s looking like PH performed miracles last season and perhaps should of been given January to sort out the mess , (whoever caused it ) . I wasn’t happy with performances under PH and assumed the players had got bored with his approach this season? They perked up a bit when Artell arrived telling the media how much they were enjoying training etc . Then it goes mammaries up again . Someone is responsible for signing these players most of which remind me of every spineless wage stealers we’ve been attracting for 20 years .

In case your wondering I’ve given up trying to offer them my support after that disgraceful excuse for football in that 2nd half

Let's hope so but it isn't just a case of getting rid of the manager but a wholesale change in the playing staff as well as a complete overhaul of the way we choose new players.
