Title: There's more to life than Bart and being a miserable cunt
Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, October 23, 2006, 11:24:23
With all this speculation going on i can't help feel most of us are going to feel a touch down.

Personally i'm always positive, but for once have to conceed that Wise looks to be on his way.

Oh well, life goes on. Seriously, sometimes shit is so out of your control you're best shrugging your shoulders and avioding the issue.

I don't mean burying your head in the sand, i mean getting involved with the negative end of debates only lowers your own mood, the team need a positive fan base.

We have to look to the positives at times like this and try not to be too down. If we are down and we can bring others down with us, just look at Bart, he regularly lowers the tone.

We have got to focus on the good things. We have a good squad, a squad which is fit, a squad with great spirit and good strength in depth.

Our squad is more than capable of getting out of this division, and i feel an average manager, with decent interpersonal skills could take on what Wise leaves and build upon it.

I refuse to believe Wise leaving is going to kill us. I refuse to accept that this could damage our promotion push.

We will get compensation, we will lower the wage bill and WE WILL get a competent manager who will get us promoted. This season will still be good whether Wise goes or not.

you are wrong.

Our squad is only good, fit with a great spirit because of Dennis Wise

Without him we are fucked....no promotion, no bonuses to pay...that what we wanted all along isnt it :roll:

I agree with you Barry, I have said elsewhere that we have a squad of players who are decent for this level. They are reasonably fit and well organized. Any half decent manager should be able to get us up.

To say we are fucked without Wise is ridiculous - FACT!

we had a squad that should have been good enough to stay up last season but we didnt because we didnt have a manager with a clue...

Barry and OST - 100% agree.

We are third. other clubs seem to have been able to find competant managers - whisper it quietly - there are 2 clubs with lower profile managers above us. Dennis Wise is not the only compentant manager at this level. He is not god. He has faults.

All is not lost. Some of you need to get a grip.

Time will tell.

After the wave of optimisim that came with DW & GP even this board will not be foolish enough to go for the cheap option. They've tried it before and it didnt work. They know the fans will go apeshit (myself included)

They have a few hendred grand coming in as compo - We will appoint an manager externally - mark my words.

I'm going to regret that :D

Short term I agree.  The club is set-up football wise now that any half decent person should be able to squeeze the results out.  The question would be, given the prospect of us having to employ someone in the Iffy ilk (750k overspend will not vanish overnight) how long can we expect it to last?  I'd think we could still push for promotion, but how long beyond that given the clubs set-up is questionable.

I cant see it .. Wise goes .. the club goes downhill as a result of too much unrest .. players supporters etc etc .. added to the fact we have a massive injury list including top keeper Brez

We'll be fine if we get a replacement with an ounce of managerial nouse. Whether we manage to do that is another thing though.

" Always look on the bright side of life."  (de dum etc)  15 League games ago, we were relegated, had apparently mostly unfit poor players, a failed manager, and no money. Doom-mongers like me predicted free-fall down to the Conference.
Now, we have fit better trained and performing players, (new and old,) we are 3rd in the League, have a successful manager, we are very hard to beat, and most of the football is better to watch than last season's rubbish with it's regular mistakes. We're hard up, but we're not the only ones.
It would take a really awful manager to take us down to the standard of last year
I have brainwashed myself with absurd optimism.  :x

What the fuck do you want Fats?  Are you saying you were conned into spending time and money on the club you are supposed to support?

Most of us will be there (myself excluded due to the impending winter season) regardless of who is manager - which for the record WILL not be King.

Stop throwing your toys out of the pram, stop thinking you are the only person to have invested in this season and for once realise that you are not the be all and end all.  

The club do not give a shit about what you think and quite frankly I don't think many people on here do either.

Oh and for the record I'm inclined to agree with Barry, PM, OST etc.

We went down last season because we were shit and unfit.  Iffy could do bugger all about the fitness levels because it was too late by the time he was put in charge.

This season we are quite good, and more importantly we are fit - already.  It would take a monumental fuck up in this league for us not to feature in the top 7 regardless of who is in charge.

Look at the two teams directly outside the play-off spots - Shrewbury and Accrington - both these teams really are piss poor and if they can get where they are then we should be fine come the end of teh season.

I did yes ... when I feel the club is going in the right direction I will buy a season ticket .. when youve been a season ticket holder from 1981 until McMahon ruined us .. and then again a couple of seasons since .. and all the rubbish that accumulates from it .. i have to justify the cost .. after all it isnt cheap and im not rich ... i normally end up going to 90 percent of the ghome ames even when I didnt have the season ticket i know .. but i have to believe in the direction the board is taking the club - I dont think my love for the town can be questioned .. just my love for the people running it ..
