Takeover talks having a derogatory effect on results?

[sonic youth]

I think not.

Bucks25 posted on thisisstfc.co.uk that if it weren't for the takeover, we'd have gone on a 17 game unbeaten streak like Hartlepool and be top of the pile. I decided the only way to prove him wrong was with statistics.

The thread is here.

If we take the starting date of takeover talks as the day on which the Fans' Consortium was formed (26/09/06) then the subsequent results are such:

P21 W11 D3 L7 (19 games under Sturrock, 2 under Williams)

Results prior to the formation of the Consortium, our results were:

P17 W9 D5 L3 (all under Wise)

This shows that we've won more games since the Consortium was formed but drawn less and lost a few more - hardly a huge difference and barely a negative effect whatsoever.

If someone was to be particularly fecetious, they could highlight recent results as being poor due to talk of protests et cetera - P2 W0 D1 L1 is our form. However you can't draw conclusions from such a poor sample, so time will tell.

In summary, anti-consortium types fuck off!

just looking for excuses..

The results have dipped, because the performances have got considerable worse in recent weeks.

Also, I dont think (I know I keep going on) that shipping out so many players in January helped

Sonic I think the guy who made that post may be depriving a village of an idiot somewhere, for example his post on todays game

I can only hope he wasn't serious being serious when he wrote that.

Off to the game now.

Oh of course we would be! we would have still been in the F.A Cup aswell and playing either Arsenal or Chelsea in todays Carling Cup Final in Cardiff.....oh why did we have to start this boardroom wrangle?

Reg floated the theory that these player bonuses they were promised wont be paid even if we do go up, and that has hit morale.

[The_Plagiarist]

I think though that the bonuses are perpetually based on league position. ie for every week we're in third they get x amount, if we drop to fourth the next week they get a little less etc etc. so they're not win bonuses as such, more weekly league position bonuses.
that was my understanding anyway
