That doesn't make sense. It's circular.
We are where we are because of mismanagement, but it is not where we deserve to be.
It would only make sense if the club deserves to be mismanaged, but how could that possibly be the case? Do we deserve to be mismanaged because we've been mismanaged? It's circular.
I think this might just be a semantic dispute. I don't think anybody is denying that our current league position is deserved due to not being good enough last season - if that is what's being argued here.
We are a league two side next season because the football club is mismanaged and deserves to be there based on its performances on the pitch and off it No club deserves to be anywhere, they end up where they are because of the owners in charge. There’s no entitlement to it We obviously all want a well run, successful football club. We haven’t been that for a very very long time, and teams which aren’t well run or successful for a very very long time tend to gravitate towards the bottom of the football league |

We're just going around in circles.
I stand by my original comment that STFC should not be in L2. That we are because we have been mismanaged does not change that. (If anything, that we were mismanaged reinforces the point)
That's enough of that for me. I have work to do.

To be fair the way we are being run currently, some could make a case we are lucky to be in the top 4 leagues as it is. Hopefully that doesn't change next season.

we have enough about us to sustain l1 with the odd promotion push. That's where we should be
Enough of what? (serious question not trolling). As it stands we have... Few players zero cash Zero assets A pissed off fan base General apathy in the town to the club An FA charge hanging over our head. Its going to take someone with serious cash and ambition and the ability to engage with the community to move us forward. I know people compare us to Leicester in some ways but if you look at it they got where they are in a very different manner, firstly the ground was sorted and then 7 years later the were taken on by the Thai company. |

Yeah I took it to mean that also. The actual potential of STFC as a club. Decent sized fanbase, alright sized stadium etc etc. Clearly we are miles away from doing anything with that potential, but it is there for sure. |

We deserve to be in League Two next season because we finished in the bottom 4 of League One this season. Is it an easier job to get Swindon promoted out of League Two than most of League Two clubs? I'd argue yes. That's what I base my "big club for League Two" statement on.

I fear that Stephen Robinson would be another manager who might be happy to play Taylor Curran. Wonder if he knows Power from his Luton days.

From Wiki - Robinson was appointed manager of Oldham Athletic in July 2016. He was replaced as manager by John Sheridan on 12 January 2017.
