  1. No this season counted perfectly fine, we came close and missed out. So did you actually expect to get promoted after that start we had? With all the deadwood in that team? It was far to unrealistic in my opinion.
  2. You would like to think so because I 40 million pound fine for qpr will cripple them and it'll only lead to docking points, the system seems set up to protect the elite clubs.
  3. His first season doesn't count because when he took over we was in the relegation zone, we was a complete mess and he turned that around. Those who expected promotion in the first season especially after that start show the kind of unrealistic expectation a lot of our fans hold.
  4. Its Made the game worse because now the big clubs can pay over 100 million for a player no problem but smaller clubs wanting to make a go of it get punished. They say its there to protect clubs from going into administration and getting ruined but at the same time they are trying to fine qpr 40 million, just doesn't make sense.
  5. Exactly, we could do with a manager who has great connections with the premier league clubs to get us some decent loan deals.
  6. Phil Jones was a stand out defender for Blackburn and went for 15 million luke Shaw was doing it at Southampton in the premeir league and looked really special. Grealish has half a season here in the Championship where he's been alright plus a couple of special moments. Theres no way utd spend 30 million on that especially with a contract up in 2 years the deal would make no sense.
  7. There's no way mourinho will be interested in signing grealish, he has much better available to him currently and there is much better available in the market.
  8. Letting hutton gabby and Terry go will save us around 7 million In wages, if we could some how move mcormack and Richards on that would bring us to 10 million mark. I think ffp sounds worse than it actually is, there's no way Xia and Co haven't got a plan lined up to pass if we never got promoted.
  9. Yes, dropping to league 1 now that's a proper disaster, I'd say Xia has only made 1 error and that was getting in Di Matteo from the start and letting him loose with all that money. I'd have also preferred him not to be telling the world we would be competing with Barcelona after 5 years either, it's year 3 and we are still playing the likes Bolton, Rotherham and Birmingham!
  10. Disaster? Think you might be over reacting a bit there!
  11. On a whole I don't think it was a bad season, yes we failed to get promoted but we gave it a really good shot. I'd still be willing to give Bruce another chance again however I would be open to a change providing it was a completely different style of manager. I think Bruce will resign anyway its been a tough year for him and he may just be thinking about retiring or at least taking some time out the game.
  12. For some reason they all think the doc is skint and we are going to fall through the leagues due to ffp whilst they are on the up. Truth is they have no money because Harry spent it all on player wages, they have one player worth over a few million in jota and have just had their 3rd last day survival in 4 years. How they cannot see they are in the sh*t massively ill never know.
  13. Harsh to blame just Bruce for that loss, could quite easily say grealish who missed a great chance and didn't even hit the target off snoddys free kick cost us. The whole team needs to take the blame for that result.
  14. I agree a lot of our fans over rate him massively, he's decent and has good potential, he's nowhere near top quality yet nor is he worth the 30 plus million people seem to think we could get for him but to say he is part of the problem is completely false, we could easily build a team over the next few years with him as the centre piece providing he keeps up with the improvements he's been showing. For what it's worth I think we'd be looking at around 15-20 million for him with add ons if we are lucky, his contract is up in just under 2 years so we would have to be careful of any bids we also reject.
  15. I think this thread is proving to people that there's not much better than Bruce available currently.
  16. Its easy to say promote a youngens and rely on them but I don't think they are anywhere near ready. Rhm came on against Bolton and looked as though he's never played before, Davis goalscoring record will not help us next season, ohare doesn't look ready just yet either. Sulliman failed in his loan because he is not there physically yet so he'd have no chance in this division. We have some great young talent there's no denying that but throw them all in to early and there careers will be over before they've even started.
  17. Tottaly agree, this is now our 3rd season in the championship which comes after 5 years straight of scrapping relegation. We have a good history but I lt doesn't give us any right to be walking the championship like a lot of our fans expect.
  18. Finished 7th in 2001 mate but since then 10th with Bruce is their highest, they usually around the 16th 17th place finish.
  19. Finished lol Absolutely clueless. Majority of "fans" on here don't seem to have a clue what they are on about, so fickle. Embarrassing.
  20. Been great all year however Chester has been a lot better, can't justify these sort of wages though now.
  21. Not necessarily, a lot of goals are scored from good play, our two centre backs were in terrible positions and hutton wasn't on his man. That is poor defending and shouldn't happen at this level, basic stuff.
  22. Why wouldn't you set up to contain Fulham? A defensive error cost us, we had plenty of chances. The blame isn't with Bruce as far as I'm concerned. Each to their own though.
  23. I don't see what Bruce did wrong, we set up to contain, a definsive error cost us, he changed it at half time we came out flying. Players missed chances so he has to gamble as the game gets later.
  24. Swansea are awful, gonna lose a lot of players, I wouldn't worry about them tbf.
