danceoftheshamen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I just want this Bolton game to come. Biggest game for years. As it is Wolves cant mathematically cant catch us. Blackburn would have to get 7 or 9 points to catch us, and still have to go to Stamford Bridge. So a draw against Bolton and Villa can officially claim safety in my opinion. Not so sure about "officially claiming" as we could still be caught by Bolton, Wigan & QPR but we could definately breath a little easier as it would make it very tough for Blackburn & Bolton then. I make it if we draw with Bolton: Blackburn would need 7 points from 3 Bolton would need 7 from 4 QPR would have to beat Stoke & get a point at either Chelsea or Man City Wigan would be 3 behind So for me we really need to beat Bolton & then i would relax AFTER LOSING 2-0 TONIGHT AGAINST MAN CITY WOLVES ARE OFFICIALLY RELEGATED!!

troon_villan Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Troon Villain. Why not elaborate rather then laugh. Or are you one of the forum members peeing your pants every night that the club is going down. If the Bolton game is a draw, that will be 6 point gap to them with 3 to play. Wolves cant catch us and Blackburn are way behind. I think he's laughing at the fact that you stated that something was official and your opinion in the same sentence. Correct, no offence intended btw, it just made me chuckle! Oh, and it's villan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Blamange No ? The word blancmange derives from Old French blanc mangier. The name "whitedish" is a modern term used by some historians, though the name historically was either a direct translation from or a calque of the Old French term. Many different local or regional terms were used for the dish in the Middle Ages: English: blancmanger, blankmanger, blank maunger, blomanger, blamang Catalan: 'am (medieval), menjar blanc Portuguese: manjar branco Italian: bianco mangiare Spanish: manjar blanco Dutch/Flemish: blanc mengier German: blamensir Latin: albus cibus, esus albus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Anyway, if we are going to discuss some yucky, pasty coloured jelly we should do it in "The Alex McLeish Thread" or we'll risk going off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2012 if we can't get 4 points from bolton at home, and the baggies and norwich away. then we should give up. seriously, just pack it in. close VP, go home and think no more about it.

LondonLax Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 West Brom and Norwich have nothing to play for anymore, Spurs are losing left right and centre, we are at home to Bolton. We will probably get another 5 points this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdubber Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 WBA will be playing for the bragging rights, as would we if things were the other way around. Still do not disagree with the 5 points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Radio WM said this morning that relegation has cost Wolves tens of millions. How much further could we cut wages if we end up in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezzRexx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Radio WM said this morning that relegation has cost Wolves tens of millions. How much further could we cut wages if we end up in the same boat. A hell of a lot more. Plus many staff and other such expenses would probably need to be cut. Sadly, I think the player wage bill will be still require further cost cutting even if we manage to stay in the Prem, as I imagine that the finance department were probably forecasting and advising as if we were to finish the season in the top-half of the table...

Surely to God Randy has more ambition that that? Please stop this sort of talk. It makes far too much sense and gives me a rationale for appointing the current man in charge. There seems to be nobody beter at taking clubs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Isn't it about £1m a place in the PL Standings ? So lets say optimistically we finish 16th, thats a like for like decline on income vs last year of approx £8m which is almost 10% of turnover Thats a massive hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think its something like £800,000 per place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So -£5.6m vs. 2010/2011. Wow, this McLeish appointment really is paying for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 say £7m off prize money & he's wiped say 6000 off the gate receipts so another £3.5m so in season 1 he's cost us at least £10.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If it's around the 800k mark for each place, starting from the bottom, Villa will get £4.8m if they manage to stay in 16th place. Reduce it by 800k each place they drop. No doubts this money will be transfer money, as it usually is, so McLeish is cutting his own throat again and has no excuses for the lack of money he'll get in the summer if he hasn't been sacked for doing a shocking job.

CI Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Factor on top the wasted money on Zog / Hutton / Jenas and arguably Given (should have just kept Friedl) and he's cost us about £30m inside 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Plus the compensation we paid Blues as well. Good thing Lerner and Faulkner have cost-cutting as a primary KPI. And someone said we wouldn't we have paid Everton £7m for Moyes. Money well saved if you ask me. Really fearing the drop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
