Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Mid to late March is far too late to make such a big change. Roy coming out of his care home to mumble; sorry, inspire, a toothless Palace side, seems to be just as much of a gamble as leaving Viera in charge.

Re: Do you want Ince as our manager next season.

Roll on June when over-paid wasters like Liam Moore are off the books. There's a £1.5m annaul saving immediately.

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

Anyone know what the current club debt is now? Bearing in mind we no longer own the stadium, land around the stadium, or training ground.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Hull City (h)

A must win! Ince can't keep hiding being the same excuses. It's a tough job. It's a threadbare squad. But he got far more out of them early doors and needs to do so again, otherwise we're going down and can add another dismissal to his CV!

Re: Relegation

So you're both excited to play Accrington Stanley, Morecambe and Shrewsbury on a tuesday night? Don't care who we play. I watch for Reading, not the opposition. And it would make a change. Then pop down to Maidenhead and take in a few games, or over to Swindon and Oxford. Give it a few matches and ...

Re: Ince out!

paultheroyal If Ince goes, you will be getting Bowen and Hunt - happy with that? Take Mcdermott? That will be the options.


Would love McDermott back. He's exactly what we need to start a new project and rebuild the playing staff and bring on the kids.

Re: Relegation

9 point cushion - 6 points due to be applied today/tomorrow allegedly.

So it's a 3 point cushion, a weak arse team, a suspect keeper, and a tactical numpty manager, whom we're the only club who has tolerated his football for more than one full year.

Lump your money on us going down!

Re: Do you want Ince as our manager next season.

Ince has a tendency to do well for a while and then completely fall off the wagon. This year we've played 11 games, won two, against 20th and 22nd in the table. We've drawn two, against a team which sacked their manager and 19th. I can't imagine anything from Blackburn, Hull have won 4 in 2023, the...

Reports of Wigan not paying their staff today and administration is days away. Huddersfield are teetering on edge and administration is just days away. Whats the chances points deduction being delayed because at this rate (and thankfully) we could be staying up by default. Terrible news. https://i....

Re: Do you want Ince as our manager next season.

I'm split on this. On one hand I'm grateful he came in when he did and formed a fighting mentality to keep us up against the odds; but on the other hand he's tactically all over the place, and so are our performances.

The thai's couldn't afford to keep us going, they were desperate to find a buyer. He's paid for our training ground and invested heavily in playing staff (too much o...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

I didn't think Ian Wood-Smith had a role at the club any more? Samuelson's 'new' consortium had an offer declined pre Chinese offer being accepted. If that has now gone down the pan then he clearly isn't going away, and Nigel Howe who is everyone's buddy and cant be trusted for one minute, looks mor...

Re: Dominic Samuel

There was late interest, ironically, from Leeds. We seemed to have pissed them off somewhat by nabbing Grabban at the last minute. They thought they had that one nailed!

Re: Latest set of company accounts

I was saying only a few months ago the debts had increased. Then £15m received for REP paid off a creditor immediately, reducing the debt a pinch, and now of course the Chinese loan on top of £10.4m. Obviously with this transfer window everything is glossed over and the feel-good feeling is back, bu...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

You right the article off, yet our debt is higher now than before the Thai's took over. That in itself shouldn't shock anyone, we're one of many clubs who make an annual loss, but the debt is a substantial one, and we are yet to see what the club will still own after the Thai's have gone. Without do...
