The next 6?

Post by marko69 » Tue Oct 25, 2016 11:48 am

Let's see how diverse the opto/pessi divide is.......,

I'll go first;

Rotherham (h), win. 3pts
Sheff W (a), loss
Forest (h), win 3pts
QPR (h), draw 1pt
Bristol City (a), loss
Cardiff (h). Draw 1pt

8pts from 18pts.

Mid to lower table form.

I don't think it will happen like that, we should beat Rotherham, but we said that last season and got beat at their pad, and a new manager in Kenny Jacket, ?????

Rotherham (H) Draw 1pt
Sheff Wed (A) Loss
Forest (H) Draw 1pt
QPR (H) Loss
Bristol City (A) Loss
Cardiff (H) Loss

so 2pts from 18pts that's relegation fodder

Sheff W (a), loss 0pts
Forest (h), draw 1pt

5 points from 18 = not very good

No wins, no draws, no points. But, not to worry, it'll help us on our way to League 1, where we'll have loads of time to regroup and come back stronger! :wink:

Rotherham United HOME 3 points

Sheffield Wednesday AWAY 0 points

Nottingham Forest HOME 3 points

Queens Park Rangers HOME 1 point

Bristol City AWAY 0 points

Cardiff City HOME 1 point

Pity is, all of those games are potentially winnable, but the manager will see to it that we play at a disadvantage each and every time. Seriously, even for voting in favor of a win over Rotherham first up, it would be small surprise to see the Yorkshire team take something away when they visit. Team often struggles with opposition in the relegation zone, regardless of venue.

All four home games should be winable but as we all know this is highly unlikely to happen. In reality I can't see more than seven points which would be relegation form and should see the end of Mick McCarthy's tenure at Portman Road. I have very mixed feelings as to whether or not this would be good for us, If I could choose I'd prefer a change of owner before a change of manager as Marcus Evans clearly has no ambition for this club and appears to use it as nothing more than a hobby and a tax fiddle.

Absolutely Marco, I have it straight from the horses mouth, Banker Jags win 3-0, and also Hartley should stick to Fly Fishing or making Jams ?????

Absolutely spot on Charners, a change of ownership is what's wanted, the managerial position can be sorted out later if results don't improve

Interesting when new owners come in, they often replace the current manager. Wolves are a case in point - and that went ever so well!

So far as ME is concerned, love or loathe him, and question his motives and commitment etc, fact is that he's currently the only show in Town. Frustrating though that is, without his annual £8M or so, and in the absence of potential investors beating ME's door down, we appear stuck with him for he immediate future - keeping us alive as a Club, but with clear signs of decline setting in.

Don't claim to understand the tax write-off situation; but would guess that ME's original motivation for acquiring the club was more to do with the status - and vast income! - it brought him as a potential PL owner - moving in those exalted circles, and reaping the positive business rewards. Sadly, as we know, just didn't happen - poor decisions, poor appointments, naive in all matters football, and now trying to balance out all those early mistakes and poor use of money.

The truth of it is not one of us understands the Tax write off situation despite a fair few making out they do, Rossi has a very good contact in this area and I am hoping to glean some knowledge of the situation and possible loopholes when next we talk.

If he'd said "straight from the donkeys mouth", maybe would've chanced a fiver on it.

Holy shoot, Ash......., I take it back. The horses mouth was almost correct. That is an excellent away win for the Jags tonight. And it heaps the pressure on Hartley....., which isn't so bad. Irritating wee bstd!
