I'm starting to think there is no solution. This is our ceiling at the momentAre you suggesting the solution to all this is to bring yet another new manager?

Just keep throwing stones at it!I'm starting to think there is no solution. This is our ceiling at the moment
Sacking the manager and wasting millions in the process (as well as appointing a new one) would achieve very little, imv. Rather spend that money on proper transfers this summer and back him up properlyI'm starting to think there is no solution. This is our ceiling at the moment
We have won 17 games in the league(+ lots of cup games), that's pretty high standards you have if only 4 of those were good?
THATS EXACTLY IT THOUGHI'm starting to think there is no solution. This is our ceiling at the moment
yeah and i don't even reckon poch will make it to the new stadiumAt least they have a manager who has coached for more than 10 years before he took over Woolwich.
We're miles behind where they were at the same point along the stadium timeline.THATS EXACTLY IT THOUGH
It is our ceiling! And it will take about 100million+ a season for several years to break through! Or for the collapse of several teams above us. We might get to a point in a few years where we can chuck 40 mill around every now and then, build up a massive and talented squad. But look at Woolwich. They're essentially a blue print of how the next few years are going to go for us, with the stadium and all... and they've done fuck all. The last few years they've hardly even looked like getting fourth until right at the end.
I don't like saying it aloud but I'm not massively confident. Personally id rather stick with MP through thick and thin for the next few years because I've accepted we're gonna have bad seasons. But i think i may be in the minority on that one.We're miles behind where they were at the same point along the stadium timeline.
In fact, it's quite worrying when you think of them falling back like they did and where it could leave us if we do the same.
I agree that we have had to work hard for many of our points, but which team has'nt had to grind out results? Chelsea has mostly won by 1 goal or drawn after new year. I have the impression that Woolwich also have done the same, though I have not seen much of their games. When ManCity win they usually win by a few goals, but they have lost and drawn a lot of games they should have won. Man Utd have been grinding out points all season. I'm not proud of our defending, but we usually score more then we concede. I gladly take a 4-3 or 3-2 victory over a boring 1-0If you are honest with yourself, you will admut we have taken more points when we´ve played poorly but showed enough grit to see it out, than we have playing well and wrapping up a game comfortably.
If 6th is shit, then I agreeLife is so much easier if you just accept we are shit.
Then when we actually win by more than 1 goal it is glorious.
Yeah but some threads on here have been going years and years. Theres nothing impressive about this one lasting another 11 months.I wonder how long this thread is going to last, I can see it running right up until we get relegated...

We were accidentally actually really good. We were outside chancers for winning the league at one point before "that" capitulation.I mean look what it took, Ledley and Woodgate both actually able to play and being formidable, Bale growing, Van Der Vaart, Good Ade, good Lennon, Luca Modric for goodness sake, thats what it would take to get in top 4 again, 6 world class players like that, 5 who have started for madrid, we have a couple now maybe
Plus the fact Man City still had Wayne Bridge and Shaun Wright Phillips starting and Chelsea were playing manager merry go round
We didnt realise we had depth in the youth and just bought too many in the 10-20mil range, just like Liverpool did, fucked it all up, we dont have any class players like Ledley who under 6 managers, performed exactly the same, we have no mental winners
Just mental whiners...we dont have any class players like Ledley who under 6 managers, performed exactly the same, we have no mental winners
Everton wants a lot of money for him. But i rate him very high :townhmm:Just keep throwing stones at it!
Ive just realised Soldado and Dembele are the spursiest players ever. Both look like they can be amazing yet ultimately do fuck all.
