They are in the equivalent of men's League 2 (Div 4 in old money), so 3 promotions to the WSL. |

I think most managers would be out if their depth here, such is the continual mess created by the board/owners with their terrible decision making |

Not sure why anyone would bother with a season ticket after this season. Whole thing is too uncertain. May as well just pick the few Saturday 3pms to go to and fcuk the rest off |

Yes you are correct that Austin was a terrible pro.
However, Warburton's signings of Hendrick, Sanderson and Gray was also a disaster which nearly got us relegated. Those 3 were awful players and completely unsettled the squad (as evidenced by the terrible losing run we went on immediately after we signed them). Warburton is definitely NOT the answer, just like Nourry is not the answer.
I think L1 under MC may be the answer. |

If the owners genuinely want to spend (waste?) a load more money trying to make us competitive at a Championship and above level, the best thing that can happen now is relegation to League 1 so the financial shackles are released completely and they can spend as much as they like building a squad.
If they have no intention of chucking even more money at it then relegation could be disastrous.
The former (relegation and free of financial shackles) could be a good thing, but that's only if they get it right (and, remember, they've got nothing right in 10+ years). In.the current circumstances, given the financial situation now with all the money wasted on the Summer signings, I think this could be the most favourable all round scenario.
The latter (relegation, with no intention of spending any more money) could see us sink even lower.
Either way, in the circumstances I think relegation in the next couple of years is perhaps inevitable. [Post edited 10 Nov 4:55]

I certainly wouldn't be sacking MC. He's on a new long term contract and would be expensive to sack. IMO he stays, no matter what. He can then try to get us promoted back to the Champ next season (unless he resigns in the meantime when he realises he's not going to get sacked no matter what happens). Sacking MC will achieve absolutely nothing - it'll just cost lots of £££ and make us less well equipped to go for promotion to the Champ next season.
I would, however, be firing Nourry, Belk and Hoos this evening [Post edited 9 Nov 17:12]

The thing is, what do we do now? There is no way this squad is escaping relegation. I'm at a loss. Whatever we do, it will be too little too late. There is no way back this season. The damage has been done. |

I'd say so. Can't really blame him I guess (although he shouldn't really have signed a new contract if he wasn't happy with what was happening at the club with signings etc) |

Well, this has been just as bad as Tuesday night. Leeds playing a training game, thankfully. This squad is as poor as the relegation squad of 2000/01, and it's going to suffer the same fate. Can't see a way back. Offloading all the new signings in Jan and replacing them all will come too late |

Can't agree with that. They are sh1te too. Not one player signed this Summer appears to be anywhere even near good enough to play at this level [Post edited 9 Nov 16:36]

I think the fact is that, despite not being great themselves, Begovic, Dykes, Armstrong, Willock and Hayden were still all streets ahead of the players we have replaced them with. This team is awful, and is still likely to be awful when some of the injured return. Without 5 or 6 new players of good, proven Championship standard, I just can't see how we're avoiding the drop this season. It's beyond woeful [Post edited 9 Nov 16:21]

Yep, remember that too.
I also said a few weeks back that Madsen hides. I watched him for about 30 minutes in one game a month or so ago and he literally just constantly 'hid' behind oppo players to avoid being in a position in which someone could pass the ball to him. It's absolutely shocking, and I'm glad you picked up on it on Tuesday.
Not sure how we now go about sorting this mess out. For me, MC stays. I think MC can resolve it eventually with a bit of time and some players suited to this league (so basically need the injured to return and then the Jan window to come around so we can loan out some of these misfits and get some others in).
Nourry and Belk should already be gone. Appoint a DOF with demonstrable football experience and (at the very least) a reasonable track record, and let them set about trying to resolve this mess Nourry and Belk (and the owners, by way of their appointing Nourry and Belk) have got us into.

I play golf with a couple of lads who worked for Tony Bloom for many years as a part of his data driven analysis to aid his betting syndicate (and subsequently his football club). They've both retired now, but they go to watch Brighton regularly as guests of Tony. It's really interesting listening to them about how it all worked.
Not sure how we've managed to completely fcuk it up (as always). Either the raw data we've been given is shyte or the analysts who have interpreted the raw data are shyte (or, more likely, both are shyte!!). What a sorry mess (again). [Post edited 7 Nov 12:52]

I have to say, it was obvious as far back as the Cambridge cup game that Celar was an awful player who.would never be good enough. Had higher hopes for some of the others though.
Not sure where we go from here if we have indeed put all these lads on long, expensive contracts (as has been rumoured) |

Agreed. Absolutely spot on. Him and Celar must be the biggest waste of money this club has ever encountered (and that's saying something given what we've wasted on others over the years) |

Definitely an improved performance today. Actually looked interested for the first time this season and put himself about a bit. Amazing what a bit of effort can do for someone. Hope he now continues on an upward trajectory (I have my doubts, but desperately hope he can prove us all wrong) |
