Been saying that myself for a few weeks now.
I was there last night and walked out as the 2nd goal went in. So uninspired to watch. That's 4 home defeats on the spin this season. I go in the hope of something happening but with the expectation that nothing will.
Well no more until CH has gone. I'm not driving 75 miles round trip to watch that dross anymore. Seriously came close to shredding my season cards last night but didn't in the hope that whoever does come in next, at least has us looking like we might actually do something in a game.
At 1-0 down, we were passing the ball along the back 4 and back to the keeper for about 20 consecutive passes. No forward passes over the halfway line during that period. We were ole-ing ironically but it didn't get the message through.
The whole club is a mess and something is afoot behind the scenes I reckon.
I'll still support them as they're my team. But from afar for now.
In other news, Derby are close to agreeing their 9pts deduction by all accounts. How does that work then that they get to agree their own penalty as opposed to every other club who have just been told what their punishment is? What makes DCFC so special?
I did wonder about the ole-ing
from memory I'm sure it ended by you winning a free kick just outside their box, though? (Yes, I did watch the whole game on the red button
)
It sounds like you might not be able to sack him because it'll cost £2m and that's simply not possible without putting yourself in FFP trouble. Not a good situation to be in at all. If you lose to Huddersfield at the weekend you equal your worst ever start to a season. Coincidentally, it was Huddersfield you took a point off during the 1913-14 season when you set that record!
Re our penalty, who knows, probably just the usual legal wrangling based on precedent and proportion. I doubt we could even come close to overturning 3-6 points, let alone 9 so it hardly seems worth even bothering to battle it down from 12, but I guess it would be negligent to not do everything possible in mitigation.
I will continue to cling to the glimmer of hope that the embargo will be lifted in time for January, Bielik makes a glorious return and Rooney can bring in some hotshot loans from the Manchester United u23s, or something like that. Certainly I remain pro-Rooney and even
when if we get relegated I will be keen for him to keep the reins for next season.
EDIT - my #ITK theory was busted while I was typing it!
