What a heinous bunch Cooper signed. Coupled with 3 years for Vesty (not Cooper's fault!) it stuffed us for years

Don't tell L1, they'll work themselves into a frenzy (Not all of you before you moan, just *them*)

What narks me is the idea that they think we'd be dumb enough not to notice. Like someone as thick as Top and/or one of his stooges thinking "they're so dumb"... You can tell a wrong 'un a mile off

Tin foil hat alert: I am *certain* the club have planted/paid posters on here in the past to influence discussions. I called one of them out on it a while back; they disappeared soon afterwards. The most egregious example that caught my attention was someone with a "Frank Sidebottom" avatar - can't recall the name. While I'd never go anywhere near Facebook, I wouldn't put it past them. (And I'm not talking about 'Babylon' either lol. He does it for the love of Jon) Edited to say that I guess someone close enough to the club could concoct a fake identity and take this on themselves. The effect is the same: trying to divide and conquer!

Fair do's, succinct and 100 % correct. I'll stand down with a mild apology for picking an argument ;-) (I too think Rowett probably has what it takes to strangle survival. I have no idea if that will actually be good for *our* club)

Your second paragraph is so true

Oof! How bad are things at the minute? How do you rate our leadership, and the general direction of the club? Just interested, cos you seem to try to minimise issues in every post

Bleak, but at the risk of sounding like an oldie moaning about modern music... True

The one thing I wouldn't really care about with regards to ST is what league we're in. *Loads* of great away days. Far more bothered by our lack of direction, near-nonexistent atmosphere and the 'companionship' of KPFC happy clappers. If you doubt this, how much more fun was our L1 season under Nige than anything served up since we won the PL*? Genuinely! [*European nights under Shakey notwithstanding]

Charitably, earlier you were predicting a £20M loss. Now you seem on board with a £70M+ loss, on the hope (and not knowledge) that it is compliant. What would "bad" look like to you?

Imagine the points deduction. It'll be epic! I take no pleasure in this. We're utterly snookered after years and years of hopeless mismanagement. No matter what KPFC or the la-la-la ostriches think, there is no easy way back

Says who?

Said genuinely, be careful what you wish for!

You are so selective haha. I admire your optimism but it's utterly blind - has been for ages

Maybe, but don't minimise our situation. We're in a worse state than anyone, and worse than most others *combined*

Not having this, you're muscling in on my prediction. Pita you are, and not the nice Greek sort (Hope we're both wrong, I think. But if it means we're rid of KP?)

Wild! Not sure if joking Dec 2026, nice Christmas present

Thread title is surely an oxymoron?

We'd better be or we could be flirting with L2 next year! Fleetwood away ole ole

In my dreams, Nige heads the consortium to finally buy us out of KP misery

"Let's give the fans a free coconut, that'll stop 'em complaining"

If true, f**k me

We are going to need a spell in L1 to sort ourselves out aren't we. Cold turkey

All true, but we don't have Nige to drive this. We are run by fools

And they are back in the PL. We'll be lucky to avoid L1. They had some valuable players. We have???
