The worst consequences of relegation will, of course, be the redundancies that will be required among the non-playing staff throughout the club. People who can ill afford to lose their jobs in comparison to the overpaid wasters we have who call themselves professional footballers. Add to that the loss of match day income for surrounding businesses which will inevitable come from the lower attendance levels. And to add to our financial woes the number of sponsors and amount they pay will fall substantially too.

Well I'm glad he's doing ok. Hopefully they will buy him and we get some much needed money and a big wage earner off our books. Unfortunately he just didn't work out at Leicester. There seems to be an arrogance and attitude about him which annoyed our fan base and it was better to get him out of the club. The fact that all the other defenders are utterly useless doesn't mean that he would have been any better for us. The evidence over a good period would suggest not.

Do we actually even totally own the stadium? Taken from another thread. Anyone know how much if anything we owe KP for the stadium? For those who want to know here is the relevant bit of note 8. Taken from the club's website and obviously not the most recent figures etc. The stadium is the subject of a hire purchase contract with K Power Holdings Company Limited, a related company. The repayment terms of the contract were contingent on the turnover associated with the League the Club plays in during the duration of the contract during the year and the payment profile of the contract has been calculated based on the league status of the Club at the year end. All amounts owing under this agreement are repayable on 30 June 2026. Amounts payable under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are set out in note 16.

Useless basically.

Reminds me a little bit of a poor version of Matt Heath.

Relegation looks quite probable after this disgraceful showing. If we go down we won't be coming back for many years in my opinion. Finances screwed, players useless no manager and still the same useless idiots running the club and recruiting players. Quite likely we could drop down another division too.

Another waste of space it seems. Not only should Rudkin go but so should Glover.

I'm afraid the players have largely brought any toxic atmosphere upon themselves. I've not watched as many games this season as usual but one thing has been apparent each time I have and that is a sheer lack of effort by a large percentage of the players. That has improved a bit in the last couple of matches but putting in 100% effort every minute of every game should be a given. But we've not seen that this season have we? I've been a supporter for many decades now and I don't think I've ever seen such a bunch of disinterested players pulling on our shirt. Back in the days when players got the bus to matches and were paid a pittance in comparison to what they receive today criticism was often held back by supporters. However, today the wages they receive are obscene, not their fault, and spectators have a need to vent their feelings I'm afraid and this season it is perfectly justified. If players are seen to be putting the effort in, even if they are not very good, fans will back them. Did you see the Norwich at home performance? The difference between the sheer effort of both sets of players was like night and day. 93rd minute three Norwich defenders bust a gut to track back and prevent a cross. Just compare that to our defending for their 2nd goal. Not a surprise really to hear boos when you see things like that.

That would at least make him run.

Shocking. This team will be relegated unless there is a miracle improvement. There's no spirit, no quality, nothing at all to feel positive about.

Utterly useless all over the pitch.

Our defence has been a bomb scare all match. If they had crossed the ball better we would probably be 2 down by now. Players just allowed to run with the ball with no challenges etc etc. Games like this result often in a 1-0 loss when a side that can't defend tries to for most of the match and offers nothing at all attack wise.

Seriously what is the point of Reid. Offers nothing in attack and nothing in defence. Too many players at a 4 or 5 out of 10 level. Fatawu needs to work harder. Skipp keeps giving the ball away. Our pace of play is slightly above glacial but not by much. Need a big improvement in the second half to get anything out of this match. Second best pretty much all over the pitch.

It isn't totally about money is it really? Currently our owners are completely incompetent in the running of the club resulting in a 6 point deduction for financial mismanagement. What we really need is an owner with the guts to sack incompetent people and to reconnect with the core supporters of the club and to at the very least employ people who are competent at their job or perhaps even employ them in the first place. Not having someone as both Chairman and acting CEO would be a start.

He's inexperienced, and right now out of his depth. He should walk and tip the club into the crisis it deserves.

Might work but these players look shot of confidence, belief and in most cases effort. Hard for anyone to turn this round. At least we're not yet cut off but hard to see us winning another game right now.

Disgraceful doesn't do the situation justice. There really needs to be some serious protests now. Each game non stop until things change. Rudkin must go asap and Top needs to sell to someone who cares or at least has some kind of business acumen. Just about everything about the club stinks right now. No way we avoid relegation unless we get in a manager to sort out the basics of the game.

Surely this is why you and everyone else should be angry about it.

I might have used a different word myself. Hope you enjoy it.

I think the Dean Smith appointment does need to be viewed in context. Very few games remaining and probably very few options willing to take the job for that length of time. And actually if Castagne had scored from three yards against Newcastle we might not be in the mess we are. Not saying Smith was a good appointment merely we probably had few options. otherwise agree completely.

Mowbray has done little of note at this level since around 2008 except be sacked from every job after that. He did ok for a season at Sunderland but was sacked the following one, failed at Celtic, was atrocious last time at West Brom and not much better at Birmingham though he was ill then to be fair to him. He might be ok but I'm not that convinced.

We're just not very good.

The crowd could accept losing poor goals if there was a response on the pitch and some real effort shown by the players and the manager, But we have the opposite. Little effort really on the pitch and a manager incapable of coaching event the basics of a solid team, ie defence and some idea how to attack the opposition. At Wrexham it was the weather, now its the fans next match maybe it will the wrong type of tea in the dressing room or something as ridiculous.

The tweet reads to me like the waiter is doing the interview not Aiyawatt.

Needs resting for a few games.
