Time to lower our expectations?

Think this applies to me. If we can't or won't compete with Reading for Bridge, and I'm not disagreeing with the decision, then cant see us doing much decent business and we might have to go with what we will have left after the cull if it happens.

Why would not signing Wayne Bridge mean we won't do decent business? There are and will be better players than him available before the season starts.

All the kids hoping for a return to the prem as Champions next season might be a tad dissapointed though :-)

I've already lowered mine mate. I don't think we will mount any sort of title challange this season or next season. I expect we will be in the championship a very long time.

Anything less than making Champions League football and I'll be right pi$$ed off.

Maybe you need a neck brace!

TF had this as an option; if a few seasons in this divisions means we can come as a better organised team and club, then why not.
Personally, I fear for the risk of getting relegated again next season. No-one can walk this league or even plan for a midtable-position. That´s the problem.
But what really baffles me is the fact that it seems like HR and board hasn´t really discussed which option to go for. I though they had a constructive meeting a few weeks back where details like this very thoroughly discussed.

I'm not sure you can say we will drop a division again until you see what squad / team we assemble and how we start off the season. Personally I think we will be able to more than hold our own in the Championship.

even with the squad as it currently stands?

[acricketer]

I'll be happy if we win 5 next season. Progress.

It´s a thin line between failure and success in the CC. If we want to acheive sucess we have to have togetherness in the team. The latter is my main concern.

PS. Bosingwa and the likes are not yet sold.

You lot will eat your words, we will get promoted next season

I find it ridiculous that anyone was thinking we'd come back up at the first time anyway to be honest. Partly the reason i got fed up with this place was everyone saying ''i'm looking forward to the championship'' and ''at least we can have a proper parade when we win it this time'', yeah, because we're just like the 1970's Brazil and the league is full of part timers?? Mental

We won't go up this season, Redknapp might make the first game but i'm 99% sure he won't be around for whoever we play on Boxing day, that's becoming more apparent each week. We have 2 people in charge of the club that if their football knowledge matched their business skill and enthusiasm, we would win the champs league. Sadly however, their football knowledge is 0.

Imagine if the 28th biggest company on the FTSE 100 got a new Chief Exec that had no knowledge of their business or industry whatsoever for example, everyone would think they were crazy and they'd be screwed... But it would never happen. Unfortunate thing is, it has happened to us.
