Just because both Hill and Cox struggled at the club with the current owner, doesn’t mean Cox wasn’t doing a bad job. One may also speculate how bad things were before Hill came in after Cox in charge for a considerable length of time, perhaps leaving Hill with an impossible task under pressing circumstances. That’s not to say Hill isn’t doing a bad job either.

Odds of 11/5 and 10/5 are hardly tempting. The Nap of the dayster clearly hasn’t seen any of our matches this season. Unless they’ve got some inside knowledge?

Or he’s just not very good at running a football club?

I doubt most posters on here give a toss if it was a ruse or not. We’ve had number Cods on here for quite a while in the past and it’s always interesting to hear your views.

If I was a lifelong Toon fan I couldn’t continue supporting the club under that regime. Would you awaywego?

I think most posters on here are aware that we’re probably going to struggle in the NL on a budget based on approx 2,000 average Olly. The future is anything but bright and there are concerns we might drop another division next season.

[Deereyme66]

Broken promises? Just a wild guess!

[Deereyme66]

Semantics. Personally, if I raised my voice and got angry with a staff member, I wouldn’t quibble with someone saying I was giving them a mouthful. Still, bigger things to worry about isn’t there.

[Deereyme66]

‘raising ones voice to ask for service is not giving someone a mouthful imo’

Pretty sure you didn’t say ‘raising one’s voice’. It was a harsher than that, unless you can find the original post and prove me wrong? Maybe not giving someone a mouthful but words to that effect.

[Deereyme66]

Not my view about the Iron Bar, I rarely frequent it, one of awaywego’s older comments and if memory serves it was more down to one staff member chatting too much instead of serving.

Er, so when staff at the Iron Bar are not serving fast enough, your response would be to give them a mouthful awaywego. But when the club staff have a bad track record of getting shirts stocked in time it’s all down to the manufacturers? I think,along with Bucks, you’re on a wind up too. What would I do? I’d be emailing and phoning the manufacturers every day pestering them to ensure they weren’t late and I’d have got assurances from the new manufacturer that they were going to deliver on time, unlike the last lot, and if they delivered late, they’d be in breach of contract.

‘ better at spreading rather than removal…’

Way too much information, and a deeply unpleasant reminder 🤣. Add to the mix, primary school kids who still had a lot to learn about toilet habits and you’ve got many a minging classroom!

‘Can anyone name a better Manager that we could have got at the time of Hill’s appointment?’

John Sheridan?

It’s nor irrelevant or a red herrjng, quite frankly, it’s intrinsically bound up with the current situation. Fairly criticising the club over those issues you think are irrelevant and repeating them when nothing seems to be done to rectify (or in many cases, got worse) is totally legitimate and justified. Yes, the recruitment over the last few years has been appalling and it’s a major factor but not the only one. This is not a single issue. You sound like someone quite once removed from the reality, to be frank.

I’m surprised you can’t see how these things contribute to reduced gates and income > Owner reduces player budget > gates reduce further > owner reduces budget again, ad infinitum.

There’s a lot of crap to clean up where SUFC is concerned.

Lol, don’t give awaywego an excuse for complaining other posters are talking about toilet paper now! 😅

Speaking to an Oldham fan at the weekend. They still have an embargo and only signed 2-3 players plus Sheridan. Our embargo is often cited as a big reason the Jan window appears to have failed. How come Oldham have managed okay with it?

Yes NI, and why those things he and you mention are very important is, due to all those issues, falling gates, decreased revenue, slashed squad budget resulting in poor squad. So those things combined are intrinsic to the problem, the vicious circle.

Do you have evidence to back up the claim Heath? Cliff Richard is claiming otherwise.

How many teams are relegated every season from the National League?

[Deereyme66]

I was saying fans shouldn’t run on the pitch the other day but I did just that in the late 70s, maybe 76/77? Jumped the wall behind the DRE goal at full time to pat Graeme Crawford on the back before he trundled off. He’d had a good game and I think we won 1-0 or 2-0. Only 10 or 11 years old. Excitement got the better of me. Hadn’t realised how tall he was though and it was a bit of a stretch. Plus I probably gave him a shock running up behind like that! He seemed appreciative though and it made my day.

All a bit hypothetical if he’s still around isn’t it. Just can’t see anything to be optimistic about. When has he ever demonstrated he’s prepared to listen to anyone?

Can still feel the excitement of cutting through back streets and car park from Oswald Road and seeing the lit floodlights as we came out on to Donny Rd.
