All of this talk about the league being ''a tight one again this season'' is pure conjecture - it could equally see 8 teams pull away from the rest pretty quickly - such is the nature of the beast. Hence, to not get the players, whom you know you are going to have to get as their predecessor is retiring, seems rather poor management. Hence, do I blame Roeder? No, I blame the penny pinchers who have given him an obviously woeful budget from which to produce a silk purse. 

IIRC Mike Walkers last game in charge was a 5-0 thumping of Swindon. Fenn played a blinder that day - but I don''t think his football career ever took off - shame.

God how I wish Mello was a 6'' 6" centre forward - he''d waste defences for fun... ''Weevil spunky'' - very funny [:D][:D] 

When you''re dead - bit of a waste as a coffin lining methinks...[:)]

So BBB, are you saying that up until last season, our board were dealing with a wage bill that was significantly lower than other teams?

Did you really expect anything else?

Forgive me for butting in, but there is some guarenteed return BBB - the return is continued free publicity. 

Ex-greenoschin My definition of spin is to string out a weak solution to make it appear like a strong solution. This board have never provided a strong solution - hence it IMHO is spin.

So Bunny, can you put any proof towards it NOT being spin then? (Should I put some kind of insult in here?ummm)

I mean, its not like its the boards job to provide funding for players is it? DOH!! To those who can''t see the spin in this, try phoning your boss and tell him everytime you have completeted one of your days'' tasks  - ''Oh hi boss, I finished cleaning the bogs on floor z - just thought you would want to know that''.......

In answer to Cam''s question, I personally think that team would be good enough for a mid-table finish, its certainly as good as last seasons Blackburn or Bolton.

Yep - we had a £6m bid in on a striker, but at the last minute just as he reached for the pen, the Cullum story broke and the price was suddenly upped to £10m zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

Zombies? How about Dracula, we do look a bit deathly....

Hmmm...takes football AND jumper leaving only 3 goal posts should another ball be sourced! A feminine strop I would dare to suggest?

Yep Polar - Harry Rednap - must be as happy as a pig in it.

I''m sure Roeder knows this, and he''s praying to the heavens that we don''t get a bad run of injuries or get off to a bad start. I don''t think that some people realise just how far we have fallen - and just how far further we can fall.

Ner ner ner ner ner ner......etc...[au]

My my Monkey - you really are the intellectual snob aren''t you! 

The guy out of ''Riverdance''?

Lol.....wiz, you certainly know how to wind em up old boy - keep it up, its very enjoyable!!

Yes there was a gulf in class - and that is what people are moaning about! That is were we used to be - that is were we want to be - after 14 years of this current administration we are no closer to being there! THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING!!!!!

Lol Ricky, tit or a guinea pig?hmmm Early days I know, but we seemed seriously devoid of ideas - lets hope for a moral boosting win in the next one, 

I see TO7 is still trying to prove he has links to the club[:(]

Hark the sound of splitting hairs..... What about the norfolk show ''new investment'' then T?

5, 469 - I thought I''d try and liven the game up a bit.....zzzzzzzz
