Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 19, 2008 So what''s the big plan then for Roeder, he''s got 3 years to get us promoted they say, i just don''t know how. We''re out of promotion contention near enough this year, and will probably only survive because there''s 3 worse teams than us in the league. So what about next year, when another 15 players have to be replaced and go back to their parent clubs/ retire/ get found out at this level and sold to the lower leagues. Who are we left with for next year?Probably: Marshall, Drury, Russell, Croft, Clingan, SemmiMaybe: Hoolahan, Stefanovic (getting old), Doherty, Fozzy, Patty, BellAs for the rest, they''ll be gone. Also given we have no money, so how are we gonna buy all the quality we need. I think we have 6 players suited to this level and another 6 i''m not sure about. Where''s the inspiration? Is martin gonna come back and bang the goals in? Spillane to pull the strings in the middle, or shore up the back 4, is Eagle gonna tear up the wing? is Cullum gonna be reluctantly accepted on board so we can buy our way out of this mess? Are the (Maybe) players all gonna come good? Sadly i don''t think so. Also, given strikers cost a lot of money for good ones, at least £1m and we need 4 really when this lot go back, where is £4m gonna come from to actually get some decent one''s properly.Anyone have any answers, or is there too much water already breaching the deck to save our sinking ship?

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 6, 2013 I reckon the board read my post and that was the start of something special! (well either mine or that Liverpool fans ''i remember'' one) I''ll now wait for my thank you cards to arrive in the post.Amazing to see how much of a mess our club was in and reading back, I actually blame Glenn Roeder for our relegation to league 1. How were we ever not going to get relegated that season looking at those players mentioned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 6, 2013 To be fair, I wasn''t far off, Hoolahan was only in the maybes because he was new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted August 6, 2013 1000 Year Plan sounds vaguely Hitler-ian, and his plan didn''t last that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
