Well that's a lump of my life I'm never getting back, interesting read but didn't learn a lot, odd that our 'acting CEO' seems to hold a completely different view from our revered Bossers.
Not apathy Ian, just common sense. I take it you'd love a sugar daddy to come in and tell us all that he 'LOVES' the club just as we do, in fact he always has, and he is going to fund us to the promised land? Or am I wrong about that?
I wouldn't want The Trust to lose control of the club Geoff but there comes a point where there needs to be some kind of 'outside' help for the football side of things to progress. Progression simply will not happen without an added expense that I believe The Trust, in it's current size, simply cannot fuel.
I am sorry Antony but there is a flaw in looking at City in isolation and saying that if we had won those three games we would have had 9 more points and made the play-offs. It ignores the fact that other clubs in the top ten positions could refer to a similar senario, which would mean that City would still not have made the play- offs. If Argyle had won just three of the games that they lost home they would not have been relegated.
All very good points. It wasnt that long ago that we were the same distance pointswise from the playoff places as we were the dreaded drop zone. We then had a few results go our way, and other teams dropped unlikely points, and it became apparent in early march that we had a decent shot at the top six, along with about six other teams! Then we threw away the Yeovil game, but just about managed to scrape past Swindon 1-0 in the fog, and the playoffs looked somewhat likely again! We ended up though where we deserved to be, based on the whole season. That squad would never have made a fist of the playoffs.
My point was though that that was all the difference between us and the play-offs. It only needed a couple of results here and there, and those results could have come in games that we really shouldn't have lost.
