I can't see there being large queues of teams after singing any of them....last time they managed to recoup some money as they had saleable assets like Pope, McNeil, Cornet and Collins, this time ermmmmm I don't know cos I don't know alot of their players now cos they have changed from last season squad.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I look at how Arsenal put them to the sword and think how massive the gap is between the mega clubs and the also rans. It’s getting noticeably bigger every year in my opinion. Then I look at Luton and think well maybe we would have a chance if only we could get the Chicken Chokers to behave like normal owners. Forlorn hope I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled_Rover Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Another 3-0 battering for Burnley at the weekend - even Radio Lancashire think they're down now. Are they in massive financial trouble do we think? Spent £110m on absolute duds after spending £40m to win the league last year. They surely won't get anything like the money they spent back on those players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Sticking my neck out but if Kompany doesn't completely rebuild the squad again, that lot will struggle in the Championship. Any of the current 100m squad increased their valuations? Very much doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It will be interesting to see if Kompany will be there next season and what the squad actually is and will it suit the Championship. This squad currently is very different to the one that actually got promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The gap between the parachute teams and the rest is becoming bigger and they have players like Zaroury and Twine who excelled at this level to come back, as well as players like Benson, Muric, Ekdal, Al-Dakhil and Cullen who have struggled for game time in the Prem. They have also signed players like Berge and O'Shea who are very good at Championship level but not quite up to it in the Prem. Sadly they will probably be back right at the top when they come down.

philipl Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 If the dingles win every game from now in, they will get to 40 points. The only question left is whether we will make it double M65 misery... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question left is whether we will make it double M65 misery... With 11 still to play their max points is 46. However about 30 could well be enough depending on the points deduction for Forest and possibly more for Everton. At home they've got mostly fellow strugglers - including Forest in the final match - and midtable teams. Unlikely but certainly not impossible as it stands.

M_B Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Last season Kompany inherited an experienced core of a Premier league squad, and then spent £30 million on top. Teams set up against them not to lose. This season, despite spending £100 million, he's come up against better teams who go into games with Burnley licking their lips and expecting to win. Rocket science it isn't.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 You’ve got to admire Luton, they’ve spent about one tenth of that and they’ve gone down fighting. Win, lose or draw they’ve gone for it. If we ever by some miracle get rid of the “ added degree of difficulty “ that are the Chicken Chokers that’s the way I’d like to see Rovers go about the task. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
