eh up me old mucca, wondered where you'd gotten to, hadn't heard from you since we overtook you in the table, any reason in that?
Anyway, whatever happened to you definitely going up via the play offs this season? As I said before, nothings guarenteed in football until it's mathematic, which is looking very likely to prove itself this season (like when you guarenteed you'd finish in a play off spot).
If Sven really was a world class manager he'd have you up there at the top with the money he's had available and almost definite on promotion this season, he would also not have let his team go on such a downward spiral of form over the last few games in this league. He's a good manager, but he doesn't know how to correct things when they start going wrong, hence the reason he's not managing a world class team in the worlds best league. He's been there, done that, failed. I'm not the best at formulae problems but I'm fairly sure Sven + Money doesn't = guarenteed success, as is being proven at this very minute.
Here's a little one for you to figure out, Steve Walsh + Money = great young players, as you know very well. Great young players + Nigel Pearson = Form. Form = ?
Also, why have you given up on the play offs already this season? You're only 5 points out, the same gap as when you were 'guarenteed a play off finish' a few weeks ago, with the play off teams starting to faulter with the pressure of teams below closing in. Is it because you're not good enough, or because there's other better teams infront of you in the que like us, or both?
But obviously when your two points off playoffs you get excited, just like you lot are now. Although I fully expect to be back here with 'I told you so' written over these boards.
