    How much difference do we think Snodgrass would have made to us had he been fit ?

    If we do go down, will Bruce still be our manger next season ?

    What do we think the Allams do if we get relegated ?

    Which players do we think will
    (a) Jump Ship ?
    (b) Be sold ?
    (c) Will stay and fight to get us promoted again ?

    If we do stay up what lessons need to be learned from this season ?

    Would a decent European Campaign have helped the players Psyche ?

    your thoughts would be appreciated on these matters.

    Snodgrass? Didn't seem to help Norwich's plight last year.
    Bruce? Yes until he is sacked
    Allams? They will remain at the club. The value to any potential buyer will fall through the floor if relegated.

    Expect the following to be sold if relegated: N'Doye, Hernandez, Jelavic, Livermore, Huddlestone, Diame.
    Expect the following to be sold even if we stay up: Davis, Huddlestone, Hernandez

    Lessons? Find a billionaire backer

    European campaign? We would have been in a worse position with probably more injuries

    How much difference do we think Snodgrass would have made to us had he been fit ?

    I don't think he could have done much worse, in terms of creativity, so I would think he would have been a real improvement.

    If we do go down, will Bruce still be our manger next season ?

    Yes.

    What do we think the Allams do if we get relegated ?


    Look foolish., to be polite. Or, as it is, they will look like the absolute tossers they are; but it doesn't take relegation to do that.

    Which players do we think will
    (a) Jump Ship ?

    N'Doye, Diame.
    (b) Be sold ?
    Hernandez, Huddlestone, Ince, Robertson.
    (c) Will stay and fight to get us promoted again ?
    Err, the rest?
    If we do stay up what lessons need to be learned from this season ?

    Round pegs in..

    Would a decent European Campaign have helped the players Psyche ?

    Yes, probably! :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    How much difference do we think Snodgrass would have made to us had he been fit ?

    hard to tell - we wouldn't have bought Diame if Snodgrass hadn't been injured

    If we do go down, will Bruce still be our manger next season ?

    No - he should be sacked

    What do we think the Allams do if we get relegated ?


    Blame the fans - who are irrelevant - so that will be confusing. - I don't expect this monumental **** up will appear anywhere near his cv - the 'Proud' video will be quietly removed and the toilet signs will become Ladies and Gents again - he will say despite the majority of fans wanting to change the name to Hull Tigers he will only agree to it if we get back into the Premier League

    Which players do we think will
    (a) Jump Ship ?

    N'Doye, Diame. Davies, Figeroa, McShane, Sagbo, Junior Bruce will follow his dad to make sure he gets a game - same goes for Meyler, Harper will retire

    (b) Be sold ?

    Hernandez, Huddlestone, Ince, Robertson. Chester, Snodgrass, Livermore, possibly Brady

    (c) Will stay and fight to get us promoted again ?

    Allam will only retain those that have little residual value as he tries to get his gift back - Allam wont be able to sell the club and we really will go into freefall with him at the helm - at the end of the day Bruce has ****ed up a massive transfer kitty, played **** tactics, played people out of position and goes on holiday to Barbados right in the middle of our fight to stay in the Prem - he should have gone before Xmas

    If we do stay up what lessons need to be learned from this season ?

    None - Allam doesn't do learning lessons cos he never changes his mind .

    Would a decent European Campaign have helped the players Psyche ?

    Yes

    We've missed a proper winger this season so yes.

    Yes, knows how to get out of the league. Might not be with us if he gets us back up though.

    Nowt different, they're in deep so won't go anywhere soon.

    No one will go cheap (the market dictates that). Davies and Hernandez the exceptions and a couple of retirees end of contract players

    Lessons: we can't do more than 2 seasons in a row in the BPL

    Hard to tell, Everton have really struggled with their campaign.

    I do think we'll be better prepared than last time we went down which was an absolute shambles.

    Snodgrass ? Would have brought much needed agression.

    Bruce ? Yes

    The Allams ? They'll blame the supporters.

    Jump ship/sold ? Hernandez,Jelavic,Diame,Elmo,Robertson and a load of PLW's...

    Who'll stay ? Depends on the name change outcome.

    Lessons ? Don't sell players that can help keep us up,Boyd,Long. Have a decent keeper. Don't piss the supporters off !

    European campaign ? Well as a clubs league form traditionally suffers,no.

    Mr Allam says it is going up. Better edit your post, Happy. You don't want him to think you aren't singing from the same hymn sheet, do you?

    How much difference do we think Snodgrass would have made to us had he been fit ?

    He has a good end product, and isn't bad at set pieces either something we have been so poor at them this season. He couldn't have done any worse than what we currently have either.

    If we do go down, will Bruce still be our manger next season ?

    Yes, we have kept him this long we might as well give him a chance to get us back up seen as he won us promotion last time.

    What do we think the Allams do if we get relegated ?

    They will back us, they will try and keep as many players as they can as the only way they can get their money back is by us getting promotion back to the Premier League.

    Which players do we think will

    (a) Jump Ship ?

    Diame, N'Doye, Ince.

    (b) Be sold ?

    Huddlestone, Livermore, Jelavic, Elmo, Robertson, Chester, Hernandez.

    (c) Will stay and fight to get us promoted again ?

    Everyone else, and we will try and extend the contract for Mcshane and Rosenior.

    If we do stay up what lessons need to be learned from this season ?

    Find a system that works, stick with it. Try and figure out your best team earlier on and then don't chop and change every game. Don't rush players back from injury, make sure they are fully fit first.

    Would a decent European Campaign have helped the players Psyche ?

    It wouldn't have hurt, I doubt we would have been in an even worse situation.

    A few goals more and a few points more
    If we do go down, will Bruce still be our manger next season ?
    Depends on his contract, I think we need a new start
    What do we think the Allams do if we get relegated ?
    Cry, blame the Council, CTWD and the FA
    Which players do we think will
    (a) Jump Ship ? N'Doye, Davies, Brady
    (b) Be sold ? Huddlestone, Chester, Robertson
    (c) Will stay and fight to get us promoted again ? Jelavic, Macca, Rosie, Dawson, Bruce Jnr, Aluko, Quinn, Meyler

    If we do stay up what lessons need to be learned from this season ? Keep a settled team

    Would a decent European Campaign have helped the players Psyche ? Yes, there's no doubt in sports competing at the highest level improves you

    If we do go down at least we can still rely upon unconditional support from the silent majority: the thousands who have all been going week in week out since the 1960s.

    It's interesting to hear some people claiming decades of support, yet nobody seems to remember them from the old days.

    Popping in to the odd game at Boothferry Park seems to be enough justification for some.

    I just think, that should relegation occur (and let's remember that it isn't a certainty yet) that a player like Huddlestone, for example, would owe us a year in the Championship. He has been abject, to say the least, but would surely be as good a player as any in that league.

    Whether cost-wise, of course, it is a goer, is another thing.

    I don't know for sure, but I've been led to believe that players like Huddlestone, Livermore, Jelavic and I would imagine Hernandez, N'Doye, are raking in comfortably in the region of £40k-£60k a week. I realise that that would not be normal in the Championship, nor in any way sustainable, but a few of these owe us, IMO.

    In the event of relegation (not a certainty, remember), all of these will go of course.

    Seems like we never really learned our lesson.

    We both know its not thousands.

    We also both know its the hated flaskers that have, and will continue to go. They'll be at the home games and they'll jump onto the buses for the aways.

    They don't say much, they sit, and enjoy the football.

    You don't like them though, do you?

    Says the man who knew as a FACT about the benefits a name would bring. Facts only a private chat with Mr Allam could confirm. And ones which days after a request for you to share them with us to back up your statement are still not forthcoming. Maybe delusional imagination on your part?

    Delusional AND needy.

    Why would anyone want to share anything with you?

    Does the club need your rubber stamp before they can do owt?
