TLF10 4,440 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Caleb Folan and Chris Killen. Alex Nimely on bench. On a serious note. Viduka would be my first pic for sheer tekkers. JFH for sheer "no sh*ts given" finishing. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Not sure if anyone noticed but out the bottom 8 teams in the league, 6 are playing each other this weekend. Charlton v Us Wigan v Luton Stoke v Hull The other 2 teams in bottom 8 are Huddersfield (away to Leeds) and Barnsley (home to Cardiff). Could be a MASSIVE weekend. I think its 3 out the above 8 teams who go down. Huddersfield who sit top of this "8 team mini league" in 17th are on 42pts. 4pts clear of us who obviously occupy the last relegation spot. Reading in 16th on 45pts are probably safe. #utb 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Away win Wigan v Luton.... Draw/Away win Stoke v Hull.... Draw Leeds V Huddersfield..... (Hate to say it.) Home win. Barnsley V Cardiff..... Away win Also. It would be better for us to see Birmingham beat Reading as I am not sure they are completly out of the mix yet. Edited March 4, 2020 by BoroAbroad Link to post Share on other sites

It illustrates how poorly we’re run to have such a high wage bill and average wage, especially when compared to the likes of Brentford Sheffield United and Leeds who are far better on and off the pitch that us. We absolutely deserve to be relegated for being so poorly run behind the scenes and tactically set up so poorly on match days by Woodgate. However, Gibson and Woodgate will no doubt come out with the “we were very unlucky” line if we get relegated as expected. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 When are those Boro numbers from? Some clubs say 2019 and others don’t have a number. We haven’t released our accounts yet so are they from 2018? I’d suggest that the current boro numbers are significantly lower than those in the graphs after the departure of some high earners like Braithwaite and Randolph and Flint.

Add that to the fact our last Prem contracts and majority of silly season barring Britt come to an end this season and I think we are considerably lower than that. Lack of ambition imo is more our issue, despite what Gibson says. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If we were to win then those games mentioned as being draws then I would prefer a win out of them as it allows a 3 point gain/advantage instead of 1, which would be the preference if we did not win of course Link to post Share on other sites

Even allowing for our figures to be a bit out of date, it illustrates how much more cost-cutting will be necessary, if we do drop into League 1, where the average player wage (or so I've read) is around £8k. Can be as low as £3k with a top end around £15k. Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,870 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 On 3/2/2020 at 6:00 PM, GrimsbyBoro said: AnglianRed I agree on both points. I feel like Lamb turned Gibbo's head with the thought that they could bring in Strachan. I was probably one of the few but I wished we had kept AK. I think we would most likely be in the prem now or spent the last few years as a yo-yo club. With hindsight we would have been better keeping AK but there were other forces at play within the club that made his position almost untenable. The main reason was that he knew more about football than our Chairman and having an opinion on things didn't fit in with the job description and so the Tee Tee Teessiders won the day and we are still counting the cost and it isn't over yet! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
