And therefor his aim, if a cheaper squad won't cut it in the championship Out of interest does anyone know the financials of going down to league 1 from the Championship? I didn't think it was that great a jump. Maybe he isn't that arsed about going down. Probably thinks it'll give Woodgate a chance to learn the ropes and gain some momentum as there is a huge quality gap between L1/Championship. Link to post Share on other sites

His man management is nothing short of terrible. a terrible side can still make the playoffs, id hardly say we played well in regard. and my comment on the terrible players was aimed at the 3 strikers i mentioned, but reading back i realise that wasnt clear in my post.

I mean between Fletcher, Randolph, Britt and Saville we'd be taking 35 million pounds in assets down while writing off 15 million in Howson/Gestede/Johnson on the way down we're in a hole no matter which division next summer.

Probably thinks it'll give Woodgate a chance to learn the ropes and gain some momentum as there is a huge quality gap between L1/Championship. I haven't looked at any actual figures, but its logical to assume there will be significantly less revenue. Smaller sponsorship deals, less TV money filtering down, fewer ticket sales and probably less merchandise too. As I said in a previous post, given that Gibson is still having to subsidise the club, even with the cuts we've already made, its scary to think how much further the cost-cutting would have to go, to make the club self-sustaining in League 1. I'm worried it would be the start of a vicious spiral. I'm all for the club being self-sustaining and on a sound financial footing, but I think the chairman isn't going about it in the smartest way (in my humble opinion). I mean, how we could do with that money that was splashed out in that season where we were supposed to "smash the league". Last but not least, I don't think the quality gap between the Championship & League 1 is as big as you think it it. Look at how Luton played in our first game.

TeaCider24 12,398 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm enjoying just watching Final Score and pretending to be a neutral. 8 games without a win, 4 games without a goal, 2 points adrift in the relegation zone and no sign of anything getting better. Cheers Gibson, it's a surprise to nobody but you. Link to post Share on other sites
