I certainly wouldn't think the academy players will be thinking hes a crap coach at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will we have scraped a play off spot, we have been in them pretty much the whole season and only recently occupied 6th spot for 2 separate weeks, hardly scraping them.

Then we also had a few injuries to key players! "Not too bad" can be also be viewed as being "not very good". If our spending as you say has been roughly equivalent to the teams above us then I would expect us to be in that group not cut adrift of the automatic promotion challengers. With a squad our size using injuries as an excuse doesn't cut it for me either I admire your positive spin but say again scraping the play offs is a poor return, the only redemption would be promotion and that's like flipping a coin.

Sith Happens Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 One thing i am sure of...a few weeks ago i thought getting in the playoffs was pointless anyway. But now I am actually optimistic we will at least make the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no hint at automatic promotion in your posts. Just that a you won't be celebrating scraping into the play offs. In what I questioned you about the scraping into the play offs, to which you have then said you were alluding to something else and not answered how have we scraped into the play offs?

I know @David had a look into qouted taken from the forum before by a newspaper (can't remember which one, not a mainstream one) I don't know which one this time, @unclej is the one to point it out.

I suppose you can say the same for most of the teams in the PL compared with Leicester. Spending money doesnt guarantee success and never has done.

I had a feeling it was the i last time it happened, and I am sure they misquoted the poster, took part of their quote and made it look as though they were calling the club.

Was there a question somewhere in all of that? I've already clarified my opinion yet you choose to repeat the same query even after doing so. Can I be a moderator please.
