You've missed the point @Tamworthram it's all about what Roy wants. Every success, large or small that the rest of us enjoy under the current set-up is just another hair across Roy's a4se. Ironically, this please me greatly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only occurred to me that this is the first manager to see a whole season since we had Nigel Clough here, long may it continue. Even if we don't manage promotion this year, to see a change in the approach to management this year is encouraging. A truly settled club with a clear direction will always get to the promised land, whether it be in the short or the long term. Yes, we are unlikely to get past Fulham, but a top six finish is enough to warrant GR getting another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, and hopefully he will have learned from his experiences this season. He hasn't used the loan market to much effect and this could be used to get in some younger players and also spare Morris splashing big cash. Of course if we dispatch Fulham and prevail at Wembley then the considerations change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I can'thank Mel. He ruined our best team this side of the millennium and set us five years backwards. Will take us years to undo the mess he has created and possibly up to a decade to get us back to a level of 2013-2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Mel has such a good understanding of all these different areas and is constantly juggling to get them to line up to our best advantage is testament to his dedication to our club. I am impressed. Just read that.. Same old really. What did make me laugh was when he said other clubs only really look at you and get a plan together when you get to second.. Jeeez. So nobody bothers until then. No idea.. Pethaps that’s what we do? It’s hard to change your style formation etc.. Must have been a light bulb for him.. What happened about flexible and changing teams and formation for specific opposition? Rowett only had 4 days to prepare for a change in formation prior to the Cardiff, Villa & Boro games.. Now that really worries me, WTF have they been doing in training the rest of the season then.. That is a really poor reflection of Rowett and his game preparation and again just shows that half of what they spout is just bollx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktwo Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Over the last 5 seasons there are plenty of examples of teams who have been promoted spending little and plenty of examples of those who have spent loads . Some have stayed up some have come down . Having a stable club that doesn't gamble the whole future on a failed attempt to reach the money is surely the sensible option. Three will still get promoted and three relegated every season... time for cool heads . When we do get promoted the ******** will intensify as to how we did it .. the reality is we achieved more points than the rest or came through the 3 game cup competition ... Enjoy the ride . Just think we could be forest in 17th ffs. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottrillRAM Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The first manager to experience the annual February bottling and be given the chance to try and fix it in the summer, hopefully Rowett gets it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a PL wildcard should we get there, I'd love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
