The fall guy

Natural consequence of this ridiculous managerial merry-go-round. Clough's talisman loses form, becomes disaffected, drain on resources, has to be moved on. Sharp was Adkins' man and he knew how to get the best out of him. Now there's every chance he will become a casualty of further change.
 
Not convinced we will see the back of Billy any tine soon. Why would Wilder make him captain if he wasn't integral to his plans? Not saying he made the right choice but still it would be odd for Billy to be pushed out.
 
The Fall Guy. I remember that series for errr... its clever storylines and pitch perfect acting.

Richard Burton made his last ever acting appearance in that terrible Serries.

I hope he reads the things said about him on here and elsewhere by cretins and decides to leave. This fan base especially enjoys sticking the knife into its own.

Brayford? Long? Wilder?

Indeed, Lady HB reminded me earlier how the fans used to get on at Corky so often. Nothing changes.

Always had a soft spot for Billy . Used to watch him on a regular basis at Rushden and Diamonds . Local derby against Northampton . Last minute goal by Billy in a 3 -2 win.

Never really was given a chance at the lane previously .

Here and now . He does need to act like a captain and pull his socks up . I know it's only 4 games in but he doesn't look interested to me . Who fault it is - no idea.

If he stays he stays , if he goes he goes . Unfortunately my thoughts on any of them in a red and white shirt .

Wilde 2 out of 10 . Just hope there is method in his madness . Don't think Wilder and Billy love each other
 
I remember , Beesley , and Gannon getting fierce stick as well , but he was a hero when he scored the goals v Burnley in the cup , then fast forward to Quinn , Monty , Porter , Sammon ( rightly so as I said when he signed for us that he was shite ) before kicking a ball ,Doyle but that changed when he scored v West Ham ,
Now it's take ya pick , everybody seems fair game .
 



I listened to the RS interview of CA after the Millwall match. When asked about Brayford , CW starts to give an honest answer and then stumbles after 2 seconds and changes it to say "we felt we had to freshen things up". What rubbish the poor guy is having to spout to keep his job ! Then , without being asked he goes on to say "I made that decision" about 7 times. Clearly he did not. What manager voluntarily decides to loan out a man he described several times previously as "the best RB in the division" ? Clear proof that CW is definitely McCabe's fall guy.
Then CW goes onto say that Freeman is the excellent replacement , someone he summarily placed on the transfer list ! But naturally that point is not put to him by interviewer , who couldn't cross-examine his way out of a paper bag.
When that interview was replayed on FH last night , they had edited out the beginnings of the honest answer and the stumble into the contrived answer , so it now sounds like the contrived answer is an immediate and therefore more credible one.
There are 2 irresistible conclusions :

1. McCabe has repeatedly cut the wages budget even after CW took the job. It keeps getting smaller every week. Our squad has gone from 46 to under 20 and still there is no headroom to sign people.

2. The RS and the Star reporters are a sorry excuse for journalism - they never ask the questions of McCabe which are screaming to be asked in the name of common sense and the loyal fans.
Where , apart from downwards , does his track record suggest he will take the Club ?
Where , apart from downwards , will his slashing or the wages budget take the team ?
What , apart from destroying a Premiership Club in less than 10 years , does he wish his legacy to be ?
Why , if he is such a Blade , can he not see that investment in the playing side is required ?
Has he looked where Wet Sham are now ? Does he feel a bit stupid these days ? Has he heard of karma ?
Instead of suing them after we went down , shouldn't he have replaced Rob Hulse immediately and kept us us up ?
Has he seen how countless big fish who found themselves in L1 had to invest to go straight back up ?
Did he have a plan for replacing Ched if convicted in 2012 ?
Did we have a CF in 2009 after he sold BT in the Jan ?
Instead of saving a couple of million on today's wages budget , has he counted the millions he might have made if we'd stayed in the Premiership or returned there fairly quickly ?
Has he ever looked at Stoke City , a nothing Club of similar size to us, until they reached the Premiership by hoofball , but then had the chairman to stay there ?

Just give me an hour with McCabe on live Radio and he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

But thats never gonna happen , so all I can do is be one of the next 1000 that we lose off the gate.

When we dip under 10,000 and the pigs are in the Premiership , will he still be talking about bad luck ?

Fuming.

All good points, a series of bottling it/penny pinching at vital times, combined with raging after the event, mixed in with mock humility about making 'mistakes' again...and again...and again...

And therein lies the problem. The real money and sponsorship in English football lies with on-line gambling (Coates at Stoke - Bet 365) or digital (Derby's Chairman 'invented' Candy Crush Saga.)

The days of t'local lad made good as Chairman of his boyhood team has gone. And this financial shift of power extends to shirt sponsorship. Only four PL teams have British concerns on their shirts (and one of those is the loan-bandit outfit Wonga, at Newcastle.)

Our years of regression have seen us left way behind, and not just on the pitch.
