Brazilian Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is it ?? Doesn't relegate us, or put us in financial trouble?? Probably put us in to a very bad result for the financial year, Likely call on Well Society funds that are depleting with out enough replenishment Cash loss in European football, horsed out the league cup with almost no cash income, horsed out Scottish cup, likely fine or damage costs, loss of key commercial income in run up to festive season. I'd say this result is pivotal to putting us back a year or two in real terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim64 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yet another shocker,not unexpected though as we have been very poor this season some players not up to it others bereft of confidence.Season ended today keep on playing like this it,ll be bottom 6. Time up for Shagger Bob and as for that black strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have not been to a game all season since the Kuban game, mainly due to family life and not getting the time to go to the games. I will be back but not sure when. Today sounds like a shocker and to be honest it's been on the cards. I am pretty scunnered with football in general. I feel the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider. The fact we made a loss in Europe said it all for me and proved to me that fifa, Uefa and the rest want a rich mans playground and us and other teams will find less and less rewards for doing well. What am I getting at? Well it's a feeling of what's the point... We are scraping the bottom of the barrel for players and ours and many other teams youth policies are just not producing the goods (apart from Dundee utd who seem to be excellent at it) and this is where we will make money. We struggle to provide the right deals for players and lose them for nothing and it's now bit us in the arse. I get more excited playing 5 a sides these days and really struggle to get even remotely excited about professional football these days. Sad times.

underboyleheating Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 ...and as for that black strip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Ian-in-Oz Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 With the exception of the first half at Tannadice we have been very poor all season. We keep saying we are waiting for a catalyst to come along that will kick start our season. At this rate there will be four games left to play & we will still be saying don't worry our season will kick start soon. Sending out the same team every week with the same tactics clearly isn't working as all we are getting is absolute dross performances. Yes we are high in the league but our results against the top teams show exactly where we stand & even the happiest clapper must know that out victories against the bottom teams hasn't seen us play anything like good football. How many times have we been hanging on to a 1 goal lead when the game should be dead and buried long before. Something has to change unless McCall thinks we are suddenly going to start playing good football. If he's not going to change the team then change the tactics. It isn't working so don't just keep doing the same thing every week.

Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... texanwellfan Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 No doubt about it, we are pretty bad just now despite our lofty position in the league. The season is only just over a third of the way done so who knows where we will end up in the league. Over the past few "successful" years on here, there have been many time where apparently we have been on a downward spiral only to end up in a very good position. However, that may be more difficult to achieve this season comapred to the last few but I will reserve judgement till much later in the season. Having said that, I think McCall has done enough to warrant some slack, in that, if this is ends up a bad season he should have a shot at turning it around next season. To be honest I am not even sure what the defenition of a bad season is. No european spot? not in top 6? lack of cup runs? crap viewing ? financial loss? perhaps one of those or some combination. I think if we have a manager who can consistently keep us in the top 6 then we are doing well. I think McCall will have this team finish in the top 6 and hopefully next season get us back in the top 3.

The same thing happened under Tommy McLeans tenure, we won the Scottish Cup then struggled for the next couple of seasons, with people wanting McLean out when we finished down towards the bottom of the league. He was given time and in his last season, he managed to get the players to play well and we finished 3rd, before McLeish took the same players to 2nd before he dismantled the team and brought in his own players (nuff said about that). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
