    I thought I'd be funny and say that your current league position is as good as it gets for you, but then I looked at the table.<laugh>

    Sorry JWM, missed your response matey. We are actually in agreement to a degree. I was just saying that I don't think Harry or the Lambertmeister will ever come here. Equally, I think ME will give PJ until Christmas and assess it from there. Agree that I don't see ME forking out (deep pockets - short arms as I've said) but still on the fence about PJ.

    Can't see either Redknapp or Lambert here, certainly wouldn't want Redknapp to be honest, he could bankrupt us unless kept on a leash which he wouldn't like. Can see Jewell being given until December and if we're in the top 12, playing more good football like the first three games I can see him being backed with more cash. Have to say I don't like this strategy because it limits what we can buy in this window and if we have a new manager it gives him little time to assess and improve the team. The worst thing for me is that Clegg and Evans have always maintained that promotion is the aim, but Jewell is at an automatic disadvantage because of the financial constraints. For me this is the center frustration for fans, which has been building for years.

    It's like he is being set up to fail by not being backed. Having said that a lot of the players PJ brought in have already gone by having contracts terminated so I would be a bit cautious with my cash too.

    Now I would love to see where that 'buying' figure comes from.
    Chopra £1m
    Delaney £750k
    Edwards £1.5m
    JET £1.5m
    Martin £1.5m
    Scotland £750k

    Thats £7m on the key transfers in the current squad. You can add on nearly another £1m for the combined transfer fees of Loach, Stevenson, Hewitt, Cresswell & Drury.

    So if we call it £8m, for round figures sake, your quoted figure would mean that Keane & Jim, with players that have left have only spent a combined 5.75m, considering we know Norris was £2m, That leaves £3.75m for McAuley, Leadbitter, Priskin, Fulop, Shumi, Quinn and numerous other players. I dont think we have got anywhere near £30m but it must be around £20m. If we have got every transfer in within the ME era for under £14m I think we should give Clegg a bit more credit. It would be an amazing piece of work to have completed those deals for such little cash. It would open up a whole lot more as well!

    ME will hold the funds back until christmas and the end of PJ's contract, see where we are and if someone new has to come in then he will have funds.

    Regarding Saturday, i don't think we will come across many better teams than Blackpool and many better players than Tom Ince, if he isn't snapped up this week then there is no justice. the thing about saturdays result is that we could have quite easily gone in 1-1 instead of 2-0 down, we had to go for it in the second half and players like Ince will tear you apart if the slightest gap appears, which is what happened. So in all at least we got stuffed by a side who will finish in the top 2 of our division, not a mid-table side!

    Dodgy/ freak one off results happen but we have to ensure that that is all it is. We need a win tonight and at least a point on Saturday.

    What is it with people connected with 1p5wich? Their manager thinks games last 44 minutes and their fans think the season lasts 2 games!

    what compared to your guys who thought the game at fulham lasted 4 mins? you didn't answer the question, I'm sure you guys would have been banking on having 4 points towards your survival plan!

    I really don't think its early enough to be worrying about "survival plans", unless of course you're expecting Liverpool to be our relegation rivals this season!

    C-Rud, are you a Tory MP, You still haven't answered the question, how many points from the 2 games you played last year did you get compared to this year? or is hanging on to a draw against QPr deemed an improvement?

    Just a comparison C-Rud, to see if you have improved on results or not. But as you are avoiding answering i think not.
