    I'm not even angry, I've been expecting this for weeks.

    It's going to be a long season.

    Not the shoreline, but the speed at which they reached 3 has surprised me.

    Thought we would get to half time before we were 3 down.

    Not really. We always seem to lose the opening match, but this is still alarmingly bad.

    Not really what can you expect when shopping at netto we need quality and experience its ok getting young hungry players in but getting battered week in week out wont help there confidence at all

    I expected us to get battered but not this quickly.

    Players don't even appear to be trying based on the scoreline.

    This. Spot on. You need some experience to help the youngsters.

    Imagine it's just got a whole lot harder to get any players to sign on now....

    What was it; three goals in ten minutes. That's bad by any standard.

    You can't sell all your best players and expect to produce a winning team. When we were promoted to the Premier League we did that by keeping our best players and adding quality to them.

    Not really, you can't sell as many quality players we have and hope to survive bringing in who we have. The money banked must outweigh being a Championship team according to PC.

    Even after we sold players in January we still won at Villa Park, I'm surprised by this scoreline I'll be honest. I was slightly optimistic.

    I forget how important Scowen, Watkins and Roberts were I guess.

    We've all been lied to by the board. The board have let us down big time.

    Or maybe having a team outweighs being a Championship team to Mr Cryne? He's terminally ill, his son doesn't want the club, we have no buyers, can no-one see that he's making sure we have enough to survive in the short term should anything unthinkable happen? Hecky has a good point however, that winning games means our players are worth more and therefore likely to make us more money than if we lose every match.

    I can see that point but I don't see how it is actually helping us in that scenario one bit. The money we have banked will be all but wiped out within a matter of months if we don't do something now. Relegation costs us minimum of £5m per year and as Patrick cryne told us we were unsustainable in league one without his donations so I'm not sure how banking money which is likely to see us back there is making us financially safe

    Being unsustainable in league 1 is a joke.

    Our aim was to be self sufficient.

    He's owned the club how long?

    And we are still not self sustainable.

    Who's fault is that

    Someone somewhere would buy the club.

    And no one knows what James Cryne's thoughts are on continuing his Dad's work are now.

    Exactly the point we were making on here the other day about some posters. Sell all your best players or don't have a football club, no middle ground then??
