Its a bit bad when you can almost guarantee that the relegated clubs will dump their managers. I think Dyche will be safe but Ramsey will be gone even if they stay I think he's short term, with Advocat but Pearson will go too but to be honest the guys record in the championship is very decent, he's done it before. I would argue the case that they'd be better keeping him and letting him get on with rebuilding minus the big money signings which haven't done it.
Maybe that's just too level headed in this day and age.

I think that's a good shout OM, Pearson has done well in the Championship and common sense would say keep him, but sadly supporters would probably consider that unacceptable and probably the board as well. As you say the most sensible and logical things are rarely the case.

Looking forward to what LENNON does pre season much will depend on if Davies is still in charge of our financial plight but that aside I really think LENNON will do us proud and make a real fist of us making a serious challenge at the top of the league.

Having seen the annual figures, it is plain to see how reliant the club is on Eddie Davies. If he didn't keep putting money in we would be sinking like Blackpool. If the players wages bill has to be contained within £30 million how can we survive on the gates we are getting and the small amount of TV income we get? I forecast another season of wheeling and dealing so thank goodness we have Neil Lennon in charge. He walks the walk and talks the talk. But how long can Eddie Davies continue to subsidise the club? That is the big question.

I agree with what you said above about N L .These are early days. We are entering a different era. No money to spend on players, a budget to stick to plus the hard task of selecting the right Academy youngsters who can be brought on to cope with the challenge of playing in the Championship. Still many other Championship clubs are in the same financial position as us. Look at Brighton for example and they have much bigger gates than us. What is most annoying is the way all the Sky cash goes to Premiership clubs with the result that soon you can bet with some certainty that the three who go up will be the three who come down.

It looks as though that will be the case this year never mind next! There is a small chance that one of the three will demote Sunderland or Hull but I can't see it. And when we think how dominant Leicester were last season in our division it's a worry.. Having said that it wasn't much fun struggling in the premier League.

Leicester aren't that far away though(not like Derby/Sunderland of the past)and they'll always have that 5-3 game against United to remember and Burnley have been very combative without spending much money. If they can stay up and I hope they do they'll have made a tidy sum. That has to be our ultimate goal, promotion go up and spend little(even if it means finishing rock bottom) Bring in some loans, free transfers on short contracts and mix them in with the young players in the hope that they improve for the season after. Maybe a 2, 3 or 5 year 'season' ticket so you get a price freeze but are committed for a longer time even if relegated.
I used to hate the label of "yo yo team" we had in the late 90's, but its vital for us now.
Jumping the gun a bit though, we're still closer to relegation.
