The trust have a great opportunity to significantly increase their numbers if they were in the Vanguard of discontent being expressed right now and as @LargeAddick and a few others have said would sign up immediately as would I. C'mon CAST relegation will be a total disaster, another 5/6 weeks and it could be too late, this is our hour of need, go for it, YOUR time to stand up and be counted is now!WestCountryAddick said:

We will probably be happy to scrape a 0-0 at Kingstonian by then......se9addick said:
I look forward to him masterminding our stunning 2-1 victory away to league leaders Kingstonian in seven seasons time !Croydon said:
maybe their plan is for us to keep getting relegated until KF finds his managerial level.alan dugdale said:I wouldn't bet against us dropping again, to League 2, with these muppets in charge.

I understand why they would want to do it, but we have seven league games between now and 30th January, we could already be cut adrift by then. It's a tough call to make. I wonder if it's worth applying pressure now in the hope it will force the club into removing Fraeye, installing someone better (I know...some hope!), then giving them the players in January to turn things around?Nug said:
That's fair enough I guess but don't think anyone really believes anything significant will change in January to arrest this slide into League One.WestCountryAddick said:

Why do we need to go down to clear out shit players? How about instead we buy right in the first place and dont cock up every single decision from board level down to tactics?13

Ask Luton who won the League Cup in 1988 and were in the old First Division (equivalent of the PL) 'til 1991-92 and ended up in the Conference.
Or Tranmere who were 4th in 1992-93 in the old Division 1 (equivalent of the Championship) who are currently mid table in the National League.
Or, more recently, Barnsley who were in the PL in 1997-98 and are currently heading for League 2.
Momentum is a two way street. And once you are heading downhill it's a very difficult climb back up.7 -
Dropping into league one would be simply a disaster on all fronts , a financial disaster it's the last thing you need .9

We thought we'd come back with ease last time round, it took 3 seasons to get out of League 1 , with the way we are being run, i fear it could be a lot longer this time round.1

we wont come back for along time and not as the club we support now

good post .. I wonder if your result yesterday will lead to Jackett (no tie) being sacked before Wolves take the plunge ..operationpig said:Dropping into league one would be simply a disaster on all fronts , a financial disaster it's the last thing you need .
and NO NO NO .. relegation for us would be a catastrophe of Titanic proportions .. excuse the hyperbole .. disastrous, death knell, no salvation, no resurrection during my lifetime0 -
Relegation would be "good" for us in the same way that amputation would be good for weight loss.
We go down and I fear league one becomes "our level" for a number of years struggling to break even with Championship ambition.5 -

Precisely. And if the biggest, most respected and admired club in Sheffield can fester down in the lower leagues for years it's a stark warning to us all ;-)operationpig said:Our friends from across the city cry to bed every night because of their activity in the pub league .

If Jacket does get the bullet he'd be a good fit for us...........Oh hang on a minute we don't do experienced Championship British managers at their level of pay. Anyway Kenny has already performed miracles once in South East London and probably wouldn't want to go through all that again.Lincsaddick said:

-Our exciting young prospects will far less inclined to stay with us for a season (or three) of being kicked around at Fleetwood & Oldham when the big Premier league teams come knocking.
And that's just off the top of my head. So no, you couldn't be more wrong, relegation at this point within the current context will be one of the worst things to happen to this football club, it's almost a perfect storm from which we will struggle to fully recover, ever.1 -

I suspect that uncle Ken's miracle man days are over .. he's made a pig's ear of managing an expensive Wolves squad most of whom he signed .. he'd certainly struggle to turn our thin, callow and inexperienced bunch into overnight winnersRedChaser said:

Quite - imagine how much harder it'll be to not only retain but attract young talent in League One.Southbank said:

Honestly, with the other factors I mentioned, this is probably the worst time in our history to be relegated to the third tier and I genuinely do not think the people running out club grasp just how catastrophic it will be.5 -

You're deluded if you think that.curbs1965 said:Its not contradiction, just saw on Saturday that we are simply not good enough! If we can't get a point week in week out maybe its better we drop? I will at least see them win more than they lose!!!

We need 1.33 points, week in week out, to meet the 50 point mark (credit Lairdman on ITTV for the stat).curbs1965 said:Its not contradiction, just saw on Saturday that we are simply not good enough!

But as I say relegation will devastate the club and is losing football matches will be the least of your concerns.3 -
Not sure you've really "got" this game.operationpig said:No way will charlton get relegated this season .
What you are supposed to say is that we are certain to be relegated, and this is certain to see us drop out of the football league and it will be the end of Charlton.
No other option is even thinkable and to be honest I'm amazed you haven't been slated for your mildly optimistic post.1 -
Can you make sure we take 3 points home when we come to your placeoperationpig said:No way will charlton get relegated this season .
