Originally posted by silvertop In all fairness you have predicted relegation every season and and defeat for every game so you can't wholly blame the comments. I am not entirely certain that I have predicted relegation each and every season,nor defeat in every game but I fully accept that I have been less than optimistic about our chances of survival nor our prospects in each game so the "Elijah of doom" is perhaps an accurate description!

Not so much an expectation, more of a hope really. Was going to start a thread, but thought I'd ask the question here. Does anyone know of plans to replace Kayla the Eagle next season? Would hope so. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

next season - a tough slog, possibly our most perilous since first season up. However the right new manager, a few astute signings & whos knows pretty steady with some better footy than whats been served up last few years ? fingers crossed. Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Originally posted by Frickin Saweet my expectations are that for next season we have a new progressive manager who will aim to evolve our style of football, we cut loose dead wood that doesn't fit the evolving style, and make a few intelligent signings which improve our first team. I'm less worried about league position (as long as it's above bottom 3) and more interested in us trying to play with an intention of what competitive sport and football should be, to put a bit of excitement and pride back in the team and fans. I am quite sure that the priority will remain exactly as it has been under Roy. To remain in the Premier League by whatever means is needed. Our long term development demands that we do that. Expectations of excitement through a new playing style, whilst understandable, need to be tempered with realism. We need to find our excitement and pride in other ways. Going down whilst being admired for our style, would be a disaster. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Lower divisions and insolvency courts littered with teams with similar aspirations. Fortunately we have already been there and the management is not so naive to go there again

When a manager is announced; depending on whom and how prestigious their history is will tell us how much chance we have of survival or better.

Full stadium of fans & we beat Manure 5-0 at homelike we did 50yrs ago. This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Not sure Frank is what I was looking for as a replacement for Kayla. But I guess if he could get the team flying from goal to goal, maybe he'd be worth a punt. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Providing we get the new manager sorted soon and not leave it until the end of this month, so that the squad re-build can start, we will be ok
