From a conversation I had yesterday, this was apparently discussed on Sky Sports.

With Roy continuing to perform miracles with a non existent transfer budget, aging squad and only creative wanting out, what happens when decides to call it a day ?

We have the ingredients to fall like clubs such as Sunderland and Stoke.

Unless we get bought out or start planning post Roy, we could be falling rapidly.

Therein lies the conundrum for me......how do you plan for post-Roy? Start buying players now, and they could well be an expensive mistake if they do not fit with the plans/style of any new manager. Using up what funds are available to buy more additions to the bench warmers would be stupid.

Don't buy, and you will have trouble attracting a decent replacement for Roy, and even if you do then he would only have a severely restricted amount of time to find players to suit him and the team.

A real chicken and egg situation - but agree that something needs to be done. Maybe once we unload some more of the 'dead wood' purchases?

I presume, i may be wrong, you are talking of the brains trust that is Stelling , Merson, Le Tiss, Nicholas and Thomspson.
In which case no need to worry.

Football clubs are slowly destroying themselves, with the most money ever seen in the top tiers, expenditure exceeds income by tens of millions. If clubs were a high st business they would be long gone.

Disaster, you mean relegation to the Championship ? Looking at that league recently and teams dropping down it will be tough but not impossible to bounce back quickly. Further back it seemed to be a lot easier but there are now lots of teams who have been up and down and it is a real scrap. One things for sure you have to be financially ready as it could easily cripple the club. Can't see Roy not giving good notice unlike a few previous managers. There does seem to be some decent young managers around who have come from the Championship and doing pretty well in the PL. Hate to say it but the Weeds have one, Sheff U as well. There are also a few good players in that league as well but we never seem to tap into it here. In regards to Wilf, remember we didn't have him for one season or so in the PL but still managed to stay up with a well drilled defense and gutsy squad but also an experienced manager in these scenarios which are now in short supply for us as we seem to have exhausted those possibilities. The worry is that the one man team snowball engulfs the club like a stone around our neck and drags us down. Of course a lot will depend on how the squad is reshaped after his departure, which may well be this summer. Overall the next appointment as manager may well be crucial.
