Promotion our only Hope??

Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:02 am

It has to be promotion.

The Malaysians wont invest at this club at the moment in my opinion, would you?

Promotion is the only hope as i see it, but Ridsdale still needs to be out of our club.

If the players dont step up and get some wins, then we are royally up the creak without a paddle.

The Judges comments yesterday confirm the same hence why our Chairmen is yet to comment on yesterdays events.

I think we're a more attractive option on the brink of promotion rather than being in the actual Premiership. Purely on the asking price basis. Imagine the ransom fee Ridsdale will demand if we get promoted, then we'll never get rid of him! I actually believe promotion could spell the end for us and we'll end up like Portsmouth.

Personally, I don't see the Riddler leaving if we get promotion. I can only see him staying for royalties.

As for the Malaysian investors.. I can only believe it when I see it. The Riddler hasn't got his nickname for no reason.

With the players.. It's hard to explain the reason's why they blow so hot and cold. Chopra isn't the only one who can score goals. We've seen that.

IM VERY ANGRY with the whole situation, we are hoping that the Malaysians invest prior to our 56 day deadline, I dont think Ridders is silly enough waiting until the day before and risk the club being shut down in court. They will know in a few weeks I think whether the investment will happen if not we need to instigate voluntary admin prior to the deadline at least we will have a club to support and probably drop to lower divisions. Whilst I see your point with the prem promotion would the money from that be there prior to the 56 day deadline prob not sadly I think the play off dates may be after the deadline :( I think as fans we should not be taking this sitting down. OUR CLUB IS ON THE BRINK, THE HISTORY, THE PASSION , THE EUROPEAN GAMES WILL SOON BE NOTHING, I say we follow Man UTD and demonstrate in the ground CHANT HATE RIDSDALE LOVE THE CITY ETC ETC, sadly we are pawns in a chess game and through no fault of our own our club is on the brink the least we can do is vent our anger on the people who have f****** it all up for everyone

Ithink your right, the top shareholders/owners/debtors have millions ridding on the rest of this season

If it's bad for us imagine how bad it is for them, with millions ridding on a few results ???

If we win promotion some get paid, some make a fortune on a sale.

If we fail though, they stand to lose a bomb !!!!

Not that I feel sorry for them of course (except the small business people the club owe)
