No light at the end of the tunnel

In 2006/7 season we finished 18th, 6 teams were worse than us of which 3 were of course relegated. We the sold earnshaw for 3.5m and replaced him with Jc for about 750k, we sold etuhu for 1.5m and replaced him with rusty for about 600k, and sold safri for whatever and replaced hime with brellier on a bosman.

2007/8 we finished 3pts of being relegated. further investment in players was limited to bosmans and cheapo's and endless largely poor loans and we lost hucks.

2008/9 looks like we will be relegated.

We have had some terrible management appointments.

The boards financial input in relation to their wealth has in fact been quite generous but without significant new cash we will become a league 1 team for years to come.
