royalowlisback Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 We have the best squad in the league by a country mile, one of, if not the highest wage bill and more than enough experience to launch a promotion push right from the off. Anything less than promotion is a massive failure, if we go up, either automatic or via the play-offs, then Moore will have achieved his objective. The signings, formation's, substitutions and squad selection's have in the main, been quite frankly bizarre - good players get results though which is why we still have a shot at promotion. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 To be a succesful season we have to go up but if we dont it's still been a exciting season with something riding on every match and the team since settled playing some very attractive winning football . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply already had too many good players still at the club for that to happen. You could say the same about our Championship squad that got relegated from the Championship though. Sometimes it's not just the squad but the other stuff around it that's going off 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I do rate Ainsworth as a manager. Surely some bigger club will give him a go at some point. You’d think QPR would try him at some point, but I guess his playing style doesn’t appeal. Down here, Plymouth fans have over the years, created this anti-Wycombe, anti-Ainsworth hysteria to such an extent that somehow, Wycombe nearly always beat them.

BridportOwl Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) It is interesting that some of those people who say we should have walked this league with our current squad hardly included any of the current players in the thread about our best combined squad in League Two/Old Div Three.

It makes me wonder what job most posters on here do. Imagine, in any business sector, having the largest overheads of all competitors and being allowed to substantially increase those overheads with your own choice of asset - and then people finding it laughable with suggestions that this person should smash it out of the park. Would make for an interesting conversation with your boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be interested in other clubs wage bills and seeing if simply having the biggest wage bill means guaranteed success (it doesnt) The wage bill trend that everyone's jumping on the bandwagon of and trying to use as an argument that the manger is underachieving, is flawed, and is no better an argument than the one about everything going through Bannan so we'll only be a better team when he's gone It's just the latest thing that people want to trot out because they've heard other people say it - despite it being wrong, flawed, and irrelevant 3 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is massive synergy between wage bill and success. And the managers with a big wage bill that underachieve get sacked. Thats football.
