It will be the greatest failure in the clubs history. Worse than relegation worse than losing to Them in the play offs worse than not winning the league in 81. All that will pale in comparison. The single greatest failure in history.
The club is on a knife edge. What would the future hold? |  |

OK. I will play your game. What do YOU think our future would be if we did not go up this season?
Will GameChanger firesale all assets and flog the club to anyone prepared to pay something for the shell that remains? How much do you think that would raise? Would that be a better outcome for them than buying a club like Ipswich and looking to take them to the Premier League and sell for a profit? They are not desperate to protect their investment like someone like Evans was. Rather they want to make a big profit on what (in the context of the money they have available to them) is actually a relatively small outlay. |
Chico's post reminds me of my late bro driving our parents crazy on long car journeys with his incessant stream of "what ifs" re improbable events -
"Mummy, Mummy, what if the sun fell out of the sky, would we all die?"
"Daddy, Daddy, what if all the animals in England farted at the same time, would we still be able to breathe?"
He was only 10 at the time though. |  |

Goodness me, I thought I was a doom merchant!
Relax my brother, we will be ok |
Tbf, I think negative things happen to you, rather than you projecting negatives that may never come to pass. Maybe if Chico had experienced melted toy soldiers, he wouldn't be so concerned with the potential negative consequences after some seemingly great January additions. |  |

I just don’t understand all the downvotes. Why doesn’t everyone agree? Do you all somehow think that, despite spending millions on Davis Ahadme Camara and Broad and being 3rd in the League early Jan and reinforcing with 2 Premier League forwards and an international midfielder that failure from here would *not* be the biggest catastrophe in the clubs history? And that there is a real chance that that failure would lead to us being sold and/or all our management leaving?
Mind you I know many many on TWTD have forgotten what success looks like and I don’t blame them. |
Because nothing in sport is guaranteed, ask Pep about the Champions League.
The rest is all conjecture and bo11ocks to quote a Phil phrase. |  | | |

Coming by third isn’t failure. Getting relegated is |  |

Now I'm wondering what would happen if all the animals farted at the same time 🤔 |  |

Surely finishing third this season would indeed be failure. Offset by success in the play offs, natch. | |

I don’t get the delight that some ‘Town fans’ have every time we slip up. It’s weird.
We’ve had about 15 years of utter mediocrity (if we are being generous) and under investment. We are 3rs in the league with an excellent squad, entertaining football and bumper crowds.
Get a life. | | | |

Scared of success and the emotions that promotion might bring - they’ve been radicalised by failure and want it to continue. | | | |

It’s more that so many of you lot are so inured to failure that you think success would be the same thing. This season will be our greatest failure if we don’t go up in the light of our position and the reinforcements who arrived recently, even though one of them is already injured. | |

Honestly don't know why you're getting pelters here.
This team should be 10 points clear, we've had a number of pure bottle jobs this season...
Today
Cheltenham
Lincoln x2
Fleetwood
Charlton x2
Vale
Wednesday
Berserk money being spent on a Div 3 side; the results are not good enough. Cut it how you will, but that's the truth.
Hopefully Hirst & Broadhead make a difference... [Post edited 14 Jan 2023 19:20]

Agreed, feels like playing the man rather than the ball.
Would agree, worried it's more of a mindset issue than something new players can address, but can only hope | |

The only stand out result this season is Pompey at home, and they're a mess.
Derby, at home, at a push.
Honestly, we're coasting. | | | |

If you are counting today as a “bottle job’ you dont understand football. It was a pretty even game against the top team in the division , we took the lead and then restricted them to one half chance which they scored with a deflection. Nonsense to suggest it was a “bottle job” | | | |

I agree with you up to the final two sentences. Gamechanger will not abandon us if we fail to go up this year.
But it will be a huge failure if we don't go up this year. It feels like Sunderland in 20/21; too many draws will eventually cost us. Though Sunderland did follow it up with promotion the following year. | |

Gamechanger might not leave. But that's not to say the actual owners won't. |  |
