I've been saying this for weeks. Peds and the team have been doing surprisingly well but I couldn't last. Once the injuries and suspensions begin to affect the tiny squad's ability to compete and more results like Saturday's sap the player's morale, there is only one outcome. It should make the die hard season ticket holders think twice about renewing though.
I agree. How could it be any different if he is still here next season in L1. More senior players will be sold, let go or may walk away after not being paid. The club can't sign any replacements other than freebies nobody else wants or even offer new contracts to the accadamy lads, resulting in Wednesday fielding a team of U19/21s who will get mullered every other week destroying their confidence and maybe even wrecking their careers almost before they get started.
L2 will be just as bad after that because more embargos will follow, they always do with Chansiri in charge.
The team were showing a little bit of suprise form back then. By the time the Blades turn up i expect Wilder will have got them fired up again and Wednesday to have suffered a few more heavy defeats which will have demoralised quite a few diehards to the point of abject dispair. So it should'nt be too hard to convince them not to turn out and witness what could be a horrific humiliation.
Thank you everyone. But it wasn't unexpected, the old boy had been very ill for 8 years with advanced dementia and started having strokes a couple of years before the end. He lived to be 92 but he wouldn't have wanted those last 8. Even my Mother who had been married to him for 68 years said it was a blessed relief for everyone.
I just mentioned his passing because it's how I know that was definitely the last home game I attended.
The last home match i attended was against Bolton, a 1-1 draw 10th March 2018. I remember it so well because my old Dad died that same evening. They rang me up as I was travelling home after the match had finished.
Look on the bright side, it will be another weekend with no matchday income for him and the rearranged match will be midweek when he'll have to switch the floodlights all night. Drip, drip, drip, Bleed him dry.
Have Coventry sold all their allocation? If so the some potg tickets will have been bought by the away fans who couldn't get in the away end but sense an easy victory and fancy a good day out.
Getting games abandoned is the Neuclar option. All that will achieve is give the EFL the excuse they need to expel the club from it's leagues. Yes Chansiri loses the money he has put into the club but he is no longer putting money in every month to keep it afloat and he still has the ground he could redevelop since there is no football club left to use it anymore. Everyone, players and staff are immediately out of their jobs and the supporters have no club to support anymore, it's history will just that history.
A phoenix club might be formed next season in the Northern Counties (East) league playing at Tinsley or somewhere but many diehards won't want that.
