Club seems to be in very good shape, I would like a top coach and a top SH but other than that I would not change too much. We are developing good young players, we have excellent attendances (3rd best), we have an A license and despite all the moaning we are joint 5th and 4 points off 1st place.

Pretty good summary. Stand by to be called a blinkered idiot.

Amen brother!

We are in far, far better position on and off the field since 10 years ago.

We are far better off the field than 5 years ago.

We have gone backwards on the field in the last 2 years.

Slight changes are needed to get us challenging again IMO.

As a business we are doing very well - if our business was making pork pies we would be the best in the world as we produce the same old cra1p week after week and we make money - but we are in a different business than that its called sport and entertainment.

On the business side of things you have to congratulate the club on the playing side of things we are boring and predictable - yes I have seen the bad times and its not enjoyable but we where broke as a club and we spent as much as we could afford and at least tried to make things better.

We al know what we need but they cost money (proper coach and good half backs ) yes we have an A class licence which will soon be a B class licence unless we improve on the pitch

How many points out of 10 is grade A ????

If it is 9 or above, we will probably lose our grade A in 18 months time when we lose a point for not having an average finishing spot of minimum 8th.

11th last year = 8th this year would mean minimum top 5 next year or lose a point.

pressed = instead of +

11th last year + even 8th this year would leave us needing minimum 5th to keep the point.

Would 8/10 still leave us with an A license ???

Yes, but 8 is the lowest score that gets an A and tbh I don't think we need to worry. We have to avarage 6th for this year and next and I think we are easily good enough to do that.

Last year doesn't count, the franchise system starts from this season IIRC

I think you are all missing the point - we have an A licence

but our style of play warrents an F

all the time we have 37 average brits in the squad we are doing ok and we can tick a box - our club is like the government we dont perform but we are great at ticking boxes

I totally agree which is why I was asking about the points scoring because if we were to lose that point (which I think we will) and ultimately lose the precious A license, maybe it would mean our board being forced to improve what we have on the field instead of just worrying about what goes on off it.
