A drop down to division two will result in basic payments x2 from football leauge in a loss of around £500k. Then you have the lost of ST incomes: sponsorship and overall attendances . You could be looking at around £1 million plus easily if we get relegated. The club would need to take everything into account in budgeting the expenditure on managers etc and lost of income if relegated. This game v shrews is massive . A win would see us go 8-9 points clear. A defeat would see us in dogfight. The question is can Taylor keep us up based on his record for almost a year ? If we win and go 8-9 pts clear surely that suggests he his capable of getting enough pts to keep up clear of the bottom 4? If we lose tomorrow you can't see how MT can stay in a job, but we're not the people making that decision. Exactly spot on. I take with a pinch of salt the expectations we are a top 8 outfit. I always said we are a 14-18th side . So if Taylor wins tomorrow he effectively saves his job for a month or so. A defeat would suggest the board would need to weigh up relegation ( losing at home to Shrews) and the losses v replacing another manager. What is more cost effective or what is better long term ?. |

How'd you work that out, by comparing a Tuesday to a Saturday game? Let’s make it a bit fairer, Cheltenham first game was 8.3k and the Wycombe home game on a Saturday was 7.8k. Id take a guess that Wycombe brought probably 400+ less than Cheltenham did too, but I could be wrong. What next, shall we compare Cheltenham to the pizza cup attendances? No doubt attendances are dropping a bit right now, but let’s not just make stuff up, eh? Last season since MT took over we averaged 8715, this season (excluding pizza cup) we are averaging 7759- nearly down 1k. Apologies I was out by 500. No, it was 8,175, so it’s 400 down so far. In fact, considering (ok only 5/6 games) that before Barton was gone our average crowds were 7,771. Based on that, his attendances this season are not only literally identical to last season, but he also increased last seasons attendances. So is it really the Taylor effect? |

Blimey, this is all a bit miserable! I’m looking forward to tomorrow, under lights at the Mem, chance to go up the league. I’d imagine there will be a good atmosphere with the opposition having several ex-players. Of course performances have been a bit inconsistent but win tomorrow and it will make it 3 league wins out of 4 not that I’m taking anything for granted. Reading this place atm I’d have thought we were anchored to the foot of the table, instead of having a chance to go higher after tomorrow. Sacking MT! People appear to love spending other people’s money. We’re already paying for JB+ and they want MT sacked so we can be paying for 3 lots of management teams! Absolute madness. In the end it will be the results that decide if MT stays or goes. Lower mid table and he’ll be ok, lower and he’ll be in danger. It’s easy to support us after the D/R and Scunthorpe matches and when we go up but harder when we have a run of bad results. But it’s those times when the manager, players, club need the support more than ever instead of the continual moaning we seem to have at the moment. Anyway, I’m looking forward to tomorrow night and hopefully 3 points. COYB! UTG! A drop down to division two will result in basic payments x2 from football leauge in a loss of around £500k. Then you have the lost of ST incomes: sponsorship and overall attendances . You could be looking at around £1 million plus easily if we get relegated. The club would need to take everything into account in budgeting the expenditure on managers etc and lost of income if relegated. This game v shrews is massive . A win would see us go 8-9 points clear. A defeat would see us in dogfight. The question is can Taylor keep us up based on his record for almost a year ? I’m sure you’ve got your figures correct. And I think we’re more or less saying the same thing. I just think all this noise must be hard for any manager and something he doesnt need at the moment. Results will determine his future because the owners haven’t done what they’ve done to be relegated. If he wins enough to stay mid table then he’ll survive, if not he’ll go. So we’d better get behind the team tomorrow night and make sure we win.👍 UTG! |

Not sure we've had that many attractive matches at the Mem this season, we only seem to have played poorly supporter clubs? Although that's probably just as well or we'd have lost more home games! |

Never thought I'd see those two in the same sentence. Absolutely hilarious. Well done. He was an idiot and a fool to himself but working for free at a rough point of the season, walking over to Acknowledge the fans despite being called all sorts of names is more than Taylor would have done. If he was paid off now to walk I truly believe he would take it. Is that one of them gaschat 'facts'? |

The City fans who I work with, all want Taylor to stay. To be fair, I feel the same about Manning. |

Plenty of interviews of Barton where he has taken full blame for team selection or wrong tactics. Taylor, it’s how amazing the opposition is before the ball has been kicked, the players are not match fit, too young, lack experience bla bla bla! Yet in the summer he was delighted with how the transfer window went. |
