Didn’t seem the worst team to me when we played them and yet look like they’re on a bad run. The new Carlisle investors will no doubt throw some money at them in January and I can’t see Reading being relegated .. a season where club and owner both go down?

New Manager bounce.
It will happen again when we face Burton on 26th.

Pity it didn’t happen when McCarthy was appointed.

Next 4 games they face Posh, Pompey and Bolton.
Can they do us a favour!

It was their cup final so they stepped up.

Bit like City in the old days used to give United a tough game at Maine Road, whilst fighting relegation. Everton too until recent seasons.

They’re doomed. Plus with the whole Pilley saga I don’t think it’ll be long before they down in the Conference again. Shame for the town, but they’ve never really backed the club in the way Pilley wanted.

I'll send Pilley a cake with a file in it if they do!!

No.

Anyone else find the whole Fleetwood set up weird with all these foreign clubs they have invested in - is it one big tax dodge?

There could be no suspicion of dodgy dealings there, not with an upstanding paragon of the community in charge....oh.

LOL! Anyone who can find loopholes in selling electricity can clearly find them in the fraudulent world of football!

Are BES still trading? My understanding was that it was money from BES that propped up the football club

Personally i think Fleetwood are a busted flush. I absolutely sure that the ownership and fansbase wouldnt want to see them drop into League Two . But lee Johnson plainly isnt getting a tune out of his players. He talked last week about players who dodnt fit into the group . And they would be moved on. Well maybe the players cant stand Johhson.. not say they have downed tools but they are shipping an awful lot of goals. Peterborough will take them apart. I dont see any way for Fleetwood escaping the drop. They have never been more than a couple of points away.

If we have a 'Derby' game next season, I'd like to think it's not Fleetwood.

If we have a 'Derby' game next season,

We won't have for 2 reasons :-
1.) We won't get relegated to League 2
2.) AFC Fylde won't get promoted to League 2

 

[PNENIL]

They sacked Scott Brown too early and Pilley is way too trigger happy. He deserved a bit more of a chance to get it right after last season. Now they are stuck because Johnson is not working out but to get rid of him without giving him a transfer window would be a bit stupid and cost them more money. Maybe there are 4 worse teams than them and that will save them.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

The quicker they get back to non-league the better. I wonder if they will still sing anti-Blackpool fans when they are mid-table in the conference.

 

[NewburyOne]

Brown had more about him than Johnson. Smells a lot like relegation to me. They're now stuck with giving Johnson what funds they have in January or roll the dice again.

We'll be playing the Nobbers when they fook up their play off ambitions and Dingles when they get relegated from the PL in the Championship.

Conference North club who bought their way into the Football League simple as.

They were lower than that when Pilley bought the club.
North West Counties.
National League will be their level

Yes, offices are still at Highbury, then there's the sister company, card saver which is in Bispham

Cod Saver?

 

[seasidescout]

Wonder what will happen to Poolfoot when they drop into conference and academy closes.

Indeed, the third incarnation of Fleetwood was only established in 1997 as Fleetwood Wanderers, playing in the NW Counties Division Two. Their derbies that season were Blackpool Mechanics and Squires Gate.
