👍🏻The players know full well that most of them will still be here next year on good money. Lack of the basic skills is no barrier to continuing playing for North End and they are well aware that the Club can't afford to replace either them, the clueless manager or the equally poor training staff.
They have no need to be concerned about their futures at all. Don't be surprised to see Woodburn, Evans and most of the squad back for next season. Only Millar, Brown, Bauer and maybe a couple of others may be gone with a very small number of Division One second rate journeymen arriving. Badges and the Riddler will still be spouting the same crap we hear every week. Our Fantastic optimistic Fan Base will still be buying season tickets and enjoying mid/lower table obscurity.
Is there no escape from this time warp?
Matchday Thread QPR v PNE - 20/04/24 - KO:5.15pm - Championship
Never thought of that. Pesky Bournemouth fansYou wouldn't be able to get near Deepdale on match day if we went up. Preston is packed full of replica shirt wearers who would be there week in week out to watch their hero's beat their home town club!
Few thoughts.
I’m convinced our capitulation and helping other teams out at the lower end of the division must be somehow written into contracts
Also a stipulation that end of season promotion parties must always be held at Deepdale and we have to supply the fireworks.

The last few seasons have ended the same way , we secure safety with 6 or 7 games to go and then capitulate...... Flip flops on, I am getting sick of it !!!

Played okay until about the 15th minute then spiralled into an absolute shit show again.
I was talking about PNE in the week saying we've had a season of quarters. We had a fantastic start and then tailed off until around the Leeds home game at Christmas. We then picked up again and we are now absolutely shite again....and can't see us getting another point this season. It's a bloody good job we picked up those points early doors!
Wonder if PR, CH and Ms Revitt trust him with the budget this Summer....lm not sure l would.

I totally agree @ernest but if it were my money I wouldn’t be allowing Ryan Lowe & Peter Ridsdale to spend it.Today's result may not be such a bad thing if it makes the club realise substantial investment is necessary and they actually act on that.

Replaced by who?He has to go......
Anyone who won’t dance to the Riddlers tune.Replaced by who?
Left at half time. Yet again, the football on show is the worst part of the day by far
Who is going to provide this substantial investment?Today's result may not be such a bad thing if it makes the club realise substantial investment is necessary and they actually act on that.

We have investment. We don't have a clue how to spend it effectively.
Think he’s had a decent season. We definitely need to strengthen at the back thoughLindsay to go. HMS needs decommissioning.

I hope we can sell Riis for some decent cash in the Summer to add to whatever the board sanction.We have investment. We don't have a clue how to spend it effectively.
Ridsdale explicitly said a few months ago that we’d have a “few” million back in the budget for next season.
You’re right though, it’s all about spending it wisely.
