Well if you could help us to get back to our favoured position under Nuno then this season it would be oh oh seven.The names Bond, Norman Bond…

Burnley still got a game against Sheff U, so we already can't finish bottom!Just about time to resurrect thi s thread
2 teams can only get 42 and 2 more 46 so one win or one loss for the others brings mathematical certainty to the table
Thank **** for that, I've been ****ting myself for weeks!Just about time to resurrect thi s thread

ImodiumThank **** for that, I've been ****ting myself for weeks!
So its you that has been causing all this trouble for the water comanies.Thank **** for that, I've been ****ting myself for weeks!
True but we still cant name a team that mathematically cant catch us can we lolBurnley still got a game against Sheff U, so we already can't finish bottom!
Sheff Utd quickly to follow.Burnley
Luton shortly afterSheff Utd quickly to follow.
Yep could be mathematically safe by Sat evening.Luton shortly after
Still not sleeping well!Wim nearly safe!!
So….I think we can only be relegated by goal difference now….for that to happen.
Luton must win all 6 games - takes them to 43 points.
Forest must win all 6 games - takes them to 43 points.
In winning those 12 games Luton will have beaten Everton and Brentford and Forest will have beaten Everton.
This means that Everton and Brentford can only reach 44 points if they win their remaining 5 games each.
….but…..Everton and Brentford have to play each other. If either win then the loser would drop to 41 points. So if they draw then both can reach 42 points - and if we lose our remaining games then it would go down to goal difference!
So, to go down we’d need 25 results as follows…
- Luton to win 6 games (including against Brentford, Everton and Wolves)
- Forest to win 6 games (including against Everton and Wolves)
- Brentford to win remaining 4 and draw vs Everton
- Everton to win remaining 4 and draw vs Brentford
- Wolves to lose remaining 4 games (in addition to Luton and Forest above).
The above assumes no further points deduction for Everton (or were already safe) and no successful appeal from Everton or Forest from points deduction.

Brilliant, Norman!!!!!One of my all time favourite characters in any comedy was Sir Humphrey Appleby from Yes Minster. Before going off into some superb but incomprehensible description of how the Civil Service / Government worked he would often say " It's very simple Minister ! " Your superb theory that must have taken a good while to work out immediately reminded me of Sir Humphrey
Now safe from relegation (st points appeal)So….I think we can only be relegated by goal difference now….for that to happen.

No - that has letters not numbers….do you do the times crossword
Brentford?——————-
15 Brentford
16 Everton

18 Luton
19 Burnley
20 Sheff Utd
Sorry, it’s based on current in play score!Brentford?
Thx for doing this……( truth is, I was too lazy to it myself.).Lowest we can finish is 14th, great achievement considering the situation before the season
£9.3m ahead of schedule (minimum), presumably there are bonuses which will eat into that amount but feels like £6-7m gain vs expected. Covers buying Doyle.Every place better than 17th should go straight to GON’s transfer fund
Reading quickly, I thought who on earth is this Jan. Hadn't seen him mentioned previously.£9.3m ahead of schedule (minimum), presumably there are bonuses which will eat into that amount but feels like £6-7m gain vs expected. Covers buying Doyle.
In reality who we sell (and when in window) will dictate the opportunity with the budget.
Still expecting 2 of the following 5 to go (no insight!).
Neto - £40m (plus add-ons)
RAN - £50m
Semedo - £15m
Gomes -£35m (plus add-ons)
Sa - £15m
Kilman - £35m
Plus fringe players
Guedes, Podence -£10m
And risk of a Cunha, Hwang, Lemina having heads turned.
Gut feel - bring in £100m and spend £60-70m possibly some money left for Jan and for stand (either Steve Bull or second temp stand) and to keep us in a positive position for future investment.
