So we wait for another 100 years or so then?!! Because that's probably just about what the odds are on achieving another Coppell miracle season, let alone two in succession.

you dont need a miracle season though.
you just need one good enough. and the odds on that are actually prettty decent- pretty much every year a team goes up who hadnt spent loads of cash on it, and surprise everyone through hard work, organisation, and good management. often they end up staying up too.

Why would a manager keep stating that he is happy with his current squad over and over again. He isn't getting the money.

No it wouldn't.
Selling Federici would free up some cash to bring in a much needed striker.

How many goal-saving out-standing saves has Federici made this season, how many bad goals has he conceded?
It would be STARTLING, totally amazing if Hamer or Andersen could step in and immediately manage the same.
If Feds has won us a lot of points (above and beyond what is expected of a decent, average keeper) then a new, very young keeper is going to almost certainly NOT save us those goals and points. That's not their fault, it's not a criticism, it's just how it goes when players are developing.
Let's say I pick, for now an arbitrary number of ten of these saves. It might be more. How many was it at Derby? 4? 5?
To compensate for that loss we need the strikers (plus a new one but only two can play) to SCORE as many.
Personally, I cannot see it. Without any disrespect whatever to Andersen and Co I believe we would be well below half-way had Federici not been between the sticks this season. To compensate for conceding an extra ten goals (possibly 15-20) we'd have had to score that amount. We have scored 37 goals. We would need to be top scorers in the league on 47-57 if our keeper was merely average.

super darren caskey I think feds is a brilliant keeper...thats all thank you

You could say that about every goalkeeper. Just because they make a few good saves that give us an extra 5 points. Hahnemann, Whitehead, Hislop etc.
Federici has cost us points as well. Andersen could step in.

Because we're on a decent run of form and if the manager says "I don't think our squad is good enough", which is implied if you talk too much about strengthening, it will harm morale.LoyalRoyalFanbrendywendy thats if you assume we arent getting a striker in anyway

LoyalRoyalFan I'd jump at the chance to trade in Federici for 1 or 2 new players.
