Forget the Premier League. We still top the 'years since a top 6 finish' even if you take out 30 years. Is this not an issue for you? That CCFC have fallen 2 divisions and yet still can't produce a winning team?
We thought falling into the Championship we'd do something. We never.
We thought even falling into League 1 we'd do something. We never/haven't yet.
Who do you blame Grendel?
The problem was we didn't bounce back quickly.
For that the blame lies on the shoulders of mcginnity

It was Richardson that caused our downfall. It was even him that sold our home without having a replacement.

Did he get us demoted from the championship then?
Funny I thought you blamed Thorn for that.
30 years in the top flight but that's not the point - well it actually is the point.
You really are a tit grendel
I also think the collapse of itv digital in our first year in the championship didnt helpIt was Richardson that caused our downfall. It was even him that sold our home without having a replacement.

Since we've fallen out of the Premier League, last 15 years:
No top 6 finish
1 top 10 finish
12 times finished in the bottom half
3 times finished in the top half
Average league position: 19th

So the only way is up. Hopefully this season will give at least our 4th top half finish and possibly our first top 6

We have been junk haven't we. When it's put into stats like that it's pretty shocking. Still West Brom or Stoke would give anything to have what we've had so it doesn't matter. Apparently
I've heard that the Monty Python team have added it to their show !If we do get a top six finish now, the downside is that we'll lose what's basically our only trivia claim to fame at the moment.
Basically people are moaning that we were a small club who rose through the divisions and then maintained our top flight status for so long? Oh how I wish we could have plummeted back down the leagues and then won promotion to league 1, it would have been so much better!!
No one is complaining about the Prem. However, we've been out of it for 15 years and finished in the top 10 once. This suggests that CCFC can't produce a winning team at any level and are only going to keep falling down the divisions if we have a higher chance of relegation than promotion every season.
You just keep mentioning the Prem because that's all your argument is. No one has complained about that. If you didn't realise we've been out of it for 15 years and our average position since then is 19th.

Then why do so many keep banging on about 45 years when it is irrelevant?
Surely they mean the last 15 years, in which our record has been poor.
I'd still go along with no top 6 finish for 45 years is rubbish in any league, even in the Prem.
I genuinely think we accept rubbish because it's the norm, we've never known a winning team, in my lifetime anyway and just accept 17th is good.
Like I've said before - you just have to look at the neutrals views to this record and they just laugh and ask why our fans keep going every year when we all know it's going to be another year of struggle.

Absolute crap. You offer any of those teams you've mentioned 34 consecutive seasons in the top flight and a cup win but tell them you will never finish inside the top 6, they would all snap your hand off.
I know they would. However, avoiding relegation is what you do when you first get promoted, no? Considilate for 2-3 seasons then move forward like Stoke, Swansea, Southampton have done.
I'm proud of our long record in the Prem but I think we could have done better and showed more ambition
What you mean we should have spent money we didn't have, therefore fucking ourselves up for the next 15 years if we were to get relegated?
What is everyone arguing about? 34 years in the top flight and an Cup win (considering the size of the club/resources, etc) is excellent.
15 years of struggle in Champ/L1 (considering the size of the club/resources, etc) is poor.
