It was the Premiership for all the years we were in it. We were the first team ever to go top in the Premiership. It will always be the Premiership until we return there. Could be a long time though.

When was your club last in the Premiership?

It's really not a high quality league imo, look at what Leyton Orient/Rotherham did last year. That wasn't just a run of form like Yeovil, Tranmere did last season. They smashed it for the majority of the season.

Yeah Tranmere really smashed it into League two...

I think it's expect the shit surrounding CCFC to get worse, not love. I dont think you can blame anyone for that given how backwards things have gone over the last 7 years under the current owners and all the years before.

We won't get the players we need in for £1m. You'd barely replace Wilson.

What are you on about, I never said they smashed it anywhere. I was referring to their fluky run the season before where they led the table until January/February time.

The quality of this league is poor, Rotherham and Leyton Orient proved it. It's the same every season, 85% of teams in this division are poor with 3/4 decent teams every season. You don't need to invest heavily to be successful in this league.

Yeovil managed promotion on a much lower wage budget than ours.

This just shows, that the right manager, with the right players can achieve anything. Especially with a good board behind them.

Very true, however research does show that wage bill determines final position 90% of the time.
