If you were offered second now ... (8 Viewers)

I hate to break it to you lads but this season is probably as good as it’s going to get as a city fan. Enjoy it while it lasts cos we’ll be getting pumped more than Bonnie Blue if we go up then we’ll be entitled parachute fans when we come down again.

Yep-some substance to that. Mate of mine regularly goes to Ipswich and says the journey is better than the destination in reality when gaining promotion from the Championship.
I guess we all just have to accept that if we do make it it will be the reality of a few 4-5 nil batterings.

I want to see the silver...I want the open top bus...I want it added to the list of titles we have won.

So no I wouldn't take 2nd now...even if ultimately we were to fail

This might make it easier to accept 2nd :-

According to Deloitte, promotion to the Premier League can see an increase in revenue of between £135 million and £265 million depending on if the team can avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

Nothing, nothing, and some extra TV / gate revenue for the latter.

Na surely not. They call the playoff final the richest game in football. Something like £90m for the winner I remember reading when we played Luton but what does that look like for 1st and 2nd? Do they get more or less.

It's based on earnings from playing in the Premier league, so it would be the same. It just rides on a single game rather than the position at the end of the season.
