It's the same rules for everyone. The idea was to stop clubs from going under when they get relegated with a massive wage bill from being in the Prem and not being able to pay the wage bill.They got relegated and were give parachute money to get back up, relegated again shouldn’t mean more parachute money ! Its like they are being funded by EPL !
Definitely 1 more season as much as I would like us to get promoted, we would get annihilated with our defence and the miss firing, not ready, strikers..Frank needs some very astute acquisitions for us to stand a chance of survival..We are not exactly battering teams in the championship atm so that needs some investment firstIt isn't as easy as just spending money. The higher up the pyramid you go the more worthless spending money is. You need more than just better players that got you promotion.
I would fancy our chances of giving it a good go. We have a manager who was one of the best players the Prem has ever seen and has improved the way we play no end. We have a few players that could make the big step up. Lampard has contacts in the game that could help. We could make the CBS a fortress. But whatever happens it wouldn't be easy.
I know promotion this season would be great but one more season at this level would probably be better.

Some of us will be realistic. Many of us won't be. Many have never seen us play top flight football. It was bad enough last time and there wasn't th massive amount of money back then.Every promoted fan ever…

I'd just want us to compete in some way and not get hammered each week.
I’d have thought there were contract clauses for relegation and higher salaries. The only parachute payments that should be permitted in my opinion is to support temporarily the non playing staff that inevitably get made redundant from exiting the Premier League. Championship football with all teams on the same financial rules would make the league even better and allow more clubs the chance at PL football.It's the same rules for everyone.

We have spent years moaning about the parachute payments but as soon as we get promoted it will be seen as a good thing. It will be seen as a way of becoming a lower end Prem club with a bit of luck.
At least they’ve scored more than Lesta strikersDefinitely 1 more season as much as I would like us to get promoted, we would get annihilated with our defence and the miss firing, not ready, strikers..Frank needs some very astute acquisitions for us to stand a chance of survival..We are not exactly battering teams in the championship atm so that needs some investment first
We have vastly improved under Lampard. This is without a squad he has shaped. I'm sure we will be stronger next season than this one. Of course I would take promotion this season otherwise why even bother playing.I simply do not get how people would rather 'give it another year', it makes zero sense. Promotion from this league is difficult, if the opportunity is there, you take it. The default position is that we will be stronger next season, but who says we will? I expect sales in the summer. The club operates at a hefty loss, so we'll need money to reinvest, who says we get the ins and outs right? We may well be in the same position at this stage next season, fighting for 5th or 6th, will we not be ready then either?
If you win promotion, you are, by default, ready. The team that would start next season would be very different to the one that finishes this one. You recruit big. That can go well or it doesn't, we have no idea. But, you seize any chance at promotion you get.
Hopefully we are passing them on the way upMaybe a crap season but for the benefit of the Club, ££££££’s in and chance to sort out the ownership of the ground, some decent players, and get on a sound base for the future. Also a chance to enjoy seeing top class players at the CBS, and we know we’d be getting stuffed some weeks, but I’m relaxed about that too.
It’ll be an experience my lad has never had before
Don't forget with the teams yo-yoing, the money they would have been given gets split between PL teams instead so the gulf just gets wider & wider.I’d have thought there were contract clauses for relegation and higher salaries.

The point is that regardless of when we go up it’ll be a long, hard season.If we go up this season all I can see is a long, hard season coming.
Should be divided amongst the other EFL teams, inc. L1 and 2Don't forget with the teams yo-yoing, the money they would have been given gets split between PL teams instead so the gulf just gets wider & wider.
Leicester & Southampton straight backup = £102m just gifted to Premier League clubs.
If Burnley & Sheffield United go up this year, that's another £102m.
Think what could happen if that money actually filtered down to the EFL instead.
He took over no hopers in fairnessNistelrooy doesn't seem to have a clue either, which makes me happy we ended up with Lamps and not him.
If they’d stuck with Cooper they’d have probably stayed up.He took over no hopers in fairness
If they’d stuck with Cooper they’d have probably stayed up.
That is pure fan conjecture. It's like saying if we had kept Robins we could have still made the play offs. Mathematically yes, but we will never know. What, ifs and buts stand for nothing in the real world.If they’d stuck with Cooper they’d have probably stayed up.
Hobo, put your slide rule away - This is a leper city slating thread.That is pure fan conjecture. It's like saying if we had kept Robins we could have still made the play offs. Mathematically yes, but we will never know. What, ifs and buts stand for nothing in the real world.
Well, it’s undeniable that RvN made them a hell of a lot worse.That is pure fan conjecture. It's like saying if we had kept Robins we could have still made the play offs. Mathematically yes, but we will never know. What, ifs and buts stand for nothing in the real world.

Think he might sellI would imagine it would be much easier for Doug to find an investor if we can get promotion ?
FactsIf they’d stuck with Cooper they’d have probably stayed up.
Stop putting a downer on things. This is one time when facts can get in the bin.His PPG was 0.83 at the point of being sacked so based on that they'd have been relegated even with him in charge, albeit still alive at this point.
It would have been better for them to still retain hope at this stage but be relegated anyway imoStop putting a downer on things. This is one time when facts can get in the bin.
