The away game at Everton when they had to get a result to survive and we were sitting in mid table was pretty surreal viewing
I remember the relegation battles season after season when we were in the top flight. Didn't ever consider wanting to be in a lower division so we could win more games. But it felt great when we beat one if the top sides.
I remember one season where we were safe with weeks to go. It was an anti climax. It felt so strange.
I actually don't like fish
I seem to remember similar things being said when we came out of League 2, not done that bad have we.
Agree it might be a couple of seasons of consolidation. But look at the journeys of Bournemouth, Brighton etc it's a fact for us to get back to the premiership which has to be the aim, we need to get back into the championship first.Just speaking to a friend of mine who lives near and supports Luton Town. He was surprisingly downcast - "we keeping losing week in week out and its depressing" - "I wish we were back in League One as every game was enjoyable, beating teams and living life at the top end all season"
If we went up would we end up living life at the bottom of The Championship?
If we did how would we feel I wonder?
Personally I would love to see us challenge higher quality teams in The Championship but I must admit that I might miss playing teams off the park with free flowing football in League One.
My mate ending up saying "Be careful what you wish for!"
I put the phone down and thought............................miserable fucker!

Bournemouth wage bill in Championship was £28m - it was no fluke and certainly not the way we’ll be doing itAgree it might be a couple of seasons of consolidation.

Wonder where that would come from - Sisu?

Our wage bill is believed to be around £3m isn’t it?
Championship average wage bill is £35 mill this year
Preston are/were paying £15m and Sheffield United £19m - I’m not sure we’ll be able to follow their blueprints
Was that a gamble or investmentBournemouth spent millions. They spent £36,000 a week on a loan player in their promotion season for the last 6 weeks to sit on the bench
Was that a gamble or investment
Not debating that Brighton and Bournemouth both spent money to take the step from Championship to Premier league. But unless we want to be a league 1 club for generations to come we need to get back to the Championship. It will be tougher, but not impossible to go up and develop a platform to look up from. Many want SISU gone, we will be a more attractive proposition to a rich investor if we went up.Bournemouth wage bill in Championship was £28m - it was no fluke and certainly not the way we’ll be doing it
AggressiveFuck off
Says the guy who spent all day saying how much money Robins has spentYes let’s take gambles spending money we don’t have - that’s gone so well for us before

A little bit surprised that some seem to making a case that progress, which in football is measured by being upwardly mobile could be a negative.

No shit, sherlock- did you think there was a way to miss out the Chanpionship?
Try harder.Fuck, this thread is testing...but I’ve been working on being less condescending.
(Condescending means talking down to people).
Next month is massive in the league.
Portsmouth
Wycombe
Rotherham
All at home on Tuesday night. We need to be looking at 6 points minimum from these teams.

Generally if you don’t improve the squad you are going back down, Luton, Rotherham, Barnsley etc haven’t invested significantly and they yo yo back and forth.
I must admit the championship era was depressing as we never competed and was a matter of time we went down with the lack of investment, similar to Ipswich who sat in that league for years doing nothing. Constant mid table positions isn’t existing in the league either.
we would need to add some real quality to the side to stay up initially but if we don’t strive for protection then there is no point!
Hilarious, just hilariousWho do we need to strive for protection from?
Are you all on some kind of medication or something?
I had a mate once who said his missus offered him a threesome and he turned it down because “I’m not sure I could fulfil two women”.
This is a very similar situation. Regardless of whether you think you can manage it, you give it a go.
I hope you lynched him.
NO thank you, it was grim every week. Just the odd win. The goal has to be challenging for the Play Offs in the Championship, but never actually making it to the Prem. It is fun expecting to win every week whoever the opposition and it is crap living off morsels. Only if we were fortunate enough to find an owner like that of Leicester, Bournemouth or Wolves - one prepared to finance a big P & L loss - would that change.Nah give me the late 90s and finishing 15th and 16th in the premier league over now any day of the week
Not sure about that. The novelty factor would create an initial bounce but if we were getting tonked every week I think the novelty would wear off.
Yeah but the odd win felt great. I don’t see how hoping to finish 7th in the second tier is an aspiration.NO thank you, it was grim every week. Just the odd win.
