Mid table we competed with Birmingham with ease and should have won both legs, with a few improvements I think mid table would be a good 1st season back, don't want to nevers and pressure of a relegation battle.

There’s a difference with sustaining it in the league to one off cup games. Worcester bettered us a few years back. They’d have had no chance of finishing above us in the league

Very true was at the game was a embarassment. I think with a good investment we will easily be midtable.

If the sensible thing happens and we are back at the Ricoh then we have a really good chance of survival. Anything above that is a right bonus.

Both businesses lost money last season it would be remiss of them to do so next season. Think both will play hardball though. Funnily enough businesses agree mutually beneficial agreements in spite of no end of disputes etc. There’s a deal to be done and lots of money for both parties to make

Will the fact that there will likely be no gate receipts for all clubs be a bit of a leveller in terms of budgets?

I think people are massively overestimating the impact of gate receipts on the playing budget.

If we get 20,000 fans a season and it averages around 20 quid a ticket (including season tickets) that's 400k in turnover.

Average losses are around 20m-30m a year in the championship. LOSSES. That's after the 6m or whatever it is expected TV revenues.

Gate receipts are a drop in the ocean.

Until you multiply the 400k by 23 and get £10m

Would be very happy with anything above 21st. Stay in the division and give ourselves something to build on.

So much depends on summer signings, but I would back Robins based on previous seasons to recruit well. 17th-14th is achievable and would be further progress for the club.

bottom half, but above drop zone.

We will give it a good go.

Build a stable squad in the championship for 3 years, have a huge push in year 4 in time for us to move to our new stadium in our return to premier league year

Play offs. Few quality signings, great team spirit in the squad, coupled with most teams needing to trim squads and face point deductions, could be the perfect storm.

Ever the optimist, my feeling is that somewhere just outside the top 10 is where we'll end the season.

Provocative point, but was talking to my Dad last night and we both agreed that promotion next season wouldn't be great for the club. We'd be destroyed in the premier league without time to develop a squad. That said i won't turn it down if we do get there haha.

It’s hard to gauge right now. If we’d have been able to continue playing, I think our momentum would’ve really carried on into next season but who knows what’s possible with this management team, the team spirit and a couple of quality additions. We surprised many this year, we may do the same next season. Mid table upwards would be remarkable but there are a lot of factors still to consider; home ground, keeping the squad together, whether we are able to add a few clever loans and free transfers etc. The next couple of months will be interesting that’s for sure. It’ll be so devastating if we aren’t there to witness in person though. Let’s hope this virus pisses of sooner rather than later.

promotion would be amazing for the club. with sensible spending, would set us up for years. The income dwarfs any revenues from match day beers and non match day functions

First read that and had images of Oompah-Loompah type creatures in pinstripe suits obsessed with money rather than chocolate. Or the Gringotts goblins from Harry Potter.

For any promoted team in the history of competitive football the aim is to avoid relegation. Once you have achieved that you try and kick on.....

Agreed. Look at how Luton have faired, after a previous season where they , at times, ran away with League 1.
The step from league 1 to Championship is huge. If Robins keeps us up it will be a big achievement. We need to keep faith with him in what could be a hard season.

The one thing I am absolutely dreading is the helmets on here who will inevitably call for Robins to go if we have a shaky start. If after 10 games were in the bottom 3 you know it’s coming.

interesting, most on here, so far have more or less intimated that staying in the league would be a base to make further progress the following season but we know the reality is that we will lose a substantial number of games and the support for robins will waver. it really should not waver. just think back to how hopeless we were pre robins.

Didn’t spend as much as Wolves and Bournemouth but they were splashing the cash even in League One. I think Fleck went there and trebled his wages
