That is a funny thing to say.We have lost to lower league opposition in the cups and we cant beat teams like Fulham and Cardiff
so what makes you think we can finish above Wigan,Leeds,Forest etc etc ?!
Not really. We are a still a very big club and, with the right manager (clutches at straws), we should be one of the favourites to come back up.
Why do people always say that there is a huge gulf between the Championship and Premiership when clubs get promoted, but seemingly the same doesn't apply to PL teams who go down?
Personally I think there have been some odd factors this season that have contributed to our current position. Lambert and his "management team" have been woeful.
However, I agree though that without a good manager we would not come back up with the current squad.
