Holtern8 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The worst is over? We face life in the irrelevant 2nd tier of English football. Not to to be too morbid but many fans won't see us play in the top flight again due to their age and the fact they'll be dead once we come back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those you say won't see us play in the top flight again cause they are old also got to see most of our glory years. There are some fans in their mid-20's that weren't old enough to experience us winning the League Cup twice, were barely old enough to appreciate how special the Europa League was. Many fans who existed between 1995 and present have only seen average from this club. At least those that are at the end of their life cycle got to see several League wins and a Champions League win. If you're almost 30 great you got to see two League Cup wins in your existence, but if you are under 23 you ain't experienced anything of worth, those are the guys I feel for to be honest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) 2 hours ago, Daweii said: The issue is staying up. The longer we stay down the more the teams in the Premier League get ahead of us. I mean 20th place next season gets £99 million which is pretty much what the winner of the League would have gotten a year or two ago, you only have to be in the league a few seasons to be spending Top 4 level money as a shit tier team. So the longer we spend out of the league the harder it will be to topple whoever is the 17th best team not without some very very crafty ways around FFP. So yeah the long term plan may include contingencies in case we don't come right back up, but the plan will be promotion next-season. This won't happen. There has been a huge income disparity between Premier League and Championship for years. Yet all three promoted teams going straight back down hasn't happened for years, if at all. The gap was massive this season too, yet only one promoted team went down. EDIT: missing 'one' Edited May 15, 2016 by HanoiVillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad someone said what I wanted to hear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 WM said that we won't hear anything for at least a month as they haven't even announced a period of exclusivity yet - and that takes at least a month. They were painting a really grim picture - but that's normal with WM I guess. I hope that's not right though as I am hoping for good news this week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have meant that 'fun' is some form of currency or holds a value in their world. With that in mind, they are bold enough to bet someone else's fun at a party.

There doesn't NEED to be an exclusivity period in every sale. If the buyers have all their financing and legal ready etc then there is no point.
