Going to see Kasabian the night before the last ever match at HR and subsequently oversleeping, missing my train and therefore the last ever game at HR.
Devo'ed.
This is such a good point and something I've been thinking about recently.
Stability is so crucial but on top of that we've been lucky that not only have we had a generational manager, but we've followed it up with a replacement that's slotted right in and continued the upward trajectory...
I think the TV revenue is around £110m for the last placed team. You'll then have increased gate receipt revenue and likely bigger sponsorship deals. I'd estimate between £125-150m max.
If we got relegated straight away, we'd likely receive about £45-50m as a 1st year parachute payment.
Rushworth has to be the main signing this summer. I think there'll be other clubs interested in him now and I'm pretty confident he'll save us points next season.
After that, we need someone like Xhaka to come in.
Absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be winning this by 2 goals plus.
Confident we'll do so.
Doesn't matter if they're on a decent run - we should be still beating them.
There's absolutely no way their midfield is better than ours - Grimes, Onyeka, Rudoni, Torp, Eccles, Sakamoto, EMC...literally all of those would start in Boros midfield (obvs not all at the same time).
Hackney is good but he's not prime Xavi FFS. And by prime Xavi, I'm obviously referring to...
