of course not but I never said that was always the case I was trying to continue the optimism For our team , hey ho never mind we might get a chance of going up
Teams occasionally buck the trend, but it isn’t really disputable that more money = higher league finish. Is it?
So what happened last season when we finished top with a mid league budget or did I imagine it ?
I do agee with the basic premise of your post, but for fucksake let us dream.Some of you lot have absolutely zero idea about how difficult the championship is going to be 21st would be a massive achievement. The last team to win the league and finish mid table in the championship were Blackburn who had a wage budget 4 times our entire turnover.
Dream all you want. My dream is to stay in the league for more than one season and build. Dreaming that we’ll trouble the playoffs is absolute delusion. Our best player last year couldn’t make it into the squad of a mid table side.I do agee with the basic premise of your post, but for fucksake let us dream.
In all seriousness we will probably struggle next season, and staying up would be a massive achievement. But I’m not prepared to rule out a surprise season from us. We play some damn good football, it would take a huge effort from all at the club, but they have shown us that they are better than pretty much every Cov team I’ve watched over the last 10 years.
I’m not saying we’ll win the league, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we did better than the obvious ‘instant relegation’. I feel we have momentum, and that might well be enough to keep us comfortably up. Let’s hope I’m right.
I am fully aware that the stats aren’t in our favour. Staying in the league would be amazing. Can still dream of more though. Chin up.Dream all you want.

So that amazing flop paul pogba is on YTS wages then .... nonsense yourself
I just don’t want people thinking of upper middle table and going ape shit at our management team when we’re scraping points which we know full well will happen.I am fully aware that the stats aren’t in our favour. Staying in the league would be amazing. Can still dream of more though. Chin up.

Raw if we finish top half.Might as well choose now.
U want oil based or water based for your hindsight fisting m8 ?

Fully agree and anyone that starts asking for taxis when we lose to villa can fuck off. I don’t care if we finish bottom of the league (well, obviously I would to some extent), Robins is the man for us and even if we go straight back down I’d still say that. People will moan every time we lose (or draw), that’s fans. Still think we are capable of surprising some.I just don’t want people thinking of upper middle table and going ape shit at our management team when we’re scraping points which we know full well will happen.
You were going on about us being in the top 6 of the Championship.its all about economy of scale ,the L1 top 6 is hard if you have just come up from league 2 by the mere fact you have been playing a league lower .
As for Champ yes it’s obviously a gulf between L1 , but with the right squad and attitude there is no reason to think we could not hold our own , it the same step up from league to league . We have nothing to fear, at present
Sorry...how is that an example of economies of scale?its all about economy of scale ,the L1 top 6 is hard if you have just come up from league 2 by the mere fact you have been playing a league lower .

Anything other than relegation in the first season is as big an achievement as being promoted from L1
I think people have underestimated how tough the championship will be
The last time we were promoted as champions was in 1967 and we finished 20th out of 22 in the following season in Division 1. Fortunately only 2 teams were relegated in those days.When was the last time we were promoted as Champions erm er ow , not in my 51 years lifetime we will walk through the Championship !
Well, our manager resigned before the start of that season, and our captain broke his leg in the second game. Not the best of starts.The last time we were promoted as champions was in 1967 and we finished 20th out of 22 in the following season in Division 1. Fortunately only 2 teams were relegated in those days.
Easy top 8 if we play back at the Ricoh and plenty of investment in the pitch – Relegation beckons back to league 1 if we stay at St AndrewsWhere are you all predicting for us to finish next year? After watching some of the games this afternoon I really would be pleased with 4th from bottom. We are a good side, but better than a large amount of teams in the league? I’m not sure.
Playing at St Andrews didn’t seem to hamper us too much this season?Easy top 8 if we play back at the Ricoh and plenty of investment in the pitch – Relegation beckons back to league 1 if we stay at St Andrews
