Wimbledon had less than zero cash and were still basically a non-league setup. Blackpool managed the rare achievement of having worse owners than us, yet despite that got promoted.
They were a non league team less than 10 years before. That was unprecedented post-war, and unlike Wigan when they followed them a couple of decades later, they weren't bankrolled.
£11 million really is millions!Huddersfield £11m:
About right from you.Nonsense.
Yep but things change and it was in response to covering expenses to competeAnyone remember Fisher publically stating we couldnt afford to be in the championship ?
Who’s playing Mark Robins?

Doesn't really matter to be honest , we would have gone from league 2 to the Premier league spending probably less than 5 or 6 million in transfer fees .
Sheffield United or Huddersfield never did that
Far greater achievement
Shall I repeat myself?? Really don't think there s any need.
Wimbledon was back when football was football though. So you’ve got to account for that. Before the Premier League fucked everything up for lower league clubs.
Both great achievements, don’t get me wrong, but I think if we went up this season (again: we won’t) then just the pace of our rise considering the cash spent and the increase in the gap to the top in the last decade would make it bigger.
Much bigger. But for whatever reason some people will never accept that what Robins has done is exceptional, no matter what he does
in league two Huddersfield started a season with 4 senior players and a youth team. In a decade they got to the premiership
And if Robins did somehow manage to get us up he’d have done it in 5
He also had the luxury of being able to finish in a top 7 to get promoted first time round. Comparisons to Wimbledon are dumb as.
Seriously are you genuinely saying if Robins got us up you wouldn’t think it was a huge achievementHe also had the luxury of being able to finish in a top 7 to get promoted first time round. Comparisons to Wimbledon are dumb as.
You just said Huddersfield?
Anyway no matter, he’s doing an exceptional job, anyone can see that.
We finished 5thHe also had the luxury of being able to finish in a top 7 to get promoted first time round. Comparisons to Wimbledon are dumb as.
We finished 5th
I remember me and my mate leaving the ground after we'd beaten Stockport away 3-0, our first game since being relegated from the Prem, and thinking "we'll piss this league and be back up next year."
Twenty years later....
I certainly don't think we'll be going up this year, but we are closer than we have ever been in twenty years.
Agree Wimbledon is a great example. They were literally the crazy gang from management to players.They were a non league team less than 10 years before. That was unprecedented post-war, and unlike Wigan when they followed them a couple of decades later, they weren't bankrolled.
6th wasn’t it?
Your point stands anyway
And they didn't have to do it playing all of their home matches away from their home.He also had the luxury of being able to finish in a top 7 to get promoted first time round. Comparisons to Wimbledon are dumb as.
It was level on points with Lincoln who were seventh6th wasn’t it?
Your point stands anyway
It was level on points with Lincoln who were seventh
6th doesn't matter anyway , would still be better than Huddersfield and Blackpool tooWe finished 5th
Don't forget Biamou's goals didn't count, so we only won 2-1 in the second leg of the play off semi final.It was 6th on GD, the points doesn't really matter mate
