Must admit I haven't seen any football above League One this season. Fast forward through!

I think we have a better team than relegation, but with teams like Burney spending 6 million on players would we be any higher than mid table?

Well, look at last years promoted teams: Bristol, MK Dons, Preston. All are having a hard time in the bottom half of the division. I would expect we would struggle too.

IF we get promoted I would be happy to survive the first year and keep TM. Consolidate and build on the money from tv and the championship which hopefully sisu would invest in the team as surely staying in the championship is worth the investement

Haven't teams like Southampton got back to back promotions to premier league? Why couldn't we?

Southampton beat us 4-0 in our last game of the championship To go up and haven't been in a relegation battle in the prem.

Yes more than likely be hard and we would struggle but bottom half of the championship isn't that strong.

Southampton's wage bill in that championship season was the 2nd largest (£29m) in the league behind west ham - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6MoLGOkve5Y/UfonBSMZ6PI/AAAAAAAAGz8/9SLrvNkvq0I/s1600/Chp+Wages+1.jpg . They spent a hell of a lot on wages and transfers, we haven't got that kind of spending power, so it is very very very unlikely to happen to us as our wage bill is likely to be one of the lowest 2-3 in the league.

Let's keep our feet on the ground and concentration getting out of league one first.
