If the league tables were made up of club resources where would Cov be?
Forgetting the current playing staff and considering things like fan base, stadium and training facilities I suspect we are currently punching above our weight at the bottom end of the Championship.
Like many having grown up with it, I have always thought we should be a top flight club. Championship as a minimum.
But looking at it now, we have a very decent fan base, we don't own our ground but have use of a very nice stadium for the next 10 years, a training ground with two pitches but not a lot more and a productive Academy that rents facilities at a local sports centre.
When we were in the premier league we didn't invest in our infrastructure we just tried to survive.
I think of premiership bound Norwich as being a similar sort of club, a decent history and fan base but have made better decisions along the way.
Not digging our owners here, they didn't sell the ground, share of the Ricoh or even sell the Sky Blue Connection
I'd probably put us in league 1 mid-table, which makes me feel disappointed, but then we should be happy as we are overachieving?
