Championship 2017-18

Can we just concentrate on getting to the Championship before worrying about staying in it?

Thank The Lord....

Sanity.

Shhhh. don't mention the Championship. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Seriously we'd be daft not to discuss and plan for both the eventualities that the season could bring. Promotion or the status quo. No one's taking promotion as a given, but if/when it happens we need to have a plan in place. Promotion would have a bearing on players' contracts, size of away support, TV coverage etc.

BTW when we are in relegation trouble I don't recall hearing any calls not to mention that outcome.

It's a good job Tufty doesn't have Bladey Lockjaw. Together with his coaching staff, he's been preparing for the Chanpionship for quite a while now. Here's Alan Knill briefing him on his latest scouting mission...

We were and are making losses. This meant we no longer HAD to sell any players just to balance the books like in previous years.

That's right. We now do it for fun.

Billy might find it tougher going in the Championship. If we go up I wouldn't expect him to start every game. We may need at least one new striker.

Much of a new team, in fact.

We might be reaming a few arses in this division with this squad, but I certainly don't see it faring well against some of the stronger sides in the Championship.

Looking forward to our promotion and our as-promised investment package. Ten million might get us five or six decent, Championship players to assist with maintaining the Championship status with further additions in the 2018 JTW and beyond to challenge for the playoffs in subsequent seasons.

Three cheers for McCabe! Hip-hip ...

That's only two, you tight wad.

I'm reading about additional players and my thoughts are, "let's get another decent keeper signed up", let us not forget that our current bench contains calamity George!!!
We definitely need another keeper as backup now Ramsdale has moved on!!

Same.

Put Heff and me down for a couple of "I told you so"s this time next year.

I've watched many a championship game this season,and I reckon our current squad would compete rather well.
There's been a lack of quality in the championship this season,and probably the best teams I've seen have been huddersfield and Fulham,both play good attacking football simular to our own.
There's nowt to fear in that league.
