If we had won the playoffs...

Only toast ?

and a glimpse perhaps

Three promotions to the premier league says the opposite

Three ?
If you mean 2019 & 2023 , it's two.

Maybe Frank's lack of ambition , desire for the club to make progress , and satisfaction with being bang-average is something to do with the 'Sheffield mentality'.
If you don't seek progress , preferring to stand still , you are actually going backwards in a relative sense.
Because the natural human drive is to make progress , exemplified by cities like Manchester , Leeds & Liverpool.

Citing two promotions and three PL seasons (2 painfully shit ones) misses the point that these were golden opportunities , ruined by some terrible recruitment and - in the case of 23/24 , deliberate parsimony by the owner seeking to "cash-out".

Sticking with the club , whilst knowing such wasted opportunities are highly unlikely to come again anytime soon , shows admirable loyalty.

I don't see how vocalising the obvious disappointment is in any way deserving of criticism from fellow fans who like to stick their heads in the sand.

Meant three seasons
And several play offs

Sticking with the club while being a whiny fanny shows even more

Excellent

100% play off failure says everything about it and provides the solid evidence of what we are

There are none so blind as those who will not see

Pigs have won 2x League 1 Play Off Finals. I guess that means they're streets ahead of us?

 

[mattbianco1]

I think being a Brentford or Bournemouth, would be a start, before we get to Man Utd level

The key to their success is because they managed to stay up for over 2 seasons. That seems to be the key to sustaining PL status.
How they achieved that; Luck? Spending Big? Good Strategies? none of it matters. They survived and are now rich with squads worth 100s of millions. I firmly believe Covid derailed this for us.

Brentford and Bournemouth have now assembled squads that even if relegated, are easily good enough to come straight back, OR, they can cash in on 3 or 4 players to generate >£100m to spend in the Championship.

If Forest and Wolves drop this year, they'll do the same and bounce straight back.

The 2021 relegation for us was our missed opportunity

Don't forget a League cup win at Wembley and played in Europe. Something we'd all kill for at BDTBL.

Donny are my second team and I've seen them win two trophies in finals, including Leeds at Wembley. A fantastic day so, when others can finish the job in finals, the only question that needs answering is 'why can't United?'

Wednesday aren't streets ahead, and you know that. Right now, Sunday is about who is less cr*p on the day. Nothing more.

They're not ahead but yeah I'd swap our experiences for theirs. They've had some top days at Wembley which eclipse anything that we've had.

Bit childish response pal... grow up!

Yes, because we are all serious grown ups on here, and no leg pulling or humour should be tolerated.
