How shit has football been in yorkshire never mind Sheffield when they’ve been in prem longer than us and are arguably most successful club in region. They’ve not been in top flight football for 20 odd years and still played in it more than us. Shows how wank we have been and Yorkshire in general. Then you look across Pennines
Looks like we spent all the infrastructure budget on the scaffolding that has gone up outside the Copthorne
More games in EL next season - 8 instead of 6 before more knockout games.
These facts scare me, the footballing gods hate us in one off big games at Wembley etc, you only have to look across the city to see how them lot have faired in the long run, I’d hazard a guess that in the last 28 seasons the pigs have finished in the bottom half maybe 14 times in them years.
Selling our best players when we went up was unfortunate, but made good business sense as neither would sign a contract and could have left for nothing the end of the season. The argument is, would we have stayed up if they had stayed ? Who knows , but the owner doesn't have the motivation, interest or wealth to take the chance, therefore they had to go. The mindset , experience and savviness of the owner shapes the club , its behaviour and the subsequent outcomes we get.
Don't think Coventry belong in that "the likes of" list personally, although maybe that's just me showing my age. Before they got relegated they'd been in the top flight 36 consecutive seasons, Premier League founder member and ever-present until 2001. Was a shock of Villa proportions when they went down.
Quote of s24su. Shut the forum down, we have a winner !
The reason that there are any Bolton fans left in existence is because of their fairly recent "Glory Days"
We had our chance that comes around once every 20 years or so. We blew it. We didn’t get the players over the line we needed.
Good post
I think most people at the time of signing them expected Brewster, Berge and Mcburnie to be better than they were, we were riding the crest of waves at the time of signing them and I think as a fan base we mainly expected them to just slot straight into the group. I also think the wages and stardom of players might’ve gone to a few of the existing members heads. If you’ve been playing in league 1/2 or lower and then all of a sudden you’ve got the winning mentality and getting recognised by fans more and more it’s going to affect some people. Naturally players talk and they know who’s earning what at whichever club, if you’ve been on £2k a week in league one and then you find yourself in the premier league a few years later and your contract goes up to 10k a week but you hear about some bench warmer at palace who’s played 3 times in 3 seasons but earns 40k a week your going to start pushing your luck and if you get turned down for your request of more money you may get the face on….. that’s just me speculating and making scenarios up in my head so take no notice but I’m probably on the right tracks concerning some individuals
100% This cash is king and if you don’t have it we will also be a 1 or at very best 2 season wonder. Least we broke the cycle of being the Championship. Although I don’t like the idea of being a selling club we need to bring our scouting network into 21st century. Brighton used a good “loophole” to bring in Kaoru Mitoma https://www.boodlehatfield.com/arti...nal-sportsperson-visa-for-footballers-agents/
