RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I've said this before but I'd sooner us stay down, and challenge consistently for promotion while building a team capable of staying up in the Premier League. No point going up just to come straight back down. Do you not think that if we somehow got promoted this season it wouldn't our the club as a whole in a way stronger position for the next 5-6 years minimum? (If the extra revenue is managed correctly)- even if we were immediately relegated? Edited August 23, 2014 by RUMBELOWS91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parachute payments would make it worthwhile alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Our situation reminds me of Burnley last season. They barely had a pot to wee wee in. They had a very small squad. They only had three strikers all season. Ings, Vokes and Noble till January and then Ings, Vokes and Barnes from then onward. Ings and Vokes weren't predicted to pull up any trees. Their squad was underestimated. One of the favourites to go down. But with hard work and a tight knit team they finished second. I am not saying that we will finish second, but....I'm very optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, small tight knit squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 those worrying what will happen when we go up need not worry..... with a squad of 12 it wont happen!!! massive credit to gray and the handful of players we have but thanks to mandaric and that pathetic oaf he supposedly lined up to take us over our lack of depth will be be our undoing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point going up just to come straight back down. Don't be daft lad. 100 million reasons to go up!!! We can go up take the money buy some decent players and even if we do go down we can then mount another challenge the following year and we'd have parachute payments this time. It's been too long since we mixed it with the big boys so i'd take promotion. Not that it matters as we aint strong enough at the moment to maintain a sustained challenge.
