No. I think our window of opportunity will be a small one though. Or do you think MR C will be like Steve Gibson chucking his money in year after year for 20 years?

No its the law that the fans who whinge most about prices have to sit in the most expensive seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth has where we have come from got to do with it??? We had one of the smallest budgets in the division. The last 2 seasons we have had one of the biggest. It would be 'astonishing' if as a result our expectations hadn't become one of the biggest in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one of the smallest budgets in the division. The last 2 seasons we have had one of the biggest. It would be 'astonishing' if as a result our expectations hadn't become one of the biggest in the division. Where we've come from has absolutely everything to do with it . Weve come from nigh on 20 years of turmoil both on and off the pitch. We've had manager after manager several very poor owners MM excepted almost gone bankrupt and out of business, not won anything worth talking about and seen our ground decay along with everything associated with us. "The last two seasons" you can't know other clubs budgets we might be in the top 6 last year Lower this. Our expectations started last year and for most people remain fairly well on track and furthermore emanate from our history of once being a very big club. One which I had the good luck (or bad if you consider being old) to see with my eyes. We are in great shape and if you don't think so we're on a different book not page .

And why are you so abusive in your use of profanities on a site that is open to children and women? He thinks he is the authority on all things to do with our club. Everything he says goes, so struggling to beat some garbage team is ok and you have to accept it. In reality he is a just another fan with an opinion which has no more weight than yours or mine.

Carl Shutt is God Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 1 hour ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: We came 6th last season. We are 6th this season. Regardless of the positions, regardless of the points totals, regardless of the results - we are playing nowhere near to the levels we reached at times last season. Despite spending loads of money on wages and transfers. We may go on picking up results whilst not playing well but usually in football, over the course of a season, you get what you deserve. That is why people are moaning, because they realise if we don't start playing better, we might not come in the top 6. It is unlikely that Chansiri will still be happily chucking money at this in 5 years - this is a limited opportunity. Judging by history of clubs with outside investment you have a small window to make it to the PL money. You either do what the likes of Watford, Bournemouth and Southampton have done and make it or more likely you end up like Forest, QPR, Cardiff or Ipswich - thinking about how you had your chance and messed it up. Almost always - the clubs that buy well and have a good manager make it. The ones that buy badly never make it. Therefore, whether you are happy, indifferent or unhappy to how things are going on the pitch at the moment - it seems churlish to criticise those that are voicing legitimate questions when there are so many question marks over our Summer recruitment. This has to be our time or our time may never come - and if I think that bad wee wee tail ups are being made that jeopardise that chance I will say so. And I will say so in what ever manner I like. This is a great post in many ways but I wish people would stop banging on about how much money we have spent. We spent more than we would normally but a lot less than a lot of others have and the quality of our squad was way below the top teams so any money we have spent over the last couple of years is helping us catch up with those other teams.......except those teams already with better squads are also srrenghthening in each window. People seem to think we have spent money so should now be better than everyone else as though we are the only ones spending money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
