No thats not the point I'm making, they are selling/buying at an acceptable rate and doing what we should have done, people on here are citing the Brentford model as the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah don't remember that at all. How long did it last for? I still can't see what benifits it would bring at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in North Yorkshire and there was a huge outcry at the time as most fans don't see the bigger picture when moving players on (sounds a bit familiar to S6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have our fans been ‘baying’ for the premier league? I must have missed that. It was DC that gave the two year target for promotion when he took over.

Supporters should accept it as reality and move on. It happens at all clubs (not enough at Wednesday in the last five years sadly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
