TBH I was referring more to the regard in which we are still held by many supporters of other clubs. We have been so wrapped up in how bad things have been over the last 2/ years that we tend to forget that we are still regarded as one of the traditional elite of English football by means other clubs fans and also the position of Hillsborough as one of the best traditional stadiums in the country.

Just read it myself and was gonna post it. Nice read. Makes me sad that one day Hillsborough might not be our home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I keep bemoaning the fact that for the first time in our history We are a club with money. But are not allowed to spend it. The 'Wednesday way' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Nostalgia from opposition fans will gradually fade as they get older and football changes. For these fans, Hillsborough's like a day out at a museum of football days gone by. As has been said, DC can invest into the ground without breaching FFP but he either doesn't have the long-term plan; the cash; the interest or he sees our future elsewhere.

The two go hand in hand is his point, it’s not that he doesn’t understand FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I like being a labelled as a traditional club - just a shame we’re habitual failures too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Good article. Comparing their good fortune to our misfortune, about the fortunes needed. He doesn't like Goodison Park does he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 He's probably unwilling to spend on the Stadium if we're likely to need to leave it if we do ever go up. That's my reading of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t we build the best academy in the north? wouldnt provide instant results but would in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP, if it is going to work at all, has to be more progressive and not some draconian coverall which condemns teams like us to be trapped in some vicious never ending circle.
