SolihullOwl79 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Are we better or worse off for losing the play off final to Hull? It's a serious question. Look at what has happened with them! Yes they had a season in premier league, but they're already languishing in League 1. We laughed at their ownership and lack of support back in that final. It seems looking at them we were looking into a crystal ball of our own future. Much criticised owner and a divided fan base. Looking at the players bought by Chansiri on advice of his advisors on long high paying contracts, can you imagine the mess we would have been in had we gone up. He'd have signed 'experienced' players on big money and still refused offers on players already at the club. Players whose only interest would have been to get as much cash as they can and no feel for the club. The same problems are a bigger and more crippling scale. While it is absolutely rubbish where we are now, there is an opportunity to redirect and replan for a brighter future. Sign young player's and sell at profit, reinvest revenue and follow the blue prints of Southampton and Norwich in rising from League 1 to the Premier League based upon secure foundations.

Andysowls Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’d dread t’think what would have happened t’us if we got promoted t’Premier League....We’d have needed a entirely new squad! There was only Bannan from that team that would’ve held his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Time to move on. Well that was 4 and a half years ago actually. Would also say time flies when you’re having fun but it really hasn’t in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Hull are having a good season in League 1, currently top of the league. I will be amazed if we are in a similar position next season. Edited March 19, 2021 by matthefish2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
