GermanBird Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Maybe Accrington Stanley? I am sure their fans and players are enjoying the season! They have less pressure than the bigger clubs They are on a very good run They have got a very likeable owner They communicate well with the fanbase They are doing lots of things right on and off the pitch They have their finances in order They have the same manager since 2014 IMO maybe the luckiest team right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Got to be Ayre United IOM unbeaten this season, no pressure, no such thing as AT, they don't have a Fans forum. No one can get birched anymore for minor crimes like missing a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Sheffield Wednesday Lucky that we got 10 points out of the first 4 games that will hopefully keep us out of a relegation battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Norwich Keep getting promoted to the Premier League despite being a complete waste of a spot. So many other clubs would give it a better go, yet Norwich seem to keep making it there, despite not particularly big resources or an impressive fanbase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG_1984 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 On balance, has to be Leicester. They always seem to just fall on their feet. Went into administration before there were any penalties, made light work of their spell in League One, came into money before FFP, went and bloody won the Premier League and are now a very decent Premier League side. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 United were lucky to come across Wilder, and he/they were lucky for 3 seasons when everything fell for them. Historically, Forest were even more lucky when Clough went there. They'd done nothing for a century, and Clough won them the European Cup, twice. When he left they did nothing again. Derby were incredibly stupid to sack him, so were Leeds. I wrote to Wednesday begging them to go get him, if they'd listened to me, we could have won the European Cup. Conversely we were incredibly unlucky that his boyhood team, Aston Villa poached RA when we were ready to join the elite. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie melua Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Easy this one MK Dons All those other clubs starting up (FC United etc) join in the non leagues having to work their way up Not them, straight into league one 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unlucky for Clough that he couldn’t convince Taylor to join him at Leeds. His time there would have been very different. Not the same manager without his right hand man.

Fairy Tail Owl Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Tho they are in a tough spot at the minute its surely Man United? ALL the late goals, pens etc in the last 30 years, AND they had Sir Alex and the Class of '92! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly, even if Leicester had been given a 12-point deduction for going into administration it wouldn't have affected their league position as they'd still have finished second on goal difference over the Blunts...who then went on to lose in the Play-off Final. Heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 We have to be up there to be honest.... We would have qualified for Europe (more than once?) if it hadnt have been for English teams being banned. Didnt even get into Europe for getting to two cup finals in '93. When we finished 3rd, we qualified for the UEFA cup, this would have been the Champions League and all the money it brings just a few seasons later. Bad luck that we had an owner who seemingly wanted to get petty revenge on Ron Atkinson. Bad luck losing the FA Cup final replay with the last kick of the game. Getting relegated from the Premier League the season before parachute payments were introduced. Im sure there will be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
