Or there will be no heading or tackling allowed and it will be like walking mens football for the over 60’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanBird Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I went for 2027 as rather conservative estimate. Based on - no further point reductions - allowing the manager to built something (NO chopping & changing managers anymore) - keeping the good atmosphere at the club - DC funding 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been going on over a century now, and it will always exist in some form. The only thing that will completely kill football is the doom of the planet caused by climate change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onge Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Never. Good things just don't happen to us (other than in League One)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Never unfortunately. The gap between the champ and the premiership (including the parachute payment clubs) is way to big. The only teams that go up now are parachute payments or have to get extremely lucky with either an insanely good manager (Cooper/Wilder) or fall lucky with loans/academy players. All i want is one season up there for me and my old man to watch at hillsborough 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Football might implode for us. For all the money and the 'top' teams getting richer it doesn't stop the 'smaller' clubs reaching the Prem or getting close. We need to stop blaming the culture of football and look within our own club at the mismanagement. How can teams like Huddersfield and Luton get as close as we have in the last 23 years and even smaller clubs cementing themselves in the Prem for years yet we have only finished in the top half of the Championship 4 times in 23 years since leaving the Prem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It’s interesting how polarised it is between soonish and never. I was hovering between the 2027 option and never before coming down on the side of never. I think we might get playoffs again in the next five or six years but will probably miss out again prompting another free fall to L1. Having loads of fans is great but to be successful you either have to buy exceptionally well or bring through your own players. We have no good track record in either for so many years I can’t ever imagine we would get it right! Ah well. At least being a L1/ Championship yo-yo club is never dull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laird Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I'd love just one year in the Premier League for the financial security it should bring and the fact it would give the faithful at least one year of top flight football to tell their grandkids about. Other than that my happiest seasons have been when we've been chasing promotion from the lower leagues. Far better than getting smashed every week by well established teams whose financial clout we'll never be able to match as they are now so far ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I’m in my 20’s, I’m convinced I’ll never see us back in the top flight, we had our 2 chances and blew it for 2 different reasons. The first was down to being out muscled, the second was down to overly negative tactics and having no bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pulis Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 To those of you saying never is very over-pessimistic... So I the next eighty years, in which three teams go up every season, so 240 teams will be promoted from the Champ, out of probably a selection of 55 teams that will be in the running... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to those that are suggesting the Premier League is now a closed shop... Since the introduction of parachute payments in 2007, the Premier League then included: Portsmouth Blackburn Middleborough Derby Wigan Sunderland Bolton Reading Birmingham Nearly half the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulOwl Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I've gone for 2027-2031.... We'll go up next season and then have a good couple of years in the Championship.... then we'll romp it in 4-5 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but 120 of those team slots will be Norwich, Watford & Fulham on their bi-annual promotion-relegation trip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
