I had got home from ten hours of tedious work and just decided to sit and write about something I care about- sadly I've only gone and pretty much stuck it in the bin by choosing to comment here I appreciated it!

tts_city Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 The only premier this team will see is the Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average age of our starting lineup is just over 23 years old. A few of those have been linked with bigger clubs like Brownhill, Bryan and Fam who in the end is with us instead of the bigger clubs. I am not sure you can put a timeframe on the premier league. I do know the competition for top 24-27 year old championship players is fierce and probably a market we can't currently compete in. I think our best bet at it is to continue as we are for a few more years. Reap the financial rewards of growing a few of these players and start bringing in a higher calibre player to replace them. We have been trying to develop young players and build a team for the top flight for nearly 40 years. Some of us older fans have heard this all before and are less optimistic.

Chappers Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Who knows? We can't compete financially at this level, it's just a case of keeping going and hoping that, one year, the team comes good, and finishes top 2, or we can defy history and win the play offs. We can then enjoy inflated prices, games moved for TV, glory hunters etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead1 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" Mike Tyson It's how you react to adversity that differentiates true winners and all the PowerPoints, GT interviews and cosy away day promises to fans aren't a substitute for investment in experience and talent. Actions also speak louder than words and anyone who thinks we are set for the PL and Europe with Lansdown and Johnson in charge is sadly deluded. SL has never invested in the necessary skill-set or experienced back room staff to make that step up. Until the day his ego finally allows him to admit he needs external help, we will always struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think it is probably our best option outside of just spending big and taking our chances in the 3 year period of FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
