Exactly, that is why I added the clause "discuss" to see what everyone else thinks. I'd add a popcorn eating emoji but I dont like popcorn...

Bristol Rob Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 A combination of the Post and the considered ramblings of Mr Rosenoir lead me to the following thoughts. "Nonsense story printed in a nonsense rag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 It doesn't really day much, and I agree that the Brighton model is a good one, and more than possible the one SL chose to copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Aren't Brighton in huge debt? I appreciate being in the £££ league will help but wouldn't Huddersfield be a better model to follow rather than Brighton? He IS right in that we have a chance to do something incredible but so do a lot of other clubs in the Championship. All that said, we've never been in a stronger position than we are now, not since the 70's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are better set now, by some margin, than we were then. Don't get me wrong, it would have been great but unsustainable as we were then, that isn't the case any more.

That Hull game still riles me however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted October 13, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I like the Burnley model. Used their first spell in the Prem to pay off their debts, did a little sprucing up of their ground and built a state of the art training ground. Now they are back in the Prem and seem to know they are currently still a risk of going down so buy good Championship players (such as Andre Gray then Chris Wood). If they go down they haven't overspent and already have some of the best championship players. The tricky part is progressing from that cautious spending with one eye on relegation as Swansea are finding after a few years in the top division.

Wanderingred Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Off the field, things have never ever been as good as they are now. The stadium, the youth system, commercial revenue, our gates and income.... Only problem is, there are a lot of other clubs that can say exactly the same thing! We can be hopeful, but we shouldn't demand or expect such success.. After all, we are just one of 24 other Championship clubs hoping to make the step up.

Not with SL behind us, we wouldn't. That Oyston (?) bloke is after a profit for himself and has killed Blackpool FC. We would have probably gone straight back down but we would have had a laugh doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
