    The truth is I have no idea, but at best an established Championship side. I think it will be hard to do a Bournemouth TBH. We can dream.

    Paul Futcher , God rest his sole , what a class act he was , loved watching him & to think with all the money in the game today, he ended up as a postie at Holmfirth .

    I think it's quite plausible to do a Bournemouth. I just don't see why a bunch of super rich asians etc would buy a middling northern club to leave them as a middling northern club and rake in a couple of mill here and there in transfers. They've got far better things to do with their money.

    I hope that you are right. I think the money that is thrown at this won't be the way they will go in the medium term.
    Burnley have done it the right way, but it has taken a lot of ups and downs. Other teams have thrown money at a project, like Hull City & are now a totally busted flush. I'd like to see us stabilise in the championship & start to hold on to players, at least till we can get £10 million for a player, instead of £1.2 million. Improve the ground, our brand & keep building the ethos & supporter base. After that, we might be ready?

    My guess would be about the same. We may be in the championship but lower end or top end of league one.

    Thanks for the well argued point, taking into account all factors & a 5-10% error rate.
