    Zactly. From Hunter to Wilson there must have been 13 or 14 seasons in a row where we did very little. Made no progress. One near miss on the play offs and a few relegation battles. A pretty accurate reflection of the entirety of our existence in the second tier. The very level some claim is our rightful home and anything less is a disgrace.
    If certain people had experienced that spell they'd have been incandescent.
    It is probably our natural home but it's one where we've rarely been a major force.
    For the first time ever there's a chance we could change that yet some folk scream and tantrum within six months of the new ownership because they're incapable of looking further ahead than the end of next week.

    Not sure about the name ongoingcloud1887, perhaps it would read better if it was ongoingclown1887. Just a thought.

    The squad was not good but Hecky just compounded how bad we were clueless tactics and we'd have 100% gone down if he had stayed although he probably walked before he was pushed.

    The real truth is that you believe in fairies and will most probably be sadly disappointed.[/QUOTE]
    So you think we can't do better than League 1 what a great attitude no wonder we never progress

    Yup. Football has changed mate. We had a comfortable existence in the 2nd tier back then. We weren't going up or down and shared the division with a diverse group of clubs from grimsby to man City.

    Financial prudence??

    6 Million lost for getting relegated. 4 Million gained for Hourihane.

    Common sense? So every team should sell off all their best players on the cheap and then drop like a stone

    There's losing and then there is some of the grim things I have seen.

    But of course us youngsters don't know the good ol days when men used kick around a leather ball and folk used to watch the matches sat in a tree

    I am saying our left backs will get mullered because they can't do the basics of defending

    Yes. The financial prudence that accepts the risk of going down and losing six million in revenue as opposed to spending millions upon millions on wages that were unsustainable, making the club a debt ridden basket case that new investors would never have gone near and ultimately imploding.
    That financial prudence.
