    "Where has it all gone so wrong that in 20 years we have had 3 stints in League 1, compared with the likes of Sheffield United, Bournemouth, Burnley, Huddersfield, Derby, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Wigan, Bolton, Sunderland, Leeds, Fulham Brighton have all been to the Premier League, some on more than one occasion?



    What have they got/had that we don't? On being supported we are up there with the best of them, and lower end Premier League teams, and yet we have had 2 playoff runs in the Championship in 20 years.



    We have had 3+ chairmen in that time, countless managers, countless players, but we cannot get it right.



    So what does it take to get us reaching our potential? Is there anything we can do until/if we ever get a chairman/board in who can give us a solid foundation?



    Post-War we are a top division yo-yo team, but we are absolutely nowhere near that now. What do teams like Norwich, West Brom, Watford all do that we just cannot figure out?"

    Massive LOL

    Delusions of grandeur, it will always be your undoing.

    There is a post on there blaming the fact the second half of their game was 10 minutes after Rotherham's, and that it should all be in sync. I mean, I get the grasping at straws, but come on...

    The problem they have is due to their cheating they are royally screwed. Losing huge amounts of money, have to pay the chairman enormous monthly fees for the stadium they sold to themselves and are going into L1 with a shīt, aging team, with lower turnover than ever.

    I can't see them bouncing back for a looooooooong time

    It’s actually quite accurate factually and to answer his query it’s all down to bad management in the boardroom and the dressing room.

    It's almost as if being taken for mugs and willingly spending thousands of pounds just to win "best fans competition" doesn't make your team win games.
