    Can I just say how pleased I am with the way that our management team are sticking to the task.

    I am like everyone else who would love us to compete with the "Big" clubs financially. But we cannot sustain that.

    Dreams can however be achieved on lesser budgets and with lesser crowds, I know it was a different world, but look how they achieved their success (Derby & Forest {clough}, Wimbledon, Wigan {yes they had Whelan but started in Div4}, Watford. More recently Reading and Swansea (neither are "big clubs").

    Teams built on good youth with bargain basement "old pro's".

    How long before we start overtaking other clubs because they lose 10 points for going into administration?

    It will happen!

    Be real and believe!

    I agree. Every season there is a team if not two that goes into admin. Theres always one that does the nose dive. A sound financial policy, player/manager stability might not get you to the top of the league, but it's a reasonable basis in this climate for staying away from the bottom. I really expect Cov and Forest to suffer, and wouldn't be surprised to see something happen at say Birmingham with owners etc. It might not be the most ambitious policy, but for a club our size I think we are plugging away quite well.

    Dreams are not as cheap as they used to be - really can't see any club copying the achievements of forest , derby and villa.

    Agree Liverpool, but the two recent ones didn't buy their way out of the division.
    Reading (unknown Irish) and youth.

    the club from a financial perspective is been run sport on at the moment, but its bad for the game when a gut who its the times top 100 rich list is not rich enough to be able to afford to fund a football club. money is killing the game

    There's still a Monetary bubble in football, and its not yet burst. The club is being well served in being run this way. Other clubs will have serious problems.

    Portsmouth or Birmingham are my favourites. Coventry next.

    Slightly longer odds... Bristol city.

    The examples I used won the European Cup and the 1st division title as it was then - can't see any of those clubs going onto repeat that feat. There's always going to be a Norwich, Wigan etc but they can't take it to the next level without massive amounts of cash
