In all seriousness we get all excited about our teams getting there but for what?
Your team will never win it.......only 4 clubs can do that now....Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and maybe Liverpool.
Your team will never get in the Champions League...see above.
The chances of getting in the top 10 now are almost impossible for new teams with the financial clout of.......Villa, Everton, Spurs, Newcastle, Man City, West Ham, Portsmouth.
Then there are Blackburn, Boro, Sunderland who can easily spend £30m + per season.
So what you then have is a battle with Fulham, Wigan, Bolton and the the other 2 who came up with your club.
If fighting a relegation battle is what you want then the Premier is for you. I'm not sure I really want that every year not when you look how competitive the Championship is. Neraly every team stands a chance of doing well.
I never thought I'd be the one to say it but the money really has screwed the game up! There is no competition anymore at the top level except between brand awareness!

I see you are looking at it like i do Matt.
It aint always that our chairmen won't compete,it is that they can't,or won't simply because it would be in vain and that vanity could cost millions. This is why parachute payments have come about.

Totally Agree mate - it will end up with a top 4 or 5, the same teams 6th to 13th and the same 6 or 7 fighting to avoid the drop. Never again will a team like Derby or Blackburn win the top flight. |

It's become pointless. The only team I can think off that may break into the premier and actually establish themselves is QPR. That is what's needed now............a few billionaires to run your club or basically forget it.
You watch Stoke, West Brom, Hull or Bristol City all get spanked next season. It will be painful!

Just a little well run club like Rovers finishing in the top 8 every season with a great manager who has a real eye for a bargain and whose teams can either play football or mix it as the need presents itself. It can be done but needs to be managed well. They'll never win it though. |

It can be done but needs to be managed well. They'll never win it though. You've got quite a bit of money to spend compared to most who go though! However it is good to see you mix it up with Everton, Villa, Spurs, Toon etc |
