Who knows? Possibly a little better very possibly worse. Guess I failed getting to extra marks territory?

If you can’t pass for toffee are you wasting your time preparing a near perfect pitch? Is it better to leave it bumpy & bobbly and the grass longer to disrupt the opposition?
When constructing a stadium, is it more appealing to have an uncovered away end, thus ensuring the away supporters get drenched when it rains?
Football is all about scoring goals. Should you get an additional point for every goal you score in a game?
If footballs were inflated using Krypton gas – would you have a Superball?
If footballs were inflated with Neon gas – would they light up dull games?
Does football need ‘levelling up’?
Let’s go 4 down & up to Prem & Championship.
Let’s go 6 down & up to L1 & L2.Only Smarties have the answers.

In my opinion if we’d have gone up it would have been worse. Swann’s spending was reckless as it was. I couldn’t possibly imagine how much he would have spent if there was more scope there to do so.
I’d rather not contemplate that in all honesty.

It is what it is.Ambition is fine if you have the resources to fund it.
Man City: 3rd tier to the dominant force in English football.
Einstein said that there are five things that you shouldn’t share with anyone.
One of these is your dream or pipe dream.Scunny we’re a L2 club. It’s about knowing your place in the grand scheme of things.
If I was the person in the hot seat, I’d want to remain in L2, no promotion, no relegation.
Finish in the play offs or just miss out in the last game of the season each year. Maybe a few trips to Wembley but don’t get promoted.
The team is deemed to be successful as it is winning the majority of games each season.
There’s a ‘feel good factor’ about the club.
Bums are sitting on seats and attendances and therefore revenue is high.Promotion brings problems.
The League above is generally full of bigger clubs with bigger budgets.The manager feels a need to bring in ‘better players’, costing transfer & agents fees. These new players will want higher wages.
Existing players will also be knocking on the door for more money.
The manager will want a bigger squad again costing more money.
How many extra supporters will come through the turnstile?What was our average attendance in the Championship?
It wasn’t sustainable.
It’s a cost benefit detriment analysis.
Keep your existing squad in L2 and you keep your costs down.
You keep the same manager and you have stability and aren’t on an endless conveyor belt churning over managers and players.We will be back, eventually.

‘I mean what the hell were Bournemouth doing up there for awhile based on club size, fanbase and infrastructure’
They’re back there this season and by all accounts could be competitive. Don’t know how they’re managing that though.

In days gone by, the club have never achieved a season average attendance of more than 13,000 in their history.
The population of the town is 185,000.
The metropolitan area has a population of 515,000.The demographics can’t be right for football down there.

Money money money Abba were right it’s a rich mans world but that does not make it a sensible or fair one.

I think in hindsight Swann should have put the club up for sale when we lost that playoff – it was then that he lost interest, he possibly wouldn’t have the stick that he has now and he may have got a better price for it.

Would have delayed the inevitable by another year.
Look where our first opponents of the NL season have been during the past ten years.

Has anyone factored in COVID and Bolton Wanderers from Ernie’s excuses.
Ernie fails to factor in umpteen crap managers, selling Aduleken, Holmes,Townsend and Wallace and not replacing them quality wise.
Oh and selling Paddy Madden our last regular goalscorer to be replaced by nobody able to score more than 10 in any season. Or as currently a team unable to score 10 between them.
Ernie did not lose interest he simply fails to deliver on anything, his attention and money was diverted to the Sands Venue, a multi-million investment of a 5 star hotel in errr Blackpool the home of B&Bs stag n hen weekends and scotch week. Popular for donkies, kiss me quick hats and rock!
Blackpool also once had the worse ever football club chairman!!!!!!
Madden’s still doing the business, he was just going through a baron run, could have just rested him. Selling him wasn’t a bad mistake. lol. Thanks for backing me up there Ferrite.
Barren run, he wasn’t a member of the aristocracy to the best of my knowledge.
