also Don't want to be rude, but alot of talk on this forum is about others, Ched Evans, Akinfenwa...

was simply stating that while we haven't got promoted liked we all hoped, we haven't failed as badly as people are making out


My point is that teams get promotion on budgets both big and small - it's how it's spent that counts. Also remember that, other than clubs who have remained in the Prem, we are one of the clubs that has gone longest without promotion - 17 seasons without success.

I'm staggered at that,  Old Codger - consider myself fortunate to have a long memory.

UTM

Also, I hope LJL does score 20 + goals - he has far exceeded his goals tally for previous seasons already.

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
we have 'one of the biggest budgets' and in the last 2 season have made the play-offs.

FGR, spend i would say at least double ours and don't make the play-offs, that is what i would class as a failure


On what basis would you say that? If I recall correctly our turnover is a couple of million with a deficit of a few hundred k p.a.. Given our gate is about 3 times FGR's, their benefactor must therefore be chipping in about £4m a year to make their budget double ours.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
