We win matches again Championship away days. Derby days (if they stay up) Ashley may **** off. Any others?
As I've said elsewhere, what the hell was the point in promotion. It just makes looking around the league with barely-concealed jealousy all the worse. Better to be a big fish in a pond than a piece of **** floating around the ocean.
At least next time we wouldn't need to worry about the false hopes of a promotion. We'd be down for a while.
Maybe with Rafa sorting the academy we will have a lot of local lads coming through. Nah **** that. The PL clubs would just hoover up all the talent.
There will be no positive to relegation this time. It's not the detox mike seems to think it is. We got lucky twice, only an idiot would bet on it again And yet MA is that idiot
Probably the opposite is true. We need to fluke a good finish in the league and someone might see us as worth what will be enough buy Ashley out. He's not going to get his money back (c. £300m) if we are in the lower leagues.
Maybe this is Ashley's plan? Get promoted, spend nothing but reap the benefits of Sky money and go back down so we don't have to spend it!
