If we did go up this season then we'd likely be whipping boys. If we can keep building the squad over the next 2 or 3 windows we might have a chance of staying there, especially if Ulker increases his involvement.

That said, wouldn't you take a season up, pocket the cash and then really be a championship big dog?

No I wouldn’t, I want us to win every game. Zero fun getting spanked by the prem big boys every week

Although there's no fun in getting spanked every week, what I find most off putting about the Premier League is the bias the officials have toward the bigger clubs (especially when EVERYONE is bigger). If it was an even playing field it would make it more palatable. However, I understand for the future of the club it's probably the best thing.
 
Weve been promoted to the prem 3 times
And still have a training ground resembling market weighton fc

Yes, but nobody forced us to spend all the money on players, we could have just taken 5% of the money that Premier League promotion brings and spent it on a new training facility, as Burnley did.
 
TBH I don’t want to go up, I want to be the big dogs of the championship not getting mullered by the prem big boys every week
Look at Burnley, would their fans prefer to be top of the championship or bottom of the prem?
If you were to make up the players wages to PL levels they might do a deal with you! :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
I don't see the point of getting excited about league games if you don't want to go up.

I'd take promotion every time. There's always a chance we'll get it right at some point. Look at Leicester.

I would happily take 3rd every season.
Perfect scenario would finish top every season but decline to go up, but I don’t think that’s possible

How do you get excited about games? I can't get my head around it!

I just think, even a miserable PL season gives excitement - different teams - bigger aspirations - maybe a cup run - a shock result on the way.
 
I really enjoyed our last Premier League season, despite the stupidity of the owners at the time. The first half featured two wins out of two, a great run in the League Cup and hanging on in several league games thanks to Snodgrass’s goals. The second half was a feat of miracle working by Marco Silva, we very nearly survived.

2009/10 was **** though. You can keep that kind of season.
