Here's a poll with just two options: 1. I want to see NCFC in the Premier League next season, however we manage it. 2. I want to see NCFC playing good positive football in the remaining twelve games and if we end up relegated, so be it. Of course, we would all like to see our team playing good positive football AND staying up, but that's not my question.
But now we can re-invest the majority of the huge sums we get for being in the PL straight into the first team if we stay up.
For me there´s absolutely no contest, option 1, because like it or not, football is no longer a game it´s a deadly serious business where success is paramount, and success in this country is called the Premier League, and you can thank (or not, as the case may be) SKY for that.
Hi bors, we go for option one, two is not to be considered. As Dave said, we strengthen in the summer. We will never win this league if we get relegated, roight !!! Yep, my glass is half full.
Disappointed with a boring game so quickly after the boring game against Toon All fine margins though one goal goes in and we would all have taken it Has to be option 1 want to see my team play at the highest level for as long as possible so I get to see the best possible players for my £
IF we play like this next season for a prolonged period, then it's pretty damn likely we will get relegated over the course of a full season (obviously assumes we stay up this season)
this year is the most important in our clubs history, the money to be made next year means anything goes. if we stay up we should have no debts and **** load of money that means even if we do go down to the championship 1 year our finances and team should really help us with a chance to come straight back up.
Option 1 . We stay up please. No interest in any more "plucky nearly-ran" headlines. I'd love to see us ripping teams apart with flowing, passing football but until we have the personnel and capability then we play to our strengths and the necessary tactics to get the best result, whatever that looks like. Another point gained, when plenty of the competition got none.
Stoke. Stoke. Stoke. Play like Stoke. I really don't uderstand all the Barcelona, Swanselona, tikka-takka, gung-ho score more Brasil wannabe's. I want our club to be successful. I understand that this is a long term project. If this means a couple of seasons of less-than-desirable football stylings then so be it. We can't afford fast turnaround short-term success. Long termism is the only way forward.
