They’d had nine years in the championship and went up as a stable club and came straight back down the first time having spent very little. Unlike us who blew it all away by Duffen. But he really got the fans tho, so that’s ok
Even so, you get the impression that when Dyche goes, it will all go titz there. Surely he will get tired of it ? I've no doubt at all they will decline just like about 80 other clubs. I remember when Bpool fluked it into the prem in 2010, all the wise ****s on here praised Hollowhead and Oyston and lamented the fact that we weren't more like the wise spendthrift Tangerines with their bikeshed of a new stand opposite the cameras. Then we had the Sjoke love in (bankrolled by Peter Coates) with their cauldron of noise and the wily Pulis, then they got above their station, demanded 'sexy football' and as Phil Collins might say 'Well take a look at me now' a fickle and dwindling fanbase, the team going nowhere. Happens to nearly all clubs
I doubt he would the purrpertrator of a move, though he was a whisker away from going last week according to one of his neighbours.
And I said I agree with most of your post. Burnley are the blue print for most medium sized clubs to follow. As Cityman says it all could come tumbling down for them too at any time but the difference between us and them and our time in the Premier League is that they invested in bricks and mortar and a proper training ground and facilities which they own and a community programme that is heralded as one of the best in the Premier League.
Just discovered him ****ting in my flower bed. He says he's staying and wants to catnip any rumours in the bud.
What did he originally cost West Ham from Leeds? From memory it was about £4-£5m which seems a bit of a bargain for Norwich.
