I understand there are other clubs who want to win stuff and we have as much chance as them. I'm not saying we will win trophies, as I said yesterday, but we will be challenging and have as much chance as anyone else. We will be a top club in this division in the future, that I'm convinced about but how that translated into trophies is another matter. The possibility is there just like it is for United, City or Chelsea. I don't see anyone else being able to win the league because you three buy the most expensive players and you all play the same style of football. We don't and I think that will give us an edge, as its proven to do so often already, not only with us but in the past with United, Liverpool and Chelsea in the past in Europe. We play an English style of football which brought you all great success in the past and I think/hope it will give us a chance in the future.
Talking to you is like talking to someone who doesn't possess the ability to retain information, you're like a goldfish. I've said countless times that I came back for four games, which included Swansea, United where we effectively win the league, Everton when we won 3-1 and lifted the trophy and then Chelsea away for the guard if honour. So yes I saw most of the season on telly and came back to see us lift the trophy. What a terrible fan I am for spending thousands to come back for that. I've talked about attendance of away fans and I proved to you that we had sold every ticket on the road up to Swansea and that's when we were losing every week. Are you really that stupid that you think as soon as we start winning again that we're going to stop selling out away games? We hadn't won away all season until West Ham yet we're still selling out every week but of course they stopped going after that hey. Dumbass. Everton was a one off for the absolutely logical and fully understandable reasons I gave.
Exactly, so this 10 year plan of yours to get to the top is no different than 19 other clubs plans. We all want to be the best, we all aim/plan to get there. The fact is very few make it and at the moment you look more likely to drop down than rise up.
It is different though because most teams are happy being in the PL and finishing mid-table and that's a reality. WBA, Stoke, Southampton, West Ham etc have no desire to be playing CL football, of course they would like to but it's not their plan. Our owners don't want mid-table or top 10 and won't settle for it like other clubs will who are happy to occupy those positions. So no you're wrong!
I see the future being the current top seven from last season and Leicester making up a top eight who will be significantly better than the rest and then it will be one of eight who have a chance at the start of every season.
Sunday 4:30pm away in Liverpool and work the next day, spending time with family on Sunday's so not able to go, not got the money because CL games were more important than meaningless PL game agaisnt a nothing club with a crap ground with a crap view. Not worth the money.
If you genuinely think that; 1. Leicester City will ever build a ground with a 72k capacity and 2. That'd they'd ever fill it with people paying actual money Then you're a complete fruit cake
Or maybe they just couldn't be arsed buying a ticket as you'd been complete gash for most of the season, and beyond gash away from home..... The title win was a glorious fluke, you'll never repeat it or get vaguely close to it.
So the fans are not as hungry for away tickets as you mention. The demand from fans not lucky enough to get regular tickets for away games didn't even require the club to take a full allocation. Should be nothing more special than watching your club away. Even for fans used to going to a Colchester or Luton on a midweek in January
Yeah but their owners have a plan, if City and Chelsea did it why can't they. If only they could have found a spare £2m last season they could have had Keane now, doesn't look good for doing it the City way does it
Yeah. City and Chelsea did it in major Cities and by spending big on quality players. Maguire has a big fee, but small quality. But once they get the glory hunting fans they will be okay, maybe even sell all their away allocations in 10 years time.
We had over 200,000 people lining the streets after our cup win in 1976 (many of which do not even follow football) and we have a huge catchment area but I can safely say that there will never be a 70,000 capacity stadium in Southampton.
But that's because your owners don't have a 10 year plan. He has seen the plan for Leicester. They are having nine hole golf course at the training ground, that just tells me they will be challenging like Man City and Chelsea.
I have just found out (on the Chelsea board) that the 9 hole golf course used to be 18 holes but they are building over it
