So glad we're not going to make the play oooooofs can you imagine if we flunked it and got promoted? Same dross as unable to unload them and teir not up to the job of the prem and add in a few more journey greedy players and some dodgy foreign players we would be a laughing stock and be relegated with the lowest points ever.

I'd take that, just for the parachute payments. Think bigger picture.👍

The sheep still hold the unenviable record of lowest ever points tally in the prem.i think if we somehow fluked it and went up this season we'd be on a par and i wouldn't want to see that happen to us

It mystifies me why people seem to think that if we had got. Promoted through the play offs that we would start a season in the prem with anywhere near the same squad that got us promoted,surely we’d strengthen massively wouldn’t we ??

You would prefer to play in this division to the Prem? Is this "Idiots are us" day?

Come on, we have improved and should improve again next season. We will lose some of the weaker players and be stronger next season. We will have a new stadium and get promoted next season.

Get some perspective. Two years ago we were staring relegation in the face and had an idiot for an owner. But even that plonker didn't prefer to have us in this division.

Of course i'd like to see us in the prem but wouldn't want to see us embarrassed.fulham have spent 100 million and look at them.its going to take a massive overhaul of our squad which is obvious because most of them are nowhere near good enough

They also sacked Jokanovic and Ranieri along the way but still got relegated. Continuity? I think not!

Smithy yep and Burnley spent relatively little and survived for years same as did stoke for quite a few years, nobody is talking about anything but survival in the prem , competing for the prizes is for the elite few nowadays unfortunately

Spot on Stevie you only need to look at the table,the top six sides are the top six,always going to happen the way football has gone.
Bosman made crap footballers rich and ruined the chances of small clubs from competing for honours.

As a matter of interest what are parachute payments set at? Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Year 0 the club gets relegated and earns £x in PL earnings; Year 1 they get £x/55%; Year 2 £x/45%; Year 3 £x/20%. It needs, and will get, rethinking.}
