Why isn't winning the championship considered a trophy? We're 2 for 2 in championship league titles, it's listed as an honour on both Rafa and Chris Hughton's record, we were certainly given a trophy for it, but why is it always overlooked when talking about a teams titles? It is considered a trophy, but it's (rightly imo) not a major trophy. How could it be when by definition the best teams in the country don't play in it? If we're honest, the big prize in that division is promotion to the PL with the trophy being no more than a nice bonus for whoever finishes top. Iirc you actually get a trophy to lift for finishing second in that division now If anyone starts trying to use second division titles to prove they're a "big club" then they're only really proving that they're not.

Do you really? I kind of like that because for some reason it always irked me that 1st gets a trophy and you could get one if you sneak 6th then get through three more games but 2nd traditionally gets nothing.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 100% the Champo is a worthless trophy. It's a cup for finishing 21st in England. And I say that having enjoyed seeing us lift it at SJP, fun as it was, it wasn't a big deal. As others have said, promotion is the real prize.

Nucasol Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Someone’s missed a trick not changing Sam Fender’s ‘Seventeen Going Under’ to ‘Sunluns Going Under’. With a 1.25:1 wages to turnover ratio it’s a real possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are on generous automatic increases anyway. I don't think they'll be much better off financially in the championship unless the hike up ticket prices.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 They can't afford to go up, they can't afford to stay down. The issue for them is that whilst the top 25 or so clubs are quickly getting richer, they are getting poorer. They either need to accept that they are a 3rd division club and run themselves within the means their small fanbase can provide, or carry on hemorrhaging money on wages and go out of business and end up like Darlington.

Joey Linton Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Am I missing something here? He's saying that that owners are now owed over £2m by the club, but didn't the owners previously write off something like £25m that they borrowed from the club when they bought it? And he's presenting it as a good thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
