I saw a vid just now, they have to upgrade one of the stands according to PL standards and also for broadcasting issues. Need £10m to upgrade this summer.

Guest Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I guess that's what the TV money is there for. Will obviously hit their transfer budget but if they can get the infrastructure and strengthen with players who'd be happy to stay if they go down it'll do them good. Would be canny if they bought Ross Stewart or someone from Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) It doesn’t matter if they go down immediately next season. The fortune they got from this promotion, if invested properly, can transform the club completely and made them real EPL standard teams in 5-6 years. edit: including infrastructure like a new stadium and club house training pitch etc Edited May 27, 2023 by Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Renato Sanches looked quality for PSG today, every time I see him he looks great. Checked his Transfermarkt for this season and he’s had more injuries than Maxi. Guess that must be the story of his career, lots of muscle and hamstring issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a case here in Sweden when an unfancied ice hockey club got promoted to the top division and had to make a bunch of improvements to suit the leagues standards, then got relegated and couldn't keep up with the costs of their new arena and then went bust.

Jonas Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Nice story still I suppose. As it happens found out would have preferred Coventry. Was at the 94 cup game there, got on the tele pre-match head stuck in the programme, doubt will ever get back with half the away end cut off now. Even then with everybody bar Walsall, Millwall and Scunthorpe at their original stadium just about it was weird. Thought of the town as more of a dump than the stadium iirc. Remember Ruel Fox, cup tied, sitting by the tunnel pretty close to us and a bloke with a trumpet directly in front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are there on merit, they were the third best team in the Championship and have been an incredibly well run club for a few years now. Also, like Brighton, they got their manager pinched off them this season and came back even stronger from it. Don't think we should even talk about them going down next season yet.

Was a case here in Sweden when an unfancied ice hockey club got promoted to the top division and had to make a bunch of improvements to suit the leagues standards, then got relegated and couldn't keep up with the costs of their new arena and then went bust. The problem with this is that our FA and other football authorities do not give a single fuck. My local non-league side got relegated this season, despite finishing just outside the play offs. The reason being is that their ground wasn’t up to standard but they gained the funding to do the work this summer. The work would have been done in time for the new season and it made no difference at all, but still they went ahead with it, even on appeal. You have the case of where clubs have been in financial trouble so the EFL stopped them playing games, which would have brought in revenue. At the time the actively helped negotiations between Bolton and new owners, but told Bury they had no time which made them go bust. They allowed Wigan to be taken over by an owner they had reason to suspect was going to immediately put them in administration so they would be relegated and win a bet. They they have the points deduction, and Wigan were relegated. The EFL’s own chairman tried to sell out all of his clubs so the top 6 clubs could have greater control and more finances of the game, just before the ESL super league plans came to light. The FA allowed Wimbledon to move to Milton Keynes, and only changed the rules preventing it from happening again after fans across the country kicked up a fuss. Ironically it was almost Luton themselves who got picked up and moved there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Luton going from top flight to non-league and back in about 35 years is some journey. Bet their fans have been through the lot. Edited May 28, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I hope Coventry are able to stick around too. The likes of them, Ipswich, Sheff Wed should be like WBA, Watford, Sunderland, Boro, Norwich where they hover between lower Premier League and Play-Off contention in the Championship.
