Wolfcastle Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Its never seemed right to me that because of a postcode lottery smaller clubs in the south with lesser support will take more in than the Sheffield clubs, Boro and mackems. You don't hear much about legacy being protected in their cases or 'fair play' for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you write a history of English football you’d not be able to write it if you didn’t mention us or the Mackems or the Sheff clubs. But it’s unlikely your Glossary would troubled with references to Palace, Fulham or Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t00nt00n313 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It does being an interesting point though, without the huge overseas fan bases that London and Manchester clubs have (a large part of which is probably down to the location of those clubs) can we ever have the finances to compete even if we do get another stadium? I'd have thought that most revenue comes from sponsorship deals but the new rules have stopped us there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Respect to them. Would, indeed, be great for football if they stick with it and nab a CL spot. Would, indeed, be absolutely brilliant if we can nab one as well. #fuckthebig6rightupthecunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think we've been a bit too goody-two-shoes tbh - all for playing by the rules but we've been so compliant and meek it's not the most inspiring Go and get what we need, don't ask for permission ask for forgiveness There are a ton of precedents - Chelsea, Man U etc why we can do it. But then again I understand proper business people don't act like that with a billion dollar asset Kamikaze is dangerous, why bother taking that risk when they know they can build it properly as they are long term patient investors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They undoubtedly have a longer term strategy to get us to the top and keep us there. It's difficult when we have been shit for so long and needs patience. 4 years in and in reality might take 3-4 years more to get where they want to be. We are probably the 5th or 6th best team in league on paper and could even nab champions league with our current team this year if our form is pretty consistent. Convinced Forest and Chelsea will wobble, Man City will regain form and be there then I think Villa is the only worry and they don't look great right now. With our back four looking stronger with Botman back and enough options further up the pitch we stand a good chance on finishing 4th or 5th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 great to see Forest up there and ruffling some feathers love to see it along with Spurs and MU languishing in the bottom half my fear is this won't last, Forest will be deducted more points and the others will be able to spend their way back up the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
