That's not a criticism of the chairman by the way, it's just the harsh reality of where we are and it's probably the best we can ever achieve under Tony Stewart's stewardship.
You mentioned that he does himself no favours bringing it up mellow, I’m just giving a possible reason why he feels he has to say it. Hell Iv even done the self brainwashing a few times, last time being when we couldn’t win a game when we went down and I had to brainwash myself to go to each game lolQuote:

Huddersfield were 35th spending 21 million..
4 of the bottom 7 on the list have been relegated in the past 2 seasons
5 from the top 10 championship teams on the list have been promoted in the past 2 seasons....
Money. Money. Money. Tony may not have the money to get us to the PL but I'm happy for him to dream we will
It won't bother me one bit if it never happens. I'm happy and proud to be watching my team in the 2nd tier of English football. If the best we can do is merely survive, that's fine by me. This division is easily as good if not better than what the old division 1 (pre premier league) was, and better than the top divisions of many countries.
Rotherham United are in that division and it's ****ing great!
The premier league can do one.
Let’s stop the pretence of we have got a competitive budget,because for the Championship we have not,let’s stop kidding ourselves that we bid 1m for May, Bogle & Uncle Tom cobbley.Most fans know that a 1m pound player aint going to play for 5,000 a week.Stop treating fans as if we are daft.Just get on with it.
It's good that TS is more open than Booth was but I'm like you.Quote:

Im with you Lol watched them for a bit longer and dread the day when I have to stop,but as long as my legs will carry me i will be there,would turn up in a chair if i could get someone to push and i do admire the older ones who sit in the disabled area,if its in the blood you will go and Rotherham fans have it built into their genes never to be impressed by anything.Quote:
