And all that's fine but where to from here?
Is going down an inevitability?
If so, SD will be gone soon. I would be very interested in your views on how the club could advance this seemingly impossible dilema.


I think you sum up our dilemma fairly well Blue, although of course there are numerous bigger clubs than us who would love to have our dilemma.

We are certainly not an established PL club and we never will be, we are always going to be one season away from relegation, which I believe is inevitable probably sooner rather than later.

I don't think there's any way we can advance from our current situation, right now is probably as good as it can ever get for us. I don't think Mr Garlick or the Board have discovered any magic formula that ensures our success, what they have done is chance upon an exceptional manager in Sean Dyche, and when he departs we'll depart the PL soon afterwards, Academy status, new owners notwithstanding, they'll be like ear-rings on a pig, they'll make no difference.

In the short term I just hope Garlick can do enough to keep Sean happy for a while, we're an anomaly in the PL, our continued success and survival is predicated on Dyche staying in post. Once he goes all bets are off.
