Wolves have done great but I forgot how long it took them to sort themselves out.

    Can't see where anyone has said going down is a good thing. If you are content with mid table mediocrity then that is your opinion, one I both understand and respect.
    There is one massive flaw in your arguement. In the modern day Premier League a club can't build on mid table (Leics City excepted.) All but the top 6 or 7 are simply queueing up to be relegated. It was only a matter of time before we got things wrong and it was our turn to be relegated.
    So the stats don't shut my mouth.
    Just to be clear once again. I'm not happy to be relegated but I do believe a season in the Championship gives me a better opportunity of seeing some exciting football from my team.
    What I don't get all this acceptance of it has to be doom and gloom for a near future. Let's hope I'm right.

    It will be doom and gloom if Rondon is still around as the goal posts in the championship are still the same size. Two games a week would also knacker some of our squad out. Livermore will be Russia bound in the Summer thinking of his options but hope he tries to rob a cab whilst there, so he does not come back! At least Chadli won't have to think of any pre-season hills as he no doubt, will still be in the physio room of another premiership club!

    I see Odemgreedie is back for the charity match wearing our beloved stripes - any chance anyone can offer him a brown envelope so he can polish his boots to come back for the championship. Just a thought but at least he knew you stuck the ball in between the two white posts. So Salomon if you are reading - "meter la pelota entre los dos postes blancos que tu madre folla"

    Pardew still believes and this belief has ignited further with the exciting news that Robson Kanu might be making a come back this Saturday! On that note Blood - increase your ticket price to £30 as it might be a sell out

    It is relying on hope thats for sure, but wolves 10 seasons to come back and thats ok? not mouth shutting? You just said one season in the championship? It took wolves 10, why do you think after we lose the spine of our team and HOPEFULLY get a manager who does something we will be back in one season? It is largely doom and gloom. Mid table prem is obviously better than a league lower.

    Sorry boingy I didn't me an to infer that I was assuming one season in the Champ. if you look at earlier post I said we could finish anywhere between 1st and 24th.
    The dozen teams above us have all been in the lower leagues in the last 10 seasons and got back in the Prem. Why oh why fixate on the teams who have failed and not the ones who have succeeded. There are plenty of examples. So my mouth is not shut but somewhat agape at your thoroughly miserable outlook for our team.
    Chin up pal it might never happen. And if it does I'll worry about it then

    Maybe I've spent too long expecting the best. This club always shoots itself in the foot. No Ambition. The fans have plenty. The fans dont make the decisions unfortunately.
