    The club would not be out of place in the Premier League
    The team that the club would invest in might be
    Some of the fans of the club might also be

    Being in the Premier League is apparently worth £170 million per season, even Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Watford can and have spent £15 - £20 million on a player
    Just think about that figure for a second.......£170 million..........even we'd manage to sign a £2 million player with that kind of money coming in.
    We'd still end up skint though for some strange reason that nobody would be able to understand

    Exactly JJ , the team that gets you up is not the team that plays in the PL.

    You spend money but don't sign daft contracts. You do your utmost to stay up but, if the worst comes to the worst, you've got enough left to challenge meaningfully to get back up , maybe a couple of yo-yo seasons then you consolidate.

    It's not a new business model, it's common sense.

    We've had over a decade to learn that lesson. We've got an upcoming, bright, savvy maanager and, last but not least Robson's no longer around ( is he?????)
