Preseason optimism

[SBRed48]

When I was growing up if I had a pound for every person who said to me "tha daft watching them they don't want to go up"I'd have been a very rich man.The future is why everyone survives the unknown keeps people going and interested in whats going to happen.Some of the things posted on here about whats going to happen like administration ,the owners taking money and running just haven't happened but no one admits there wrong.Like when we signed Pinnock some of the posts were quite disgusting "we're going backwards buying non league rubbish etc "then the same people slate the board for selling him.I think every signing the club have made has been rubbished before people have even seen them.I know one thing i wouldn't swap any of our young players for some over rated over paid experienced pros.
In the cold light of day you could argue that without Wigans points deduction we would have been relegated and thats a fact,its also a fact if the EFL would have acted sooner in punishing the cheating clubs we wouldn't have been relegated anyway.

No one wo saying "The dun't want to go up" under Stendel's promotion campaign.

No one's saying we are likely to go into administration. If income exceeds expenditure the result is happiness.

The present owners took the money and ran from OGC Nice but little scope for that here at the moment.

I would swap Marc Roberts for Bambo Diaby, Glen Whelan for Patrick Schmidt, Dwight Gayle for Jordan Green and many more older players for many of our youngsters. Even our owners may be beginning to realise you need some experience to avoid continual fights against relegation. The possible new Austrian is 27 in two weeks.

In our last eleven Championship seasons the facts are we have finished 21st, 22nd,14th, 23rd, 21st, 21st,17th, 18th, 20th, 19th, and 20th. With the squad we are likely to have this coming season it is realistic to think little will change.
