Great start but lets be honest,it's unlikely we will be anywhere near to where we are currently.
I would love to be proven wrong but a few seasons of tony mowbray have proved to me,he isn't the answer.
The only way we will going up is by unearthing a under the radar manager who has a magic touch.
Brentford found one(even though I am not a fan of his)
Barnsley now West brom have one.
To be fair Norwich have one and of course Burnley stumbled across one.
Managers who can get the very best out of what they have is pretty rare but they are out there.
That’s the issue for me. And where I lost interest. So eventually they stumble ....as that’s exactly what it is .....on a manager that gets them up. We can’t compete. It’s not a league set up for that.
It’s no fun being a Norwich fan. Stroll our league untouched. But will go back down. So at best ....it’s up and down.
All they do is bank the money, don’t invest as they simply can’t compete. And carry on. Up ....then down.
Burnley ....don’t be fooled. Most of them are completely. All they are is mediocre in a league up from us. They are fed up with the dire football. The crowds are down. And they are disillusioned as they, like Norwich, not investing any of the millions they make into the football team. Yes they do tremendously well to stay up. But that’s it. Just staying up. Not going anywhere.

We are stable. But in a perilous position behind the scenes. Unlike those clubs above. we have no income.
But when they come down because they aren’t good enough, they come down with £145m more than us. And we are expected to compete with that. And every season we hold our own. It’s mediocre, but it’s stable. And as good as it gets. For a club with no income it’s actually not bad at all. Bigger clubs are far worse off and will go down this season.
They keep changing managers. That’s the common theme.
The few managers you mentioned represent only 1% it’s the 99% that don’t work that is important. Chopping and changing until you .....stumble .....as that is what it would be .....upon a great manager like say Burnley have. I would question the point of it. Be like Burnley or Norwich? Take away the money, which neither fan of any club benefits from in any way, who is better off?
