Board are happy because this means more income for the club from the PL plus the season tickets sell out and there is a waiting list.
First season promoted, manager (or whoever) buys some new players, is plagued by injuries and other problems but continues to try to play attractive football much to the annoyance of many of those same fans who were raving about the attractive football played whilst winning the Championship and who now want the manager sacked.
Chances are that, two seasons into the plan we will be back were we started ----in the Championship, however, we wil have some young players who have played at the top level of English football and who will, hopefully, have learned from that. The only question is just how we will progress from then?
Totally agree with that Sub.
My only question would be of the team that won the Championship, have we improved them so we can sell for a profit now that the no longer feature ? We have loaned out quite a few but not sold many.
