Have you the fortitude to withstand two legs against the Ruperts followed by a day at our second home against the best team we will play all season? all in the glare of the Sky cameras.  Would love it and if we meet the Ruperts great. If we won the playoffs dreamland becomes reality and will love sticking two fingers up to the EFL. That would be perfect, we could afford better contracts for the kids who deserve it and keep those who have got us so far this season. I would shore up the weaknesses with bottom end players in case we went straight back down and if we didn't then we would be in for a second, very profitable season which may even see the new training ground and a decision on the new stadium. |

Exactly this but we need to hold the horses a little,no fuck it lets be positive bold and go where no man has gone before !!! |

Leeds in 1st are the only team in better form than us.
All 10 other teams above us are either struggling for form or being inconsistent.
Never say never!
Anyway, you started this thread Wests, so you have to take some responsibility 😎

[br Any money will be spunked on over paid new players whom when we go down will be gone at a loss. Or we do a Norwich and spend nothing,come down and ffp stops us spending it on squad. |

If we were to go up and relegated straight away without spending any of the moolah we would comfortably comply with the P&S aspect of FFP the following season. We wouldn't even need to build a SKY studio at the ground this time. |

We have an identity important we keep that whatever division we're in . Would much rather watch the likes of Bo's ,eze , hall etc than some of the recent leeches we've had in years Sandro , boswinga ,swp . Not forgetting the Ferdinand brothers that both nicked a living off us

Not forgetting the Ferdinand brothers that both nicked a living off us Diakité and M'Bia were, IMO, QPR style signings. Just a shame we were such a fucked up mess at the time. I would consider Vargas a QPR style player but not a typical QPR signing as he was already world class. |

U can all knick what I said ,but it true. We would be no better off after one prem season. Money either be in Bentleys and agents pockets,or in our bank being unable to spend because we should be paupers by rights to the powers that be.

Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton, Norwich, Fulham all examples of similar sized clubs that prove it can be achieved by running themselves intelligently and prudently. Brentford another to adopt a similar template. |
