Wonder if that's actually true. I'd like to see how our budget was for our first season there compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 but the majority of those clubs have been invested in...sorry to rain on the parade... Indeed. Blackpool (invested in at the start and will probably go down anyway), City, Brighton and relative to their position Wimbledon have spent their way up. Norwich are in the position they should be (between division 1 and 2). We'll se how Bournemouth fair next year. My guess is they'll be contending with us at the wrong end of the table. I'm afraid, money talks. We have none and are destined for things in the opposite direction. Some new grounds and cheaper entrance if that helps?

I'm still just very happy that 'massive' Luton stayed down. I don't think we are doubting that these teams have done well, but they haven't done it on nothing. The nearest to it are Bournemouth and they didn't win :censored:. They are in the same position as us come the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think you can claim Rochdale and Accy Stan as success stories. 2 of the smallest teams in the league have had very good seasons. I know Dale ain't well liked on here but they have exceeded expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
