One more point |

The entertainment value of watching palace is zero but there’s no guarantee we would be the great entertainers of the championship we could easily become a Sheffield Wednesday or a Sunderland my biggest disappointment is the lack of progress on improving the ground it’s a dump at the moment
walking down the holmesdale road to see the palace aces! |

How many of the best/ biggest games have been in the premier league ? I totally get that premier league life isn't the fun we hoped it'd be, but hoping to go back down (even on a yo-yo basis) is like trying to recapture your youth. You can do the same stuff again that you used to, but it won't be the same because you've already found out where it all leads to. The mystery, novelty, and the dreamlike potential of the great unknown can't be recreated. Edited by TheBigToePunt (15 May 2021 10.51pm)

I’d be over the moon if we had a couple of seasons in the top league (full houses, get to do the big away grounds) then get relegated (get to see loads more goals/wins, do a few of the championship away grounds). I know promotion isn’t guaranteed/easy , but if we could spend a few years in each league it would be ideal for me. Get the parachute payments, play millwall/charlton as well as maybe winning a league, play off finals.
I follow footy for entertainment, not for my teams bank balance. Just surviving each season is boring behind belief.

We need to be careful when wishing to go down. I believe that there is a top six in each league. League Two winners can be expected to be fired up when meeting the cream of a higher league, or those relegated to the league to which they have been promoted. If only the cherry picking that has been started with Eze, and the U23 and U18 performances could be continued for the senior team all would become better.

Agreed but that’s not because of the division we’re in it’s down to RH and his tactics. He has no ambition other than survival and that’s the missing denominator when compared to being in the Championship. In the Championship you have the ambition to get promotion and because of the playoffs the chance and excitement of that can last up to the end of the season. Not all RH’s fault granted, with little financial backup from the board. However we should at least have the genuine ambition for European football or at least a Cup Final however RH knows if he plays his park the bus way and concentrates solely on survival in the Prem, statistically he will just gain enough points to achieve his goal We need to risk more, have more ambition or of course things in the Prem will be tedious ...Time for a young , hungry motivational manager
