Look at the top half of the championship, 3/4s of them are historically bigger clubs than us.
I reckon everyone below Everton will be relegated at least once in the next 15 years.
I understand a lot of the points that are being made and the ‘old boys network is boring ‘ , but no club apart from the big 6 has EVER had continued success. Bournemouth were f*cking great 6 weeks ago, now they are sh*t.
We’d need 60-70 years of continued top flight football to up there with the big clubs.
Like the circle of life , we will be relegated , like charlton, stoke, Bolton. Maybe just enjoy that we can go to Chelsea away once a season at the minute.

Ah, sweet sweet loser talk

I'm no fan of the way Parish has been running the show in the last few years, but thank goodness he shows a bit more ambition than that!

I'm not a Parrish knocker but on the playing side there seems to be a lack of clear strategy or vision and the disappearing act of so many managers suggests he's too controlling, I hope Roy goes upstairs in the summer, a wise level headed chap and a local he could put Parrish in his place when Steve casts doubts on his manager's plans, would have a coherent strategy on player recruitment and development and I would trust him to advise when its best to spend a bit and when it's best to budget

Wilf??

In the shop window on Saturday.

Does he ? He talks a good game, but what clear ambition has he shown ?

We are just above the relegation Zone again. and are making the same mistakes in the transfer window over and over again. People keep banging on about this brilliant squad we have ?? where is it ?? we have a decent first 11, No striker worth his salt, and a Center Back in Sakho that cost a fortune but is prone to at least one howler per game.

10 Million for Sorloth FFS, come on mate even those with the rose tinted glasses on, must see that something is not right at the club.

I'm not being pessimistic I'm just pointing out that the infrastructure at the club, is as shyte as it was 8 years ago, the only common denominator is the board.

Facts are :
No nearer new ground than we were 8 years ago.
Still looking to fight of relegation after 6 seasons in the prem.
Facilities for fans especially in the Arthur wait are a disgrace.
Transfer dealings naive and borderline incompetent, leading to last minute panic buys. (Sakho Benheskey)

It can be done right, just look at Watford and Wolves, even the f***ing weed.

I love my club and my frustration is that we have a golden opportunity to become an established premiership club, but the chance is being wasted by piss poor management.
