My money would be on Fulham but if I had a choice I'd like to see Sheffield Wednesday back in the Premier League. It's been ages since someone made a joke about playing Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday. My money's on Fulham too but I'd also like Wednesday to come up because I live in Derby and, being disappointed by Derby's promotion push, I would quite like another relatively local team to come up. Leicester and Stoke are pretty local to me (West Brom at a push) and it'd be nice to add Wednesday to the list of 'easy' away trips.

Been doing some research work and it's involved looking at the ownership structures of clubs along with their CEO's, commercial directors etc. We are very, very lucky to have the people we do at the club. The flip side is Hull who have been f'ed over by the owners, have limited infrastructure around the club, their identity has nearly been taken off them (and effectively was with no mention of the clubs name in their literature), and they've sold their best players regardless of the consequences. I wouldn't trade places but I feel sorry for their fans, they feel helpless. And they were great today, appreciating the effort the manager and players have put in despite the result and the consequences. If we end up in a situation like that I hope our fans do the same.

Totally agree. I was chatting to some Hull fans on the way back and they were saying how helpless them lot feel about their owners. Really should be legislation about the ownership model of english clubs. They are just becoming playthings for the megarich, and its russian roulette as to what will happen. Good clubs like Cardiff, Hull, Coventry and Blackburn are now stuck in debts of millions, it won't be long till more are going bust.

I'm not making any particular point; just that the following from a Hull fan before yesterday's game makes interesting reading. I guess on all fan forums there are optimists and pessimists, dreamers and realists... [Predictions for Palace v Hull] "Palace 1-2 city We hadn't lost at home under silva and havent won away under Silva. I believe in these kind of stats and it is just like hull city to go and play superb at a nervy jittery palace who know full well that they Dare not lose this game. The pressure is on palace not us as we are the heavy favourites to go down anyway Surprisingly, crystal palace could be the ones to go down with boro and sunlan. Palace away at man utd last game. 18/1 for palace to go looks value for me."
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

Poor sods. If I travelled 200 miles to a must-win relegation decider and saw us give away a goal with a ridiculous blunder no sooner than I plonked my arse in my seat, followed by 90 minutes with 70% possession and zero shots on target I'd be pretty pi**ed off. Throw in shipping four goals and I'd be f***in incandescent. Edited by chateauferret (15 May 2017 8.23am) Edited by chateauferret (15 May 2017 8.24am)

And then for a few players to not even bother going over to acknowledge them at the end was adding insult to injury. Must've been a really long trip home.

To be fair to Allam he is isn't someone who just decided to throw a dart at a map and buy a club. he has lived in the Hull area for years and saved the club from administration. he has donated large amounts of money to the local hospital and also the university. Would I want him as a chairman? No, but I think it is unfair to lump him with the chancers that come over to make a few bob

Hull blew it in Summer when they didn't buy anyone and only had like 13 players fit. Getting Silva in and spending a little in January almost saved them but it was too late. Clubs need to know they can't do that kind of thing and stay up. I'm glad they went down, but still would have preferred West Ham to go down saying that!
