I think I accepted when we were relegated that I don't think we'll return to the prem

I know that's a bit morbid, but I see how we can anymore

Hull are on the brink of being relegated, while most of their squad earns over 30k a week

If they do drop, I can sense a repeat of Portsmouth/Charlton/Ipswich/Southampton happening

It's not really about being stupid, it's about clubs trying to compete with the top 4 being stupid

        This is where I don't understand. We've filled our ground for the last 10 years (Other Football) - pants, Mar 19, 17:33:50
        
        Not true. We're where we are in general because of our own appalling decisions (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Mar 19, 17:37:17

        That's cool bud. I do get where you're coming from, totally - and have worried about it (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Mar 19, 17:58:50
        
        Circa 2002, they dodged admin via a loophole. They then got worse for many years (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Mar 19, 17:56:20
