Maybe I'm a bit cynical, and I do think that McNasty is far, FAR more competent than Doomy

But it was all smoke and mirrors last time. We were all told that the Prem was the land of milk and honey, and we got there, and then we were told that it had actually made our financial position WORSE because of all the extra costs associated with promotion

So if we went up, I wouldn't be counting any chickens for a while
