Think of the ‘big’ clubs languishing like beached whales for decades

Forest, Derby, Sheff W, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Scum, Bolton, Bristol City…the list is endless.
Every season outside of the EPL or not getting parachute payments from same leaves them further and further away from ever playing their again.
Like village shops competing with superstores as the latter become still larger.
I’d take our situtation and general feeling of support from the majority of fans any day of the week over what’s happening to Derby or Forest.
