Me too -i blame marketing and the Premiership

The domino that led to this was flicked with the Sky money and the Premiership.

With a fair wind we might be able to survive for a few years in the prem under our current model or some luck,but I wish people would look at the other clubs around - there's got to be 50+ clubs better funded than us (practically all of the champs).

I reckon marketing, the Premiership (and the Champions League) is at fault, Football fans as a whole have bought into the idea it's fine to watch loads of matches on telly in exchange for the money to be funnelled primarily to those at the top.

The EPL breakaway protests came too late. It's already happened.
