what has Adie Boothroyd got to do with it?

he got promoted playing fairly long ball football, has virtually no money to spend compared to established Prem teams and so is almost certainly going to get relegated? What has he done that Worthy didn't?

We strive to be the best we can be. Unfortuantely financial factors mean that without a sugar daddy there is a realistic limit to what that is. Look at Charlton - 6 years in the Prem - a huge success story for a club without big resources and the model for us and our ilk - have they qualified for Europe? No. Reached a Cup Final? No. Even matching them would be a phenomenal achievement, but it would still be way below 92/3 and 93/4. It can't be done again by the likes of us. If you can't see that you're in for a lot of disappointment.
