this club will never be an established Prem team again

the current financial structure of football won't allow it without a mega-rich sugar daddy (and our out-of-the-way geographical location makes as an unlikely target for one). And the climate will get tougher for clubs like us not easier. We are a Championship-size club with Championship resources. People who can't accept that should sod off and support Chelsea or Man U. Obviously we have to AIM for Prem status but let's not confuse that with frankly unrealistic expectations.
