yes, cna see your point, the problem is money

As has been discussed so many times before, it is all about the money now.

Also yes, many fans are obsessed with us spending money, and so the club needs to make it, I agree, and it is annoying when the same people then moan about how they do it.

Tous of malaysia etc are fine, grow the fan base somewhere else to earn extra revenue, do not, however, compromise the leagues credibitly to do that, which the 39th game did for me.

Regarding the game moving on, and the fans moving on though I think i kinda of disagree with you there.
I think that many fans don't realise the game has moved on, and clubs like ours can still compete on income alone (we have 25,000 crowds, we must be rich etc) and should be puching harder than we are.

To do that though we need a rich backer, Delia, for all her faults and attributes, is not rich by football standards.
I'm not sure i'd ever be comfortable seeing us turn into a chelsea, QPR, Man City, or be part of the problem in the game.

I suppose that's outdated now, and there is little place in the modern game for a decent sized club, run within its means, to ever actually achieve much. THe decsision is whether that's acceptable for us as fans or not.
As much as my principles says it is, eventually I'll get bored of championship football.
I'd also get bored of mid table premiership boredom though, and from knowing we'll be top 4 every single year.
