Oh Dear shades of furrymouse again.

Time to kiss and make up.

We all want to see our Club recover from this situation before everything finally goes tits up.

I also agree with the sentiment that life might be more to our liking in the Championship. At least it's a relatively level playing field down there.
The main disadvantage is the loss of finances and our ability to attract the players that might take us back up again.

I recently read somewhere that the Championship is the third best supported league in Europe behind only the Prem and La Liga. (spelling?).

Interesting that its better attended than the top leagues in Italy and Germany.

ANYWAY, LIGHTEN UP YOU TWO, LIFE'S TO BL***Y SHORT.

Silver, please don't let yourself down with statements like the one I have highlighted!!!! The Championship might be a level playing field for those teams who haven't been in the prem for a few years, but the 3 relegated teams get a massive advantage for failing in the Prem in the form of parachute payments!! For the first season following relegation you would get 50m quid and over 4 years somewhere in the region of 100m!!! That is on top of the money you will geet from normal club activities. On the other hand we will only get a couple of million from the tv deal!!! The parachute payments you would get would be double our total revenue!!!!

So while I get it can be tough for Prem teams to adjust and get rid of the expensive deadwood, lets not claim you will be on a level playing field with other clubs of a similar size who are not paid for failure!!
