DA had two opportunities to invest in a bid for the Championship - when Sheridan took us up from Div 2 to Div 1, and when Paul Cook built us a play-off level team. He let 34 goals go from Sheridan's team, invested nothing to replace them and we were relegated, and he obviously made it clear to Paul Cook that there wasn't the cash either to keep players, or to bring in improvements ........
Yeovil couldn't afford the Championship. It is a town of under 40,000 people.
Blackpool were in the Premiership not the Championship. MKD didn't come straight back down from the Championship. They challenged for promotion in between .......... They'll go straight back up next season.
Whether we could be viable as a Championship team is a moot point. The size of the town suggests we couldn't get gates regularly above 10,000. We can imagine other income streams ......... but would DA help us along the way to securing them or would he act as a road-block to prevent his personal power being eroded?
It seems to me we are just an expensive pawn in the games he likes to play. I don't think he intended us to go down again, but I certainly don't think he ever envisaged us as a Championship club either.
