One Albion fan called in to say he would rather we played pretty football in Division 1 than watch the current style of play in the Premier League.
Many called in to say clubs such as Bolton, Portsmouth etc would love to swap pretty football for being in the Premiership. Be careful what you ask for.
Maybe we can do a deal with you, we will happily watch crap football in the Premier League!!!! It's been 15 years now since we were up in the top flight but we finally have a wealthy owner and we are starting our journey back, but if some of your fans want to just circumvent the formalities of promotion and relegation then can someone pass on the number of the Hillsborough switchboard to Jeremy please??
Seriously, I accept that some fans of football in general think the game has sold its soul to Sky and the Premier League, most fans still want to see their team in the top flight on a consistent basis but unfortunately once you drop out of the top flight it is so hard to get back up again!! The parachute payment help for sure but the championship is not where you want to be. Keep faith with Pulis, it won't be pretty but you will likely stay up.
