The Greatest Season in the History of the Club?

It doesn't feel like it at the moment, 1 point from the last 9 is not a great way to finish it off.

But, the 92 from 43, was a great way to start

Best season in my lifetime, being young enough to have been a mere twinkle when we were last up at the top table.

Cant agree. Mullery going up with fewer resources in 1979 beats this season.

Bollocks. With the disparity in finance due to parachute payments, its never been harder to get out of this league, ESPECIALLY when you're complying with FFP rules which never existed in 79.

Our record signing is 4m, and we have the 9th biggest wagebill in the division. Despite that, we finished within a MINUTE of winning the thing. Going up in 79 was a huge achievement of course, but it was a much more level playing field back then.

Just look at the teams we've finished above, and their resources these days, and tell me this is less of an achievement that Mullary in 79.

I don't think any Albion supporter is not appreciative of the efforts of the team and club in getting us into the PL, however, if you are happy at the way we thew away the title after getting a 7 point lead with 3 games to go, good luck.
I for one happen to think winning the title was very important for the club as goodness knows when the next opportunity will come round

Well, I think the aim is that it will not come around again for a long time as we will be in the league above.

I can understand the disappointment, but this is the greatest achievement in the history of the club and nothing should detract from that.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Absolutely. Up to now.

If you are appreciative of the teams efforts for gaining promotion,why are you using the failure to win the Championship as a stick to beat them with.

78/9 was better, despite the recession. Especially at home.
The first three seasons in the top flight were quite good as well.

The season seemed four games too many this season.
