The past!!!

[daveyboy1973]

Why do people keep going on about the past and where we come from? Are we gonna be saying that forever? We all know what we've been through!!! The point is we have the highest attendances outside of the premier league which must surely also mean the highest match day revenue and all everybody in the club goes on about is ffp! We have sold players worth millions over the last 18 months and not replaced any where near of the same quality. I think most supporters are concerned with the lack of investment on the playing side and the fact every season we seem to be feeding on scraps! Yes we made the play offs last year but I personally thought we went backwards, the style of play was shocking and at the Amex the football was garbage, this year whilst it's only been friendlies it would seem once again we've gone backwards!!! The season starts in a week and I understand it's difficult to get players in etc etc but this isn't a league where you wanna be playing catch up!!! I think if this premier league dream is to become reality then the time for talking is over and we now need to see some real intent !!!

We absolutely will be playing catch up from September 1st, and that's fine by most of NSC, they seem to forget how close it can be at the top and how much every point counts.

Edit: don't wanna be playing catch up

Championship history is littered with clubs that started slowly and then caught fire later in the season. Reading and Palace are two recent examples, both starting serious challenges around Christmas. Squads take time to take shape. Sometimes, one new face can make a big difference or returns from injuries. We had to play catch up last season after one of the worst injury crises in recent memory. Fans seem to forget that we played week after week with only Barnes upfront and many posters on here were writing off our play-off chances.
I would rather we finished strongly than started at a rush like 2011-12 and then fell away badly in the run-in. We are going to have to be patient. It will be a slow start but lets see the squad composition on the 1st September before rushing to judge the season too quickly.

And the £14m loss we made in the last reported financial year?

Parachute Payments?

Leeds actually have the highest non-parachute payment income in the league. How are they getting on?

And also when your recent past includes nearly going out of business (i.e having no football club) don't you think it's pretty understandable that much of the support is quite keen to see that not happen again?

 

[Dick Head]

This time last year we'd only had our new manager (Head Coach) for a week.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

But are we actually any better off for having had this one in for longer?

Lol, there is a big difference between wanting to strengthen the squad by August 9th and not caring if we go out of existence.

That's not the point I was making. To be clear

Highest crowds doesn't equal highest budget
We're losing money
Personally I think it's good that a large section of support remember the lessons of the past

I am not saying that we shouldn't strengthen but we have to be realistic - TB has already spent a hell of a lot of his own money, that tap has to and will stop at some point.

Erm, he was appointed on 26th June 2013

That's what I said, wasn't it?

 

[Stat Brother]

Do you know what we were all doing in 'the good old days'?


We were moaning about the FACT that they weren't as good as 'the good old days'.
