Then the next level of club eg Forest, Palace, West Ham, Everton, Wolves, Brighton. Occasional excitement, a lot of dull games if you're not directly involved. Championship looking like a better league with losing the 6 teams promoted or relegated, only Sheff U a big club out of that lot. I’ve zero interest in us ever being there, it’s dominated by bent foreign money, FFP is constantly trashed over, big clubs losing their identity, the only way to save it is to cap spending at same level for all clubs, it’s the only way to make it fair and a real competition.

Hadn’t thought of it like that, but we’ve got a fair call to say we’re a ‘bigger’ club (subjective, I know) than a few of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_Dubuis Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It took Leeds 8 years and 16 years to return to the top flight from their last two relegations.If the trend continues and this exile is doubled to 32 years there is a good chance I will be dead the next time Leeds play in the top division.Happy Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Europa tournaments are decent these days as well in that win the ECL and you get in the EL, win that and you're in the CL Get it right and Villa could be in the CL in two seasons, Brighton and West Ham one after next Definitely worth risking a bit of PL form for, and Emery certainly knows his way around the Europa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green genie Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Good article by Martin Samuel who’s about only journalist not writing solely for ‘istree clubs armchair fans clicks https://archive.ph/DQWCr Another week passes and tumbleweed continues to blow around the Manchester United takeover. It’s like an extraordinarily dull episode of Succession, with characters you feel guilty rooting for, but minus the witty dialogue, high-stakes drama or a compelling narrative. Who do you want to win, the greedy American venture capitalists, the Qatari billionaire that nobody had heard of until two months ago, or the boyhood fan in Sir Jim Ratcliffe who was so inspired by United’s glorious past he bought a season ticket at Chelsea and a football club in France?

It would be a sad day if there were rules about when you're allowed to celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty churlish towards Moyes in that article too, as though West Ham should be expecting better than midtable in the Premier League and a European final.

Marc505 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Proper venue for a European final thus, not the madness that West Ham and Fiorentina are stuck with next week. Couple of us broke into this stadium once and mooched about for a couple of hours. It's changed a lot since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
