Fwiw, I think it will eventually happen but if anyone is going to balls it up other than us, its them.

They cudnt even win owt when they were the "Chelsea" of the 90s ffs with Hall/Shepherd squillions. Yes they will tell anyone that will listen that they had a good time and saw some exciting football, but the bottom line is, they won FA.
Why will it be different this time around ?
Fun ahead either way imho.

One of the main red flags for the Premier League was the involvement of the Saudi Crown Prince. The investment group told the Premier League that he had nothing to do with them and tried to show them proof that this was the case. The Premier League rejected this evidence. That is one of the big reasons why they're apparently going to fight it.

Just the other week the person that they tried to tell the Premier League that had nothing to do with them did a statement stating how they plan on going forward as an investment group.
He is also listed as the chairman of PIF.

Virtually every time I watch Fulham, I am impressed. If any one of the bottom 3 is going to escape , it's them. And now they've got Josh to finish things off which Mitrovic hadn't been doing.

BSA's 3 mill survival bonus has gone imho. He needed to sign a Kone as that defence is poor tho the centre forward looks dangerous. Maitland Miles is decent, but got no idea about the Spanish guy.

Sheff United have also looked decent most times I've watched them. They always have a go, but they should have gone for a recognised striker instead of Brewster. They are gone but will certainly surpass 15 and 19 points.

To me, the Mags survival hinges on ASM. If he gets crocked, they are fooked big time. Was excellent v Soton and nearly always looks a handful. Wilson is a big miss for the next 6/8 games, but with ASM, they always have a chance of creating something.

Could be tighter than we think, but if we somehow managed to stumble in to the Champeenship, do we really want to play them in our weak as piss state hmmmm ??

They weren't like, virtually full strength as mostvrll recovered after missing previous game.

I always worry about that. I'd be amazed if we had a side that was close to being as good as theirs if we went up and they went down. Obviously we don't know who we'll sign in the summer and how much we'd spend plus who would they lose but reality is they would have a better squad. Anything can happen in a one off game but far more often than not the better players win

Look at what can happen when you go down (see us). You can go into complete free fall.

if we went up and the filth came down it’ll be a lot more of a level playing field than people think.
I say bring it on the black and white twats.

I can't see us going up this season. We are far too inconsistent. If we do go up it'll be a massive struggle next season.

Last time they came down they spent 40 million in proven top quality Championship players. I very much doubt we'd be able to compete with that
 
Fulham have Burnley and Sheff Utd in their next 2 games, win them both and they will close the gap tremendously as I can’t see the mags winning tonight or at Man Utd next week.

Still think the mags will be ok, unfortunately.
 
They'd be well advised not to become complacent, however, they'll not be relegated.

They'll probably get 3 or 4 wins that will steer them clear. They usually manage this, then rinse and repeat the season after.

TBH I want them to stay in the PL. If they get relegated and we get promoted, I'd hate playing them, as their squad (first team) will be streets ahead of ours, unless KLD spends millions upon millions in player recruitment.

Well what’s he going to do like ? Spend nothing ?

He may spend a bit on the pitch, on the academy, on having the right people in place to run the club from the ground up. I seriously doubt he's going to be throwing 30, 40, 50 million or whatever on player recruitment when the club is in no position to afford it at all.
