How is it overstated? How much do we invest in our academy per year for example compared to what other teams are spending on their squad? The amount we invest in our infrastructure should give us an automatic advantage straight away.


Quite afew there is the 90s if you look below. 3 teams breaking 100 in the last decade. The think the advantage comes when you look at our infrastructure compared to the rest of the league.
My point was that for every 1 team that you don't need to hammer the league to get promoted. And that's all I'm really after at the moment.

All depends if we get investment at the end of the season really.
 
Pearson went to the Premier League a month later, Cook was successfully managing in the Championship and Stendel went on to relegate one of the biggest clubs in Scotland, winning 15% of his league games.

You're always going to be disappointed if your expectations are totally ridiculous.

So our expectations should stretch as far as Phil f***ing Parkinson?
 
That's hugely overstated. Along with the highest revenue, we also have the highest overheads by roughly the same factor. Non-playing overheads were well over £20m when Donald arrived. We had some scope to offer higher wages, but even that is no longer there. The only new advantage may be that, once crowds are back, the wage cap will see us running at a trading surplus. That would allow a transfer budget, but would anyone with much more than a nominal transfer fee come for £2k/week or thereabouts?

This. Plus we wasted a great deal of what we had earlier as a financial advantage on a single player. *facepalm*
 
I’d say we’re in another league compared to those 3 teams for infrastructure and a good 3 ahead of Peterborough.

Describe how our supposed 'infrastructure' is going to give us an advantage over those clubs this seasons. It hasn't allowed us to spend the money Peterborough and now Charlton have had in the summer and Ipswich and Hull have a squad of players every bit as strong as ours and players that have more recently played at a higher level. Of course we still have a strong advantage over most of the league but we aren't alone. As mentioned previously we are hampered by a large wage bill and have larger overheads than all of these clubs.

Makes you wonder why we have spunked so much of this wage bill on O'Brien doesn't it?
 
you seem to only ever post these days to deflect from any criticism of Parky. A very weird hobby to take up.

Well I do post to support my view of things as they stand at a particularly time which is the exact purpose of a message board. It seems as if you support a manager with a good record this season, this calendar year and in this division as a whole then you are treat as abnormal :lol: I criticise him as well. I thought his team selection leaving Flanagan out was completely wrong, he doesn't change things after a win even if there is a strong case to, i wish he would give more opportunities to the younger players. However I will always defend any manager or player against over the top unwarranted criticism which he gets at times IMO.

Nice summary. That's largely represents my view too.
