CaptnCanary 0 Posted January 1, 2011 The world has a funny way of having things work out in a way that is less believable than a film script!I was thinking this afternoon about what could happen at the end of this season. And although I would love us to get automatic promotion, I can just see us in a playoff final against Leeds. That would mean 1 team getting back to back promotions and I can''t remember that happening since Swindon??? If offered that chance I would take it now. Anybody else thing so?

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted January 1, 2011 Back to back promotions = relegation. No flippin point in getting promotion to the Prem for a couple of years. Has no-one thought this through? Morons![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many teams had that pot of gold, blew it on players in an attempt to stay in the division, and are now utterly ruined. Pompey, Hull, Leicester, Watford, Leeds are all clubs that got drawn into the "consolidate in the premiership" game, and it''s going to take (or, in Leeds'' case, has taken) a long time to get back on an even keel.

Has no-one thought this through? Morons![:@][/quote]Slim, your view is absolute claptrap. If we don ''t get promoted this year, the rule changes in Premier League funding mean that it will be impossible to compete with any club that gets relegated from the Premier league, as the increased parachute payments will be worth a 20 point start. Being a yo-yo club will be better than battling against the constraints that our current debt position puts us in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has no-one thought this through? Morons![:@][/quote]I am fully aware that promotion this year would mean almost certain relegation the next year. But I have faith in the current directors to ensure that a promotion wipes out the debt of the club once and for all and puts us on a far more competitive footing for the future, without huge annual interest payments. And maybe, just maybe, Lambert could see us survive for a season or more.I also may have forgotten a couple of teams to get back to back promotions, but my main question was, does anybody else think the film script scenario would see us up against Leeds in the playoff finals and does anybody think this will actually happen?

Yellow Rose of Texas 0 Posted January 1, 2011 I will offer you a better scenario. We go up as Champs, Leeds second and Millwall win the playoff final... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 2, 2011 If we''re good enough we''ll go up none of this "to early to go up" bull! Blackpool would still be in League 1 if they had that atitude! With Lambert, if we went up Premiership survival would certainly be possible albeit difficult. - Afterall how many Norwich fans at the end of last season were going on about how many new players we''d need to be able to survive in the Championship and that most of the team would have to be changed? - More than a few I remember!
