Yellow since 1977 0 Posted May 11, 2014 Largest average crowd, highest income with parachute payments. So please let''s act like it, keep our key players, invest in new talent and secure the right manager. We must see relegation as a blip in the plan to become a permanent premiership team.

Fuzzar 1,701 Posted May 11, 2014 Fulham and Cardiff have more money at their disposal than us for a start. And that generally has more bearing on where a club finishes.I agree with the sentiment obviously, but I definitely don''t think we are the biggest fish in the Championship.

Kangaroo Court 0 Posted May 11, 2014 It''s quite unusual for a relegated team to go straight back up. I think we made the same mistakes that QPR made - buying in too many new players in one season and losing our identity (as Russ Martin put it) - so it wouldn''t surprise me if we had the same kind of season QPR are now having.

splutcho 160 Posted May 11, 2014 We won''t be the biggest club in the Championship, you''re delusional if you genuinely think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worsethandeath 0 Posted May 11, 2014 Brighton were getting 27-28.000+ average this year. Unless something changes they will have the highest average attendances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromage Frais 10 Posted May 11, 2014 One of our issues was that we have to many championship quality players.Ergo next year we have a very good championship team.I don''t agree we are the largest club as that comes done to whatever metric you use to define "biggest"As for Cardiff an Fulham a lot will depend on their players etc etc the next few months will give a better impression.

kingsway 94 Posted May 11, 2014 We won''t be the biggest club in the Championship but we will be one of the best equipped!We are debt free, will have some of the Premiership money from this season (�60M+), will have the parachute money, will have money from the enevitable sale of a few of our present squad and will have some of the biggest crowds in the Division!The sentiment is true though, get the right manager in quickly, like next week, do the right things like sign the right players and we should be able to challenge strongly!

lake district canary 4,520 Posted May 11, 2014 Size is irrelevant (so my wife tells me [:S] ) and it is more about not expecting too much - or indeed expecting too little. We just have to accept what happens and if it leads to the play offs or straight promotion, we will have had a very good season. The championship under Lambert was incredible from that point of view - we had no great expectations of going up, but we had no fear of going down either and softly softly through the season we built up momentum. That is what I will hope for again - not a flash start beating everyone in sight then dropping back, nor a poor season with a frantic push to get in the playoffs.
