Title: "Soccerex 100"
Post by: maidstonevillain on January 04, 2018, 11:37:49 AM

The days of aspiring to be a "top 20" club seem now to be a long time ago. May be we should just aim to catch Brighton.

Haven't got a clue what this is but to see Tottenham in 5th is galling.  We were so much better than them in every aspect 10 years ago.

It's not really surprising though is it? We're in the Championship. It's reality. Get back up, with the revenues that will bring plus the revenues it should generate will see us move up that table quickly. Until then be happy after 8 years now of mediocrity or worse to be in the top 100.

Sunderland are the only other English team in the championship in that top 100 and that’s because they were relegated a year later so have about £140m on us so as has been said not bad considering how poor we’ve been.

Another season in the championship next year would push us into absolute obscurity on these measures.
