Tough question Des.

Even if we were to go back down this season, we'd have a plan and hopefully a sense that we would be so much better prepared to come straight back up.

I would guess we had a plan A if we went up and a plan B if we stayed down. In fact I think Purslow said that. So I would imagine there is something like a plan A, B and C for next season regarding European qualification, mid table security/staying up and relegation. The relegation plan obviously being how best to come straight back up. Surely you should have a general plan for all eventualities. That isn't being negative it is being sensible.

I wish Purslow or the new owners would crack on with their Twitter accounts and start sending us cryptic hieroglyphs again. And maybe reassuring us that we'll be bigger than Barcelona in a few years.

I’d much prefer they show us, rather than tell us. Like so many had before them. Top five in the world and all that crap.

I see references to Unibet and 32Red have disappeared from the official website.
I presume a new shirt sponsor is incoming.

I am sure that any deal is commensurate with our new standing.

So glad Pukka are our Pastry partner  ::)

I remember seeing once (Insert some obscure farm machinery company from the back of nowhere) as being the official Tractor provider to Manchester United.

Well I guess every club need a tractor provider

Modern football finances eh  ::)

Boring farmer alert. Mrs Rodders has a golf course on her farm in Scotland and mowing, harrowing, rolling, draining, brushing, fertilising and weed-killing need to happen on a facility like Bodymoor Heath just as much as they do for the stick and ball merchants. Just imagine the army of groundskeepers required if the club didn't own a tractor or two!

Agreed. I recall last summer there was criticism from some on here for sticking with bruce, I still believe they were right to do that as it allowed them to get settled and formulate a longer term plan, rather than going in half-baked.

This last year has been the most professional, clinical and thoroughly bloody enjoyable I can remember. It feels like the whole club is working together, long may it continue.

It's not the x factor....It's the V factor.
