I gave up my ST after one year of the prem last time. Too expensive, not enough games that I could go and see. Now since countries have been allowed to run clubs has made it far worse. Add VAR which takes all the fun out of scoring a goal, which is the whole point of the game really.
I gave mine up the year we got promoted. I could see the writing on the wall even then. I’m not even sure I like the championship model either, it seems like a PL lite.
And that’s what we face next season, some teams , gambling with parachute payment money, paying just above mediocre players in excess of forty grand a year! With our current regime we cannot compete with that, nor should we try. It’s suicide. Build around our current strengths, if our manager can maintain that togetherness in the squad and bring in three or four better quality players we will do fine. Young , hungry players with a point to prove being far preferable to average, overpaid, been in the Premier league for one season but got relegated big time Charlie’s. We could do a lot worse than recruit players we rated that we played against in league one!
