Yet another selective thread. FFS. You could just as easy said why Can’t we be like Stickport, Rochdale or Bury as they were counterparts with us not that long ago. I think I have just "twigged" what you mean Trust you to branch out rather than stay on topic.

Do you want to be like Stockport, Rochdale or Bury ? As it stands Brighton, Burnley, Norwich are playing top flight football and all 3 are comparatively similar sized clubs to ours. The OP was merely providing a benchmark that isn't impossible to achieve.

The flip side is a club who on the brink of extinction in 2003, in the fourth tier of English football and almost expelled from the league, battled back to the Championship in nine years then rose to the Premiership where they stayed for 2 seasons. In that time, besides regularly keeping season tickets affordable, the club have built new training and medical facilities and are on the brink of getting full management of the stadium. They have restructured their academy and are attracting very good young players from all over the UK and beyond!
Why can't we be like Huddersfield?

Why can't we be run like Sheffield Wednesday, Carlisle or Barrow. 3 clubs, all in the same divisions in 1969/70 as the three randoms previously selected. I don't really get what you're getting at to be honest? Most of you're posts seem to be arguing the toss with most people without giving any of your own opinion. I've never actually read any post of yours that offers opinion, debate or anything constructive. Fair enough. I'll continue to read your posts for their constructive debate. 😂😂 If you don't like my posts, don't react to them. We'll both be happier people.

Yoy saying we should have stuck with Jan? Hindsight is a wonderful thing but perhaps we'd have been better having Hudson and Whitehead in charge for the remainder of the season, accepted our inevitable relegation and started with a clean slate in the summer. But seemingly our Chairman had been tracking Wagner's replacement for years yet bears no responsibility for the shitshow that followed and gets his investment back. Bizarre. Hudson and Whitehead weren’t allowed to remain in charge because of the league regulations. You needed a UEFA Pro license if you have the job for more than 12 weeks or 10 competitive games.

Could have fudged it.... Hudson for half, then sack him and put Whitehead in charge for the rest.
