A question of identity.

[the other bob wilson]

Struck a chord with me for different reasons. Not so much about identity but more about the futility of chasing the impossible dream. Other than the once in a lifetime Leicester scenario what chance have any club outside the top 6 got of ‘winning’ in the future without the intervention of a sugar daddy owner?

Next to zero is the answer.

But I think it's a fair point to say that in the absence of any realistic chance of winning, or even finishing in the top quarter, of the league you are competing in, things like what is being described as an identity for your club become more important.

My attitude last season was that I could take the attritional type of game we played because it was achieving the desired result of promotion, but, if we were ever to establish ourselves in this division to the extent that we would, in effect, start each season contesting for a finishing position of, say, between seventh and fourteenth, then I would want to see more football being played for my season ticket money.
