    We're upper. I know we're not this year but the lowest we've finished is 12th in about 15 seasons. We're one of the biggest clubs at this level.

    I would trust Eddie Howe to turn things round, without having to spend a lot of money.
    Howe spent a shed load at Bournemouth.

    Was this before or after they were promoted to the premier league?

    They broke FFP laws to get promoted, their wage bill was enormous. They lost £38.3m the season they got promoted alone.

    that's similar to a lot of teams who go up, thanks to promotion bonuses

    Don't be silly Pearcey, that's what smart clubs do. We take pride in making bad decisions down here

    I really don’t get this progressive philosophy thing. It’s always going to be cyclical unless you are truly one of the elite teams.

    ****ing Everton and West Ham could maybe afford to be pretentious about the football that they play with their school of science shite but they have been as rudimentary as anyone over the last couple of decades.

    It’s a knock on of “modern football” and reminds me of precious indie fans leaning against the wall of The Dublin Castle In Camden sneering at any new band that doesn’t blow them away.

    We don’t need an identity for the football that we play, just for who we are.

    The only teams that I can think of that have kicked on beyond us are Leicester and Wolves.

    I’m happy enough with The Championship and the odd flirtation with The Premier League.
