    Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster got a reaction from richgee1976 in The big reset.   
    Strangely, now we've been saved by St. David of Clowes, I'm really pleased, in the bigger picture, that we are now in Division 1.
    Back to old school football. Back to being a big fish in a small pond. 
    We tried, under Mel to turn up at the casino that was the Championship with a big F off stack of chips to intimidate other players at the table. Spent fast and loose - and lost.
    We needed a total reset and we got one. I can't lie, it's hurt. Being threatened with extinction was a very real prospect.
    Now we've cleared the football cache and cookies, we're back to a fresh start.
    I'm still haunted by the memory of all that money we wazzed up the wall. Even the least of the excesses was Anya. £4m and and £20k a week over 4 years, ergo £8m over 4 years. There were 4 or 5 others that cost £10m+ in transfer fees and salaries over 4 year contracts.
    £60m minimum wazzed up the wall on 5 or 6 players, not to mention our merry go round of managers that resulted in the amount of debt that threatened our very existence. Covid didn't help, but the aforementioned was the real problem.
    Certain individuals that had Mel's ear and were administrators at our club were also abusing their parallel self-interests as agents to sell us pup after pup.
    Now we're back to football reality. It's amazing what team we've managed to piece together on frees and modest wages.
    Loving our new reality. We can attract decent players at this level, where if we spend within our means, which is significantly above most of our competitors, we can perform well at this level. 
    If we continue in this manner, we can grow organically.
    What's not to love? A fantastic academy that should finance our rebirth. 30,000+ crowds, that again should finance our rebirth and perversely the EFL reining us back to a financial plan that we absolutely NEEDED. Didn't want, but definitely needed.
    Oh and being rescued by the 'quiet man of football' - DC.
    What a time to be alive! I'm falling back in love with football again.
    The only way is up...

    Now we're back to football reality. It's amazing what team we've managed to piece together on frees and modest wages.
    Loving our new reality. We can attract decent players at this level, where if we spend within our means, which is significantly above most of our competitors, we can perform well at this level. 
    If we continue in this manner, we can grow organically.
    What's not to love? A fantastic academy that should finance our rebirth. 30,000+ crowds, that again should finance our rebirth and perversely the EFL reining us back to a financial plan that we absolutely NEEDED. Didn't want, but definitely needed.
    Oh and being rescued by the 'quiet man of football' - DC.
    What a time to be alive! I'm falling back in love with football again.

    Back to old school football. Back to being a big fish in a small pond. 
    We tried, under Mel to turn up at the casino that was the Championship with a big F off stack of chips to intimidate other players at the table. Spent fast and loose - and lost.
    We needed a total reset and we got one. I can't lie, it's hurt. Being threatened with extinction was a very real prospect.
    Now we've cleared the football cache and cookies, we're back to a fresh start.
    I'm still haunted by the memory of all that money we wazzed up the wall. Even the least of the excesses was Anya. £4m and and £20k a week over 4 years, ergo £8m over 4 years. There were 4 or 5 others that cost £10m+ in transfer fees and salaries over 4 year contracts.
    £60m minimum wazzed up the wall on 5 or 6 players, not to mention our merry go round of managers that resulted in the amount of debt that threatened our very existence. Covid didn't help, but the aforementioned was the real problem.
