Whether you say restricted or not as competitive - I think we can all agree (surely?!) that we have a bigger disadvantage fiscally this season? Last season, even with the EFL restrictions, we had a top two wage budget. This year, we will not have that.
Listening to a pod cast with Kieran Maguire yesterday - he said the average annual wage bill in L1 was £17m, the average is the Champ a staggering £31m. That’s nearly double. And don’t get me started on the average £83k p/w for Prem players. Mind boggling. 

Getting to the Prem really will be a minor miracle. Staying possibly an even bigger one.

Don't flirt with relegation, and don't buy 5+ 30somethings to achieve that
Have the U18s & U21s kick on, and be comfortable enough in the league to give a few youngsters a proper run in the team.

Lower mid-table, a bit of a cup run, and a good kernel of a team to challenge in 2025/26 would do me

If we don’t go up or down - it doesn’t matter to me where we finish. My big hope for next season is we end the campaign with one or two (maybe even more?) players that we are excited to have at the club for the following season. A new Phil Gee, a Paulo Wanchope - Christ - even a Jeff Chandler. Give me hope and belief!

You can thank me later, but there is a young midfielder at Bristol City that looks decent - not made a first team appearance for them yet, so could get him on the cheap. 
 
I’ll do some research and see if I can get his name…..

Two strange things today that you just know in your gut are meant ,,,, I rarely look at the video screen , I don’t know why I looked but I did and there it was ,,,, be more B4 and a short while later I looked over again and I saw a solitary ballon floating high above the stand above the video screen ,, don’t give a poop if anybody thinks I’m a soppy old bugger or it’s just coincidental,,, but when you know you know ,,, thanks for being around us all B4 ❤️

Daniel day is now a thing. Thank you B4 ❤️

Daniel day is now a thing. Thank you B4 ❤️

Oof. Why do messages to someone I’ve never met, from people I don’t know, and thanks from a sibling who is a stranger to me - make me sob like a child?! 
 
When the Rams are up this afternoon - this should be recorded as Daniel’s day forever more.
