I think that Clowes knows far more than a lot of folks on here profess to know about our budget

Ignore me I just grow weary sometimes of the same hackneyed cliches being trapped out on here (present company excepted) When I read comments about our budget in League 1 or whatever DC said or didn't say then the phone nearly went through the window. Am sure this debate started a year ago. It's like playing chess by post with someone living in Antarctica.

You've made it patently clear through a number of your posts that you believe getting rid of Rosenoir in favour of Warne was a big mistake. It's done whatever you or I think about it and how many times you bring it up ain't going to change things one iota. If you're unhappy about the decision write a strongly worded letter to Clowes if you haven't done already but banging on about it isn't going to alter where we are now.

No but you seem to have some real problem with letting go of the past. Move on.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Rosenior ain't coming back any time soon #getoverit #stoplivinginthepast #moveon

The worst football I've ever seen fact was under Cocu when he contrived to play a system which I assume was meant to bore the opposition players so much that they fell asleep and allowed us to advance up the pitch unhindered and score. Only it didn't work. Apart from being boring. And it wouldn't have mattered whom the opposition were or what division they were in as would still be crap. It was that effective that he got bulleted when we were what bottom of the Championship? In this context I find it weird reading the comments about the worst football I can remember under Warne. Unless the same posters have had a good old dose of brain bleach. Or it doesn't suit their narratives. Whatever.

Should try fake tan instead of the UV lights

If his record was as equally good in League 1 than as bad in the Championship then surely he would have 3 promotions and 3 relegations against his name.

3 promotions 2 relegations

You know that's not true......

"The idea that Warne is some impoverished coach with no resources and a begging bowl is utter nonsense. Our wage bill (even on our business plan), pulling power as a club (purely on size), facilities etc eclipse the rest of the division with maybe one or two exceptions." Despite the above we were still outbid for a player by another team in this league. So obviously all of the advantages you listed counted for nowt.

Am sure I could hear some faint praise of Warne through those gritted teeth...

I thought that was patently obvious.

No in the context of 3 back to back promotions from this division? If this is quite successful what's very or extremely successful and which other manager(s) has obtained these credentials?

It probably will be. A legacy of whose?

How sad but true

Just making the point that transfer fees out trump training facilities, our huge history and fanbase etc etc which you mentioned in your original post. And obviously we don't have the resources of other league 1 clubs if one has outbid us for a player we were in for.

Quite successful.....3 promotions from this division. What would you classify as very successful. Or extremely successful.

Maybe when he gets us promoted and he keeps us up then the goalposts will shift a little more.

Interesting how the dynamics of the argument has shifted by the same posters from a few months ago with Warne won't get us promoted to now Warne won't be able to keep us in the Championship (assuming therefore that he will have got us promoted)

That was my point. We're not dissimilar from a whole host of other league clubs by turning over losses on a regular basis. Why did the chairman of those teams acquire those clubs? Am sure Clowes didn't need reminding of the harsh reality of this when he bought the club, but the money has to come from somewhere like other league clubs or we fold again. It's that simple.

You mentioned the recent trend wasn't positive that's all which is what 11 wins out of 14 or 15 games? If that's not a positive trend then I'm sure even David Brent would find it hard to argue against that one.

I thought that footy fans turned up to see their team win. Again that's just a generalisation to match yours.

Which football clubs outside of the Premier League make a YOY operational profit
