Same old, Same old

[RAMtastic]

Not quite sure what I'm trying to say here but looking back at our records for the last few years (omitting the disaster that was the Premier League debacle).

Apart from two stand out seasons when we finished 4th and 3rd the stats look depressingly similar to this year. I get the feeling that this highlights that we are a club that has suffered from years of lack of investment and the way things are going I cannot see anything changing in the near future

This is not a dig at the current regime (board or manager) but it seems clear to me that unless we get some serious investment soon this pattern is not going to change and we better get used to languishing in 18th or 2oth position.

Before I get slaughtered for being a wrist slasher, this is not looking at the glass half full just an honest assessment of where we are going based on where we have been for the last few years.

Trouble is Ramtastic we are still paying for our season in the prem, come the summer there needs to big big changes but the board keep saying it's a slow process so not expecting much better next season really.

We might finish 19th for a change.....

We either do well or totally *****, theres no middle ground with Derby County. We must be due one of those decent seasons next season?........or maybe not.
