Preston haven't made the Championship Playoffs since 2009. Many clubs on just as small budgets have achieved this, if not more. They spent 4 seasons in L1 before earning promotion in 14/15. They narrowly missed out on top 6 in 17/18, mixed with 2 top half finishes, and a very good chance of top 6 this season. To put their achievements in to perspective, Burton's revenue was £1m higher than Preston's in 17/18! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put their achievements in to perspective, Burton's revenue was £1m higher than Preston's in 17/18! Since Preston last finished in the playoffs the following sides have been promoted: Newcastle, West Brom, Blackpool, QPR, Norwich, Swansea, Reading, Southampton, West Ham, Cardiff, Hull, Palace, Leicester, Burnley, Bournemouth, Watford, Norwich, Boro, Brighton, Huddersfield, Wolves, Fulham, Sheff Utd, Villa Preston's revenue is only £11.9m, and typically have a budget of +/- £2m from that figure (£10-14m). Palace got promoted on the smallest budget of £10.9m (revenue of £14.5m but only spent £10.9m). The next closest was Blackpool with a budget of £16.1m (revenue of £9.4m, but spent £16.1m), which is more than Preston's budget. The third lowest budget was Swansea with £20m. So in 10 years, only 1 team has achieved more than Preston on a similar budget. Only 3 teams have been promoted with similar revenue to Preston, but all spent significantly more. The four teams being Blackpool (£16.1m), Swansea (£20m), Hull (£36.7m), and Bournemouth (£51.2m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but i think that was more down to incomings then outgoings they spent less than £7million in transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got some bang average players that the manager has got playing together as a unit. fair point mate , Chris Wilder is exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europia Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 11 hours ago, David said: Yes. But is that down to poor recruitment or poor management in big games? I didn’t become a football fan to look at the profit and losses on a player, I was and still am entertained by the game itself not balance sheets. You can argue the money could have been spend better, which it probably could have, but we have enjoyed 5 years of being in the mix at the top end of the table. Personally I have enjoyed it, this period is only second to Jim Smiths time at the club in my lifetime yet we have fans banging on like we’ve been suffering. We’ve come close to going up, agonisingly close, more so than the highly praised Brentford. I would love to hear other examples of excellent recruitment teams other than Brentford. 22 other clubs in this league, can’t be that hard to make others that have not wasted money, made a profit and consistently challenged at the top end of the table? Fair points, however the irony is that we now compare ourselves to Brentford. Not really setting the bar very high ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammed79 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Was thinking maybe Rooney could persuade Joe hart to join his contract is up in summer with Burnley . Anyone else think he could be good for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It's occurred to me that not only has the impending threat of a points deduction completely undermined our last window but it may hinder the summer one too. I really feel for Cocu as whatever he manages to achieve it seems there's always someone or something there to pull the rug from under his feet. I grow increasingly resentful towards Gibson and the EFL by the day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
