As things stand we couldn't even compete in the Championship. The season before last when Bristol City were relegated, they had the smallest budget in the league - circa £20 million. 15 time our budget and they couldn't compete. It would take a massive stroke of luck to get into the Championship (for us) and a fucking miracle if we stayed there for longer than a season.
One would assume that the budget would go up proportionally should we reach the Championship - as we proved this year you can compete on a vastly smaller budget than the majority, however in the case of this year the higher budgets prevailed in the end.
Who knows, would at least be nice to try!
