Not sure Morris will be rushing back to Cobham anytime soon  Lampard surely will be gone after tonight? Is he still buds with Lampard, always seemed strange that fat Frank never took him to Everton with him? |

He told Frank he was going it alone and wanted to be a #1 so didn't go to Everton despite the offer. Then got very close to the Swansea and WBA jobs without getting them. Took him two years to end up with us, which makes it all the more odd that he was seemingly so miserable to be here. |

They're always digging at rovers for not selling their ground out. Pot kettle. |

I don't know how many consecutive seasons they have been in the Championship now, but do you think their fans would be bored with being in the same division season after season. They never seem to be anywhere close to getting to the promotion spots, but also never seem to be in a relegation battle either.

Applies to most leagues. The majority of PL clubs only ambition is to stay there. Ditto Championship.
When you think about it, clubs/owners/fans spunking money year after year just to stand still makes no sense at all.

Absolutely. And with the cost of living crisis taking hold, you'd think that some of these clubs are really going to start to struggle as owners pull the plug/get bored etc. Some of the debts of the Championship clubs are obscene. |

Apart from one screamer from Dean Windass many moons ago, although they've been in League One since then. |

I noticed the average wage Bristol City pay their players is over £20k per week.
I think Oxford is around £6k.

Its a rich man's games these days, not sure many clubs can survive at Champ/PL level without someone with deep pockets propping them up, I suspect that 50%+ of clubs now have no realistic chance of surviving at that level for any period of time. Its really got to the stage that there are two different tiers, PL/Champ and then L1,2 & National League. |

Luton Town appear to be the outlier.
