Oh and anyone who thinks the Brighton model is the way, just wait until Hughton gets the sack and then we will see. |

But how good the training ground is has an impact on us winning games, which is what you and everyone else wants.

And on present form, I don't think there is much danger of finishing 12th ATM !! |

Could you let our players know so we can adjust their salaries accordingly

Yes ofcourse, but I dont get worked up about it with expectations.

Our only problem and the difference between us and Brighton is that Glen Murray now plays for them instead of us. All roads lead to that.

Maybe it is the facilities, not the players, as according to the club’s Facebook updates every week; ‘the lads are working hard in training ’

Part of the problem is the math of the PL. You start with 6 teams that are safe from relegation, 7 if you count Everton, which I do. The remaining 13 teams are more or less equal in terms of resources.
Relegating 3 out of 13 teams means you drop the bottom 23% each year. Obviously a team like Bournemouth has a lot better odds than Cardiff, but in general, sooner or later your luck will run out and you'll end up in the bottom three. The only alternative is to become successful enough to reach the rank of Everton or higher, which no one has been able to do in recent times. |

The Premier League is not a fair competition - from the very start it was designed to perpetuate the big clubs' dominance, and it has done so in a way that maybe even they didn't dare dream. In that context you have to accept that 2/3rds of the division have no hope of 'success' in any meaningful sense - our only hope is to redefine it to mean mid-table finishes.
In an environment such as this, with an effective attritional rate of 23% as Wilbraham413 notes, the odds of staying up for a decade are very slight, and we should not be surprised when our luck runs out.

It’s fvck all to do with luck
Our strategy from top to bottom has stunk the place out for the last 3 or 4 seasons It’s not luck that runs out, it’s your strategy failing

Lot of truth in that . We've had a different manager every season at some stage , so strategy is hardly a word that can be used . Maybe getting relegated and then actually keeping a manager with a strategy is the way to go , because it's obvious we have no concrete plan. winging it for as long as we have has now caught up with us .

Agreed. Newcastle, Sunderland and Aston Villa all went down in recent seasons due to mismanagement and lack of strategy. All big enough clubs to do more than just survive in the league.
