    LOL......
    A poor mans version of @Fordy117@Fordy117, no where near as good though, still keep trying, one day you might be as good as @Rcbantam@Rcbantam, still you made me chuckle, and reply so not all bad for a Wednesday afternoon in the office.

    Several clubs above us weren't even in the league!

    You don't need massive investment at all.

    Sunderland and Newcastle are massive and should be finishing top 10 in the premier league year on year but don't .
    Bradford city as a club has lacked real investment to be able to achieve sustained success for decades.
    All the clubs you mention will at some point be above us and at others below us. Its the nature of the game. Unless we get an arab billionaire to drive us forward like Man city, who at one point were at the same level as us.

    Sheffield Wednesday, points docked for fiddling figures, not paid players properly and on time, transfer embargo in place, trying to furlough players, players threatening to give notice to leave on free transfer due to breach of contract

    It certainly is a frustration that as a club we hover in the lower league, results wise regressing year in year out.

    Some shoots of optimism are occurring but these are a long way from fruition.

    As to, are we the worst run club, I don't know truthfully as I don't have context to others around us. But being single minded and looking at BCFC, I hope that very soon that such suggestions (with potential merit) will be a thing of the past.

    Good grief.

    There are some drama queens on here.

    Is social media to blame? Folk wanting things now, now and lacking in patience?

    Over our history I'm sure we have spent more time in bottom two than out, so surely we are in our natural home

    We've spent all bar 32 of the last 80 years in the bottom league. Its our natural place. Get used to it. You don't have to like it, but its where we basically inhabit.

    And several that lived permanently above us have gone or are out of the league. Get a grip

    We've outgrown it, and are way bigger than these non league sides.

    We need to get used to being too good for this division, even if we weren't historically.

    I do think we have a bit more potential now than the old days with ground redevelopment after the tragedy. And we have built up a decent supporter base through cheap tickets.
    Unfortunately we have pretty high fixed costs as well I think anything above the top ten in division one and we are over achieving

    Please stop-you are rapidly making @Fordy117@Fordy117 seem quite normal.
