    Wells funded the team that brought us our cup run and play off appearances and McBurnie is the reason we are better off than a lot of our rivals during the pandemic

    How odd! Wells was sold nearly a year after the LC final. It must have taken a bloody crystal ball to have anticipated that!

    If we still have the crystal ball, it could help our finances enormously for the future ... if it does the lottery numbers as well for the next 12 months!

    Posh were last in div 2 in 2008.

    Since then they have been in the Championship 3 times.

    Bradford City since 2008 have been in div 2 7 times and stuck in the bottom half now.

    BRADFORD CITY IS A FAILING CLUB!

    We've never been in in the championship since 2008. We have NO identity on and off the pitch - Peterborough building a new stadium. What are Bradford City doing?The club is an embarrassment to football in truth.

    So, if you and others want to look at others fine but look at your own club. It's a joke!

    Hopefully, Rupp will Feck off because we need forward direction off the pitch now.

    Rupp will only Feck Off if or when he receives an acceptable offer.

    Come on Fordy as a business man surely you can appreciate that.

    Because Fordy goes off on one every day this probably gets overlooked by people but to be fair he's pretty much spot on. Hopefully we have started to turn the corner but as it stands we are a lower half league 2 football club and it's gonna take a long time to turn that around.

    We have never been in the position Posh have, I'm not knocking what Darragh MacAnthony has done with regards getting young non-league players in and selling them on, more that I would expect him as the owner to do, and that's invest in the squad to improve it and hopefully repay your fans by getting the club promoted.
    As you say any monies available has been used the improve the squad certainly in Parky's time at the club, we know that was the theory Rahic sold us, unfortunately he never gave it chance to work because of his egotistical self believe, and that's a shame because some of his idea's were the right way to go long term, I think this is how Ryan wants the club to move forward.

    I have no doubt the money from the Well's transfer helped us going forward but I'm not sure we can put our Wembley experience down to his sale, in fact a large slice of it was wasted on Arron McLean, the nearly season was several situations coming together, McCall coming back inheriting several great pros from Phil Parkinson's time at the club and bringing to the club the likes of Law, Vincelot, Wyke, Hiwula, Knight-Percival, getting Marshall to believe in himself.

    Trouble is mate if we do get any success from Sparks, Trueman & Sellars they wont get any praise as none of them should be in their jobs.

    There's no such thing as a "natural level" anymore. Not with football being so financially biased these days.

    We also had an FA Cup run, which I believe @Park bantam@Park bantam is alluding to.

    Yes and you also mentioned our play off appearances, which I quoted.

    Probably a believable story except you specifically quoted our "Wembley experience" and of course we didn't reach Wembley the year we played Chelsea.

    "I have no doubt the money from the Well's transfer helped us going forward but I'm not sure we can put our Wembley experience down to his sale" is what you originally posted.
