    Then the future you wouldn't have Charlie Wyke to sell and you've broken the space time continuum. Think man, think.

    Football by its very nature is a loss making business bar the teams lucky enough to get to the hallowed ground of the premiership. And a lot of teams trying to get to the premiership are losing money hand over fist. I think with a small level of investment you could easily take a team from non league to mid table league 1, someone like Salford City if they get some investment from their owners. But the jump to the championship gets bigger every year. The best chance of getting there is via a money man bankrolling your dream. We have got as close to the championship without actually getting there, i think we are going to have to accept that there are teams and owners who will be more desperate to get to the championship than we will be over the next few seasons as our aim seems to be young player development over riding everything else.

    I'd sell Charlie Wyke, buy a time machine with the proceeds and cancel my 1st meeting with Rhodes and Lawn

    Id convince Rupp that we needed to go big or go home Wine dine him take him to some champ and prem games get him money drunk

    I’d then say like ok let’s have a top 4 budget for this year and Go for it


    I’d also publically apologise to McCall stating that he did an unbelievable job getting last seasons shower of shite anywhere near the top 6

    Well first off I’d accept it won’t happen in the short term. You have to invest a bit, have a few years of losing money and hope the investment gets us to a stable championship club.

    From there you either hope we have enough of a fan base and infrastructure to sustain ourselves and then either find a buyer who wants to invest and take us further (thereby getting a return on your investment) or hope we get promoted on a lucky season (like Huddersfield).

    More than likely though, we will remain a L1 or struggling championship team for many years and they’ll never get their money back, let alone make a profit.

    He has a point @CT Bantam@CT Bantam - you'd have to sell something else to get your time machine, like your vintage lederhosen collection or something.

    First of all I would make Fordy the head coach, recruitment specialist and director of football.

    You're right Hoochy. But in my defence, I was asked to be Edin and this is exactly the kind of thing that this man is capable of!
