The question I would pose is “Does this club have a coherent strategy for promotion?”
And the answer IMO would be "no"
And you know what? I can live with that if we just stop the bullshine PR spin that we're top contenders, and act accordingly.
Give a (good) manager for a few years to build a proper side, stop flogging academy players, and give us a team we can be proud of & develop a connection to.
It's not all about the Prem. The Championship is fun. What is annoying though is starting every campaign knowing that in a few months time it'll be all change again, and the 2nd half of the season will be a pointless reshuffle & game of catchup for the Nth year running.
It's 2019 Alf. The game has changed.
The two points highlighted above...
1. Never going to happen in this day and age.
2. For owners of football clubs especially the ones in the PL and top half of the Championship it IS all about the PL.
Wilder & Farke would suggest otherwise.
THe latter was just a personal preference, but I still think for a club with our budget building is a better approach than changing things each yaer until something works.
I think what Duncan is trying to get across is that it might be your personal preference but it's not going to happen. 2 years like Farke might happen at a stretch but a few years like Alf mentioned, never going to happen.
