Then you should be really happy if we get relegated, because we will almost certainly win more games in the Championship. Alternatively you could go and support a team who are bankrolled by a country with limitless oil resources. Escapism is all very well if it isn't your money. We are not one of the top 6 mega rich clubs, this is not a game of FIFA 19 or fantasy football. Your posts show you are already enjoying your escapism, completely disconnected from reality.

Yeah, I'll give that some serious thought.

Someone on here has a footnote that reads "'Employee of the Week' is a terrific example of how someone can be simultaneously a winner and a loser." Or some such. I hereby nominate you for 'Moderator of the Week'.

You people can all deliberate the virtues of selling quality players if you want but I will only mourn what could have been...Again. And that’s why you’re in this current fantasy where we don’t have any financial issues, Prem money is infinite, we probably have as much as the top 6 and don’t have to sell anyone when the last player we sold was Bolasie in August 2016. We had to raise money from sales in the championship to the tune of £5 mil per financial year and were saved by promotion or we’d be struggling to get promotion without Zaha. We now have to do it in the Prem, and the way we’ve managed recruitment has maybe made us safer in the short term but brought this on in the longer term. That is reality of the situation and not the club’s responsibility to provide you with some escapism, as much as I’d love to experience that myself. But I’ll have to put up with it and some of Roy’s boring football, because that’s the reality until we’re purchased by a multi billionaire.
