    Losing the Battle

    We will never be in the Premiership again?

    FFP; poor business management, small outdated ground, no attraction for new fans, mediocre to poor results; no purposeful ambition connected to real change; managers whose jobs are linked to results so ditch youth; expensive ticket prices for the product; stuck in a division that has more $hit than quality, no attempt to entertain.

    Have I missed anything?

        Yeah, you forgot to mention we recently sacked the best ever manager to ever grace the world of football.
        Famous for his ability to produce teams of amazing flair and entertainment. Not to mention his unquestionable tactical genius.

        For this alone we deserve to achieve nothing and we should be reminded of our huge mistake every time we lose by one or two on here, who clearly know much more about football than the rest of humankind.

          Actually Olly’s teams were entertaining in the broadest sense of the word- particularly the selections - and sometimes they even worked.

            Isn't it interesting how we only ever get pessimistic threads like this following a loss.

              It is obviously going to be tough but there are a lot of clubs in the same boat in this division and some have shown that it is possible to go up. Huddersfield, Burnley, Bournemouth and even Brighton were in equally bad situations over the last ten or so years yet they managed it. It is not impossible but it will take a long time and we have proved throwing money at it didn't work in the long term.

                And therein lies the hope. Millwall and Bristol City were both within touching distance last time round.

                        This is true.

                        QPR don'tb have a great squad, but with a bit of luck, they do have enough to be challenging (i.e a penalty against Norwich could have clinched a point, a correct offside call against Sheff Utd and perhaps no penalty award, could have given QPR 3 more points. So far QPR are not getting much luck with decisions.

                        Of course there is more than that to winning games and promotion, but this league is not blessed with many great teams, so there is a chance.
