It's 30th December 2014....we've stuffed Brentford away 4-2 on Boxing Day on 05:39 - Sep 3 by IPS_wich
I don't think it's that easy. For me this is definitely a yellow legal pad pros and cons debate.
Scenario: Evans invests in MM and we achieve promotion to the Prem in 2015/16
Pros: - We return to the Premier League at a time when the divide between Prem and Champ is less than it is today. - If we get relegated then we get access to parachute money earlier - We probably don't get the Pauls as managers (and especially no WTF 5-year contract for Lambert when most of the fans wanted him out) - We probably don't end up in League 1 (which despite some of the comments on this thread is still the darkest days in my almost 50 years of supporting the club) - We probably don't end up with quite so many embarrassing cup defeats (Probably no Barrow).
Cons: - Evans is still the owner - We never get KMac as Manager - We don't get to experience back to back promotions - We have to suffer MM managing in the premier league (we would be the most hated team in the land for the 2-3 seasons of parking the bus in order to finish 16th/17th)
I think I'm just on the side of thank goodness we didn't go up; but the opportunity to expunge Hirst and Lambert from our history is deeply tempting.
That hasn't changed my opinion one bit to be honest. Several huge negatives and a few minor positives.
