Let's say Tractors lose 1-0 to skyblues thus making there goal difference 8 worse than ours.
We then assume that our shower of sh&*$#te can beat Saints at home by a lucky own goal - thus we are promoted,
But not so fast, this is LUFC and you can bet your life the Tractor boys will trounce the Dog botherers, scoring there 10th and final goal in the 8th minute of injury time.
I am actually not bothered if we go up, at least in this league we can be competitive, in Prem we would have no chance of actually winning owt.

1970 A return to the EPL what we would "win" is superior finances enabling stadium ?️ expansion. We'd have to hope we finish 17th or better. In absence of our ascension, we'll forever be a Championship club possibly vying for promotion each season but watching our talent get snapped up requiring replacements difficult to find and entice. This dynamic would actually render us a mid table Championship club because the likes of Rutter, Gnonto and Summerville will have gone creating a 70 g/ a season void. Let's try "win" our stadium ?️ expansion therefore.

I don’t think we are able to compete at the top level.
I think our best players will be on their way. With what is left we are certs to come back down.
As much as I hate to say it, think we need another 1 or 2 seasons in champ. Regroup and rebuild and get a settled team ready for the prem.

Deluded Aus if that's what you think we "need".
28 Apr 2024 09:03:43
Think having a bigger stadium fixes everything eh.
Only one deluded here matey ?.

Whilst I think we would currently struggle in the EPL with the current squad, you would hope with the huge increase in revenue, the 49’s would sanction an upgrade on the talent. You would hope lessons would be have been learned from last time.
To be fair, going down last season only occurred because of the total capitulation in the last 10 games. To that point, there had been 5-6 teams worse than us for the most part. Players checked out a long time before the season ended.
It would be no where near as much fun, and we would (as fans) be grieving most of the time, but I think we would survive…at a “Brentford” level if we did go up.

Leeds do seem to struggle at the last hurdle.
Maybe they should apply for a shorter season, there must be a clause within the Equality Act ??.

Ani ; to survive at a Brentford level would require a good ( and savvy) coach
More Thomas Frank ( less Farke)

It a funny of game if we do go up as post above are best players will be gone we stay down they will be gone who do you think that this club can bring in to keep it up in the PL? We are no longer a club any quality players will want to join the only players we seen to get are ones that there club no longer need or don’t play them we will need massive investment which are owners don’t have and yes I know they have billions but on paper.

Aus, so please elucidate us on the impending SCC (squad cost control rules) and how they don't take into consideration the largest revenue source of all, gate receipts, when determining spending power. What a ??.

I don’t need to. You made the ridiculous post about bigger stadium etc.
gotta be in mid prem or just wasting money.
I know expanding elland rd a love child of yours Porgie.
But timing is everything. And now it ain’t the time.

Yeah antipodean. Let's wait until construction costs go up even more along with player valuations.
