OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

[Snowflake Royal]

Done. And slate Couhig.

But seriously, finally it's over and we really can look forward and hopefully upward. Though not too upward, we don’t want to trip over our own feet or walk into a wall

A few people highlighting this part of the statement:

Redwood is ambitious and dedicated towards the club returning to its rightful place within the English football pyramid, while adhering to clear principles of honesty , transparency, and financial sustainability

Both a dig at DY, but also hopefully a really clear indication of the type of club they want to run.

Er... we're already in our right place within the pyramid historically. Lol.

But there was no mention of ‘historically’…….

If you're looking at the 153 year history, and the 80s and 90s - when let's be real, we were a totally different team - then yea maybe over that period we average out as a 3rd division club.

But times change. By that logic, the likes of Brighton are not in their rightful place. We've got a new ground, state-of-the-art training facility, a great record of academy products over the last 20 years, women's team success (until you know what), 3x seasons in the premier league, FA cup semi-final appearences, and a bigger fanbase.

According to my friend ChatGPT:

Approximate Tier Breakdown (Post-1920):
Second Tier: ~50 seasons
Third Tier: ~40 seasons
Fourth Tier: 2–3 seasons

Top Tier (Premier League): 3 seasons (2006–08, 2012–13)

Well thank god for that. Finally over

Without wanting to get drawn into anything overly tedious or serious (too late!) And certainly avoiding biting on Crusader's bait... no one has a rightful level except the level they've earnt the right to be currently playing in.

Yes, the screaming absence of the words 'Premier League' or even 'Championship' has been duly noted...

Make of it what you will.,

Well, that does not look right. We were in the fourth tier far longer than 2-3 seasons, and the second tier far less than 50 years.

Ffs now the takeover is done close the thread.

And how do you think the fans would react if the owners said that

That's the point, we are reacting to this carefully chosen form of words...

I think its vague enough to mean everything and nothing...

But if taken at as a statement of fact, the 3rd Tier is about right based on 153 years of existence.....

As I've said on many threads, L1 isn't sustainable so I'd hope the aim is for rapid promotion...

I love that the happiest day on HNA? in about 15 years and it's descended into bickering again - this time over the words used by the new owners (who likely glanced at the statement to authorise), and also at our perceived "correct" league position.

I look forward to many more weeks of these casual arguments

Walked into that one…

[Royalwaster]

Should the thread be called 'CONFIMRATION of the CONFIMRED'?

[windermereROYAL]

After all these years isn`t it time to spell confirmed the way it`s meant to be spelt instead of acting like a load of little dyslexic kids?
I like to think most of us are grown up adults on here.
