Why do we think we should be automatically in the Play-offs or above?
Let's look at the top ten:
1Cardiff 50 years out of the top flight, spent years trying to build a squad for promotion
2Hull 3rd Season out of the premiership
3Middlesbrough 4th Season out of the premiership
4Crystal Palace 8th Season out of the premiership
5Leicester 9th season out of the premiership, 4th since promotion from league 1
6Watford 6th season out of the premiership
7Millwall 22nd season out of the top flight, 3rd since promotion from league 1
8Nottm Forest 14th season out of the premiership, 5th since promotion from league 1
9Leeds United 9th season out of the premiership, 3rd since promotion from league 1
10Brighton 29th season out of the top flight, 2nd since promotion from league 1
It takes a lot of time to build a squad for promotion from this league. Boro had some great players and a promising youth system when they came down too.
We're in a good position financially so hopefully we can do it quickly, but why would we want to go up with this squad that was completly out of its depth there anyway? don't give me any of that "avoided relegation twice" $$$$$$$$ - we weren't one of the worst 3 teams each time but we were damn close.
We've got a chance to start afresh and build a squad/club from the bottom up that can play, its not going to happen overnight, but we will never never see Wolves as an established Premier League team if we jump from McLeish to Bruce to O'Driscal every 2 seasons.
