Agreed, we are outspending teams in L1 and CCC.
But do you think we are buying players that are good enough to win promotion to the Prem?
(lol at Exeter buying a player - although not in a patronising way ).
But the 5 new additions last month will take time to bed.
Let's wait until the end of February and see if results pick up (like they did in October, November & December).
Have they?
I'm not so sure.
To reach the Prem in 3 years would require pretty much the same team to be playing in L1, CCC and then Prem. You need consistency.
We would need to be fielding an upper-CCC/lower-Prem team now for that to be possible. And £3million doesn't buy a team that will compete with Newcastle.
Maybe we can do it.
I guess that more than 30 years of supporting Saints has taken it's toll after all.
I'm used to low(e) expectations.
I shall hand in my happy clapper badge at the desk on my way out.
Seriously, it's a hell of an ask.
Even if you replaced AP with Fergie or Wenger it would be still be daunting.
So then...... It's league 1 to Prem in 3 years.
Which means next season promotion from L1 to CCC.
And 2011-2012 is promotion from CCC to Prem.
Impossible: IMHO.
You clearly have access to my ticket buying history.......
But seriously, I am a ST holder and I was at Huddersfield, Charlton, Walsall, Colchester, Leeds etc etc so I am clearly a much better fan than you.
Na na na na na! :smt119
Because, as I've stated elsewhere...... We have added 5 new players to the squad.
It takes time for new players to gel and fit in with the other players around them.
Like at the beginning of the season, when we had new players and they hadn't gelled and our results weren't that good.
Remember?
