Two years ago people were saying that Luton gave the PL a right good go and they’d be one of the favourites to go straight back up. This year a lot of people said Wrexham and Birmingham were well set to ‘do an Ipswich’ and make the playoffs at the very least.
It’s absolute folly to be making such definitive long term statements as, ‘Saints won’t be in the promotion hunt for years to come’, just because we’re currently mid-table. We’re not on the edge of financial solvency and we’ve got a lot of decent players on long contracts.
Wolves, West Ham… I don’t fear them more than any other three clubs which might be relegated.
