*If/when we go up to the Premier League*

Sun Feb 17, 2013 10:54 am

Now it's looking dead on certain that we will gain promotion, can you see us staying up? Sadly I just cannot see it :sad7:
Although I believe Tan will back Malky and the fact that Malky is one of the most talented managers outside the Prem, I just can't see the players being up to the fight.
I know this sounds really down and drab after a great day yesterday :thumbright: , but I have been thinking about this for ages now and was wondering if anyone else could see us being successful in the Premier League :?:

How can you say the players won't be up to the fight? We don't know what players we will have if we go up.

But yes I think we will stay up if we go up.

We won't have an idea until the end of August when all the transfers are made.

I think we can stay up comfortably. Even though he will more or less have a war chest to spend, I can't see Malky buying loads of big names on stupid wages with unprofessional egos. He will probably do what Brendan Rodgers, Paul Lambert and Sam Allardyce did and stick with the backbone that got us there.

If QPR, Norwich and Swansea managed to survive thier first season in the premiership why can't we? We'll strenghthen if we go up anyway.We are the best and most consistent team in the championship, Doom and gloom.

Malky given a pay-off, Vinny hires Mourinho, we sign Lampard and a few ex players he's worked with, start challenging with Spurs for a Champions League spot :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

This point has been made to this question before, and it's a good point;

Take the jacks as an example, players like Ashley Williams, Rangel and Britton, I would have laughed in anyone's face who told me that they would become regulars in a premier league starting 11, but they have. The difference in standard between the premier league and upper championship is not that great. Don't get me wrong there are some very talented individuals in the premiership but individuals don't get you results week in week out, teams do, and we have one of them :thumbup:

I am more worried about our fans- We need backs to the wall, never going to go down without a fight passion back.... I think we will get a lot more of the same.
