We beat Liverpool to stay in the premier league sending Leeds into the CL and keeping us up and sending the Dons down.

Now rather than keeping our feet on the grounds ........Leeds suddenly thought CL was gonna be there for years to hence overspending big time and when they failed to qualify the rot really set in.

We ( Bradford ) suddenly thought we where an established PL club and suddenly money was no problem until the shit really hit the fan and we have been suffering since.

The Wimbledon story well we know the route that took would Winkleman have been allowed to move Wimbledon to MK had they stayed in the PL ????,

Had we not beaten Liverpool then i doubt the fortunes of all 3 clubs would not have gone down the road that happened

Wimbledon had been away from Plough Lane for about eight years by that time and Merton Council were opposed to their return. They couldn't squat at Selhurst Park indefinitely.
Also, the old Wimbledon directors were the ones who first considered a move and even suggested relocating to Dublin at one point to cash in on Irish support for English teams. Winkleman probably kept the team alive as opposed to the club.

Hard to disagree with that. From what I could see, Richmond's ego would always have overstretched your club and, similarly (hold your nose), Leeds would always have overspent under Ridsdale Hope this is the season when your fortunes finally turn. Enjoyed trips to Valley Parade over the years and have promised our lad we'd add it to his list (we've taken the Bantams to the Prem in FIFA!).

Thats why in hindsight relegation wouldnt have been the worse thing ..........honestly the tales coming out about Richmond proved that his ego was well out of control before we hit the PL.


As fpr our fortunes turning nahhhhhh it will end up in a sacking the hail of the next messiah and a 10th placed finish
 
Barrow played over an hour with an outfield player in goal after the keeper got a red card and no sub keeper on the bench.

Lasted until the final minute of added time and let an equaliser in.

Am amazed that Salford City brought that many fans ?
They are now an artificial club (like FCUM) that are a vanity project for the Class of '92 gang and Peter Lim.
You don't change the colour of a club's shirt do you Gary ?

But where is it leading to ????

Agree with questioning their objectives.
Can only think it's a vanity project ?
The Class of 92 may have been very accomplished and successful players.
But, none of the GPC ex-players have achieved much in their managerial careers (although Steve Bruce has somehow got another job ?).
So, buying a club at the bottom level must have seemed an easy opportunity to succeed ?
I would like to hear from an original Salford fan to hear their opinions on the Salford City project ?

Had the misfortune to watch that. It appears nobody told our forwards that it might be worth having a shot at the outfield player in goal until the 98th minute.
 
Top of the table Doncaster away to Harrogate tonight.

Hopefully a decent game, semi-scarred with League 2 after watching Salford v MK Dons.
