Any chance of promotion to PL gone

Last season we only got to the play offs because of the Poles clean sheets,didn`t the club finishing 18th score more goals than us,and by the way reaching the play off`s does not count as reaching the premier league

No we didn't. We got to the playoffs because we accumluated the 6th most points over the course of a 46 game season. We were the 6th best side in the league.

We seem to have written off Baldock, COG, McCourt, Texiera, Bennett, Stockdale and co already. Some will be okay, some will be a bit rubbish, it's always been that way. For every Bridcutt and Ulloa 'signed' by Poyet, detractors can point to a CMS, Billy Paynter, Holroyd, Hoskins etc.

Surely there must be some form of mistake. I thought Burke only bought the bad players.

Right now, even talking about play-offs or promotion is just ridiculous, whether the chance has gone or not, at this point it should be irrelevant. All we should be concentrating on now is getting away from the bottom 3 and fast. Hopefully we can revisit whether promotion is gone or not once we're clear of the bottom places, but not before.

That was after Southampton had banked the promotion in a previous season.

The point is a good one. We need to stop selling our best players if we have genuine ambition of promotion.

If Southampton had been offered the equivalent of 7/8m plus add ons. They'd have sold Lambert. No doubt.

Promotion seemed imminent under Gus. Since then it has not. We done very well under Oscar last season, but we probably did not deserve our play off spot. Had he stayed another season, we probably would have improved.

Hyppia? Who knows.
