You're a Burnley fan, right? Yes it was a good result for you. For Brighton and Hove Albion it was a disaster. Look at the 'plucky Bournemouth' thread. Bournemouth (Bournemouth!) can afford to spend 60, 70, 80 million quid on players and they STILL won't spend all the money they're going to get by just taking part in this year's premier league campaign. And if they get relegated, with a turnover about five times the size of ours (with parachute payments on top) 'big' Bournemouth will have a huge financial advantage over 'little' Brighton, ''little' Leeds, 'little' Forest etc and all the other clubs outside the PL sweetshop. That could have been us.

If we don't get promoted this year it will be a real struggle in future as every club will come down from the prem with so much money it'll make the current parachute payments look like small change. We'll look back on that Derby result as the ultimate missed opportunity.

With all due respect Hopkins, what response did you hope that this thread would elicit? It comes across as being deliberately provocative, so I'm not surprised in the slightest at the tone of the comments. I apologise if you genuine wanted to discuss the issue in a meaningful way, but perhaps you should have spelt out your rationale for holding what appears to be a very misplaced belief.

If we go up this season, then last season will be looked back on in 10 years time as a practice run, an enjoyable season overall, and part of the journey.
If we do not, then it will be seen in 10 years time as the season that might have been.

Let's crack on with this season, one of the most important seasons ever for the club, and leave the looking back for the future.

Ah, sorry, was this a double-bluff? (i.e. you too thought the Derby result was a disaster). Apologies.
