  1. I’m so worried if we get promoted we’ll end up like Sheffield United or Burnley. It’d be so disappointing, man.

  2. Would be great fun to get into the playoffs and go win them…..

    And then next year will be hideous and basically not worth watching if we do.

  3. It’s good when you’re good. The Pochettino and Koeman years are by far my favourite ever times as a Saints fan

  4. Ideal scenario for me is have a few years fighting for the playoffs/autos before getting promoted.

    Excitement for a few years and a nice PL cash boost and exposure whilst (probably) getting relegated.

  5. Going up would basically guarantee McKenna staying but I think as a club we’d really benefit from another season here. Hopefully he stays either way.

    Surely it should be Sheffield Utd or Burnley in the corner there not Luton!

    Proper League, can you imagine not being a billionaires plaything in the prem, must be so depressing. Bring out the gimp club for us all to have a go on.

    #1 reason why I want Ipswich to go up, and, reluctantly, Luton to stay up. All 3 relegated teams promoted and vice versa will be yet another symptom of the ever widening gap between the leagues.

    Honestly this is so true. The prem is so painful and no where near as enjoyable as the championship, so plastic too. Real supporters are in the champ

    The Prem is an AWFUL league to be in.

    Its only purpose for ‘proper’ clubs is to collect enough cash to stay a strong championship side.

    1 year in the prem every 2-4 seasons will be enough for me, with plenty of hotly contested top 6 finishes.

    I don’t know how but the PL has made itself very undesirable to be in.

    Part of me very much doesn’t want to leave the Championship — aside from that incredible first Bielsa Premier League season, there’s only a handful of really good recent Prem memories.

    And if we go up, I worry how much of this squad (which I’ve become very fond of) gets cut as we (very understandably) pour 49ers money into a squad that won’t just yo yo back to the Champo the following season. (I’m sure I’d come to love to new faces in time.)

    Obviously I want to go up — even if I didn’t, I would still want Leeds to win their games, and when you win a good chunk of your games, you often get a shot at promotion. Catch-22. 🤣

    But we’re Leeds — and there’s too damned far to go to consider this too seriously yet. My mate’s a Blackburn fan and I thought last season there was no way they wouldn’t at least get a shot at promotion through the playoffs… A lot of football to play, and a lot of very good teams sniffing around.

  12. Get promoted but instead of the Premier League you get to stay in the Championship, and it’s also possible to win The FA Cup and play some big games in Europe, is the ideal situation.

  13. I say the other 14 and the championship create our own league. With blackJack and hookers. Or just a fair financial structure and competent refs.

    If you don’t look at the incompetence of our owner/board/recruitment team recently/general lack of funds/selling players without telling the manager it’s an awful league.

    Exposed to the eyes of everyone,the media,social media,random plastics and such. All calling you shit,not knowing a thing about you and treating you with disdain and arrogance and expecting you to go down and lose to them and be honoured to do so. Idiotic and brain-dead coverage that favours the big six or running darling boys of the time and knows nothing about you,with everything in the league having a double standard depending on if the sky six or you did it. If Klopp doesn’t like something it has to go,If you don’t like it it’s because your too lowly to understand.

    Every match is difficult and a slog against richer, stronger opponents with far more depth and capability than you’ve got with every ticket costing much more to get to London at fifty different combinations of time and day because TV companies want to put you on TV for plastics. Stadiums with half and half scarves and plenty of tourists .

    Awful league even when you aren’t dogshit.

  15. Financially we all probably need the prem but not many would thrive up there. Alot of clubs in prem having to cut their cloth to avoid FFP so not as though anyone can splash the cash

    I won’t lie, I would just like a little sample of the top flight. Knocking on the door is all fun and games but when you can’t open the fucking thing for over 60 years, it can get a bit frustrating and tiresome!

    On one hand, it would be nice to be back there. On the other, 30 odd games of being spanked doesn’t appeal
