The Premiership

[James.]

How long are we talking about then?

What are we gonna need to get promoted and stay there?

Not to complain but... perhaps you should spell check text (e.g. your poll) before posting it

yeah i got a bit excited and forgot the ing in getting didn't i.

moderators feel free to correct (don't think i can edit the poll...)

[Sods]

think it will be a couple of seasons. I don't want to get too optimistic.

[Joe.]

Not this year, not the next, not the one after that... God this could go on forever.

You get my point...

What's the 4th question supposed to be asking - we are in the Championship

[Wils]

3 Years.

I hope.

But i doubt.

getting promotion back to the championship next season. for the pessimists

[Brainy]

I agree with Joe. Money doesn't guarantee instant success.

[Flynny]

Next season will be a push for the playoffs, which we'll either just miss out on or lose in. Could go up I guess, but unlikely.

Season after we'll be looking at automatics.

[lildave3]

Couple of seasons rebuliding, then we'll do a reading. Boss the league then fly high in the prem

[Joe.]

I'm surprised how confident everyone is really. Seeing as we're in a relegation fight this season...

I think the money will help a great deal obviously, but it depends who the manager is to which players he brings in.

It'll take a good few seasons I reckon for us to sustain a proper promotion bid.

[l444ry]

It all depends on how long it takes to get rid of this useless bunch. Only then will the club be able to move forward.

[Floating Fox]

Are you one of the four to vote #5 in the poll

He's just joined the anti-Milan group with me and Ultra

[James.]

Who voted for #1.

Own up!

Either you're intentionally trying to distort this poll or you are insane. Which is it?

[lostsole89]

I think it will take us a few seasons to rebuild and get rid of players who are crap *cough*Johnson*cough* then we might be a decent side but only time will tell.

Decided to go with option 3, but I was torn between 3 and 4. I reckon even with Milan at the helm, without the right manager and the right tactics, we're still going nowhere. A long hard slog for us now, but hopefully in a few years time (3 or 4) we'll be winning promotion and playing Premiership football.

I chose 4 but that was a spur of the moment thing.

I would say 3 is a more balanced answer...

[Simi]

I would go with option 3. The club needs alot of freshning up and hopefully we can make a push soon.

4 is a real possibility though, and if I were you I wouldn't be fooled into thinking we're going to start climbing the table because of what we achieved on Saturday. 5 points isn't an awful lot, and considering we still have to play West Brom, Birmingham and Preston, teams around us can easily make it up should we not pick results up elsewhere.

3 is more balanced but still could be a little too optimistic for the reasons I have outlined regarding tactics and manager.

[Thracian]

It's a bit like trying to guess the winner of the Grand National without knowing which horses are going to run.

Tell you what though. If clubs finishing last in the Premiership are going to get £30m, or something ridiculous, we don't want to be hanging about.

We'll need a lot of loan players to combat that!

When I set the poll up I added the 5th option because I thought a lot of people would say something along those lines. I would tend to agree (although I actually voted for option 2 - blame the pre-announcement excitement).

There are so many variables at the minute - manager, players, finances, etc. Although the results of the poll so far suggest that most people are very optimistic. Hopefully that won't mean a bunch of very frustrated supporters if it isn't quite such a smooth ride.

[Strokes]

All depends on who will be steering the ship really.

Official statement from Mandaric:

...if I don't take this club up in a 3 year period I will view that as a failure, and that is a word that nobody associates with me...

Dick head,

I hate our new owner already.

Madaric out.
