Sadly any smallish club from L1 that gets promoted to the championship to survive there has to have very deep pockets as we have found out in recent times.
Until they disable parachute payments that league has now become Premier League 2 as we all feared it would.
We are in my opinion now a nursery club for the big guns and at best L1 with the odd cup run.
I wish I could be more positive but fear more of the same in the years to come.
Watched a rerun of a superb game yesterday versus Arsenal in November 2005.
On that evening in the table Latics were the second best team in the country , it was like watching a dream , full stadium and a very exciting vibrant Latics team.
How times change.
