Bizarre no - simple yes.
My question was: what is the difference between not being promoted last season, to not being promoted this season? The simple answer being - nothing!
And to say that we have some sort of Divine Right to be playing at a higher level because our fan base is more impressive than others - nonsense!
You are being economical with the truth and more inprtantly the facts, we were not sure even in June last year whether we had a club to play in any league, the team was thrown together from amongst what was generally available and with what we could afford, because of the time constraints there was no scouting, very little pre season trial players, what we achieved with that group was amazing and surprised many.
Th season before under johnson was just civil war, the fans on one side and Johnson and the owners on the other, I am convinced Johnson knew full well the ultimate plans of our previous owner were , certainly even before the more well informed fan did. So the two last seasons are as different as chalk and cheese. What a strong fanbase and bigger corwds brings you is finance to achieve that next step.
