Got to be stability for me.
You can have a great Championship season and finish in the top 2. What is your reward? Relegation in 12 months time!
For someone from Stoke you do talk some sense!
Cannot understand why you would want to play your football outside the top division even if it meant being "more successful" at a lower level.
Surely, the whole point of the league system is to climb as high and be the best that you possibbly can and to test yourself against the very best?
There are 72 league clubs striving week in week out to be where we are right now.
And to think that Jeremy Peace and the club as a whole get accused of lacking ambition is nothing in comparison to wanting to be the best of the rest!
It would have been interesting to put this to the vote, as for me, the best way to be successful, playing "the Albion way" and to possibly win some trophies again one day, is by staying in the Premier League.
