Don’t forget these are my opinions on the thread,rossi wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 3:21 pminteresting isn't it? A few seasons ago and Wolves were tearing up the Championship, having at the time the benefit of one of the bigger budgets in the league. I didn't hear you or any other Wolves fan complaining then. So now you are in a league with clubs with a far bigger budget than yourselves, so console yourselves by thinking that there are only 5 or 6 clubs that have a chance of winning it. Be that as it may, it doesn't make the Premiership a crap league - indeed Leicester proved a few seasons ago that it is possible for a club with more modest means to succeed in it - and in any case I bet most Wolves fans would rather see games of Premier quality than League 1 quality.
To answer your question, I don't see the Championship as a crap league - clearly the quality is not as good as the Premiership so I can understand fans of Prem clubs looking on the Championship as crap. The gulf between the Championship and the Premiership, however, is far wider than the gulf between Premier and Championship. I say this because we have seen it is possible for a team to get promoted from the Championship playing good football (a la Fulham) whereas to get out of League 1 it seems you need to be more physical and direct. So all things are relative, but I still say that League 1 is indeed a crap league.
I don’t disagree we were lucky to get investors to buy our way out of the Championship, (although totally against Chinese money at my club). You didn’t hear me gloating or complaining.
I’ve watched us winning the FA Cup the League, plus other trophy’s, and watched them go from the old Div 1, down to Div 4, and back, and can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every season, especially the gloaters on the way down getting it back as we went past them back to the top,
You read my Crap League bit wrong, it’s a crap league to me, and most younger Wolves fans have a totally opposite opinion to mine, but my age group think like me,
Thanks for your answer, on the Championship,
It proves my point of which direction the fans are looking from doesn't it.
Anyway it’s a good thread and interesting different angles fans see it.
