Last time we were in this league (2011) we had, amongst others, the following players at our disposal:
Joe Mason
Bradley Wright Phillips
Reda Johnson
Kari Arnason
Curtis Nelson
Onismor Bhasera
Carl Fletcher
Craig Noone
Yannick Bolasie
David Button
There are some seriously quality players there throughout the team and without the 10 points deducted even with the calibre of players mentioned we would have only narrowly avoided relegation by 4 points. How many of those players would get into our squad/first team, in fact put it another way how many of our current players would get into the team from that year?! And to top it off it's fair to say that the league has also progressed in terms of standard and financially considerably since we were last in it. So now ask yourselves whether the reason for struggling so much is due the manager, or the budget and subsequent standard of the squad?
