Actually if he decided to go that route i wouldn't mind at all.
The point would be us taking part in top flight football for the first time in 50+ years. Anyone on here want to wait another 50 years?

PNE owned by a pauper and also play in Preston, no wonder we can't make the prem. 🙂

PNE are owned by someone whilst very rich has shown he won’t go and splash millions around on players like Mitrovic.

Selling Preston to a international footballer is always going to be more difficult than one of the most exclusive parts of our capital city.

I get the feeling Trevs instructions are to look for good young prospects who can potentially improve the club and then if they move get some profit......Hughil as an example.
Putting a value on some of our current squad could make him quite happy at the moment.
 
I'd rather have Ben Pearson than Joe Ledley.

Rather have Paul Huntington than John Terry.

Rather have Sean Maguire than Darren Bent.

Rather have Tom Barkhuizen than Traore.

I'd rather have a team full of passionate players than Premier League overpaid mercenaries that you never feel a connection with.

Football is about more than money and always should be.

Don’t disagree with any of those.

TH financing promotion to the prem would be his decision and would make no one else anything, let alone sad gits driven by money.Nice try at deflection though.

Of course JK, think the smiley probably indicated just a little banter with you on my part.Mind you it doesn't take much blood in the water to start a feeding frenzy on here.🙂

Regretfully and I DO mean Regretfully my answer has to be NO---WHY?—because our past history suggest whenever we do get the chance (Div1 playoff excepted, we ‘blow it’---This is especially true in reaching for the Premiership, the Club always lacks that crucial ambition to get there---Under Moyes and Davies we had that chance and the Board refused to back them, and surprise surprise (Are you reading this JOAN) Both Managers left to pursue their ambitions elsewhere, the same could be said for Grayson (although in his case definitely the wrong option)--- I am willing to bet (again sorry JOAN) Alex Neil will be the next one--At the moment we are crying out for an experienced (at this level) striker---I mentioned earlier in the season MITROVIC at Newcastle, some posters said we couldn’t afford his wages, well Fulham a Club similar to us CAN,and he is scoring goals for them and they are in direct completion for a playoff place---Don’t be surprised in two weeks time it happens here, he has form and he’s a typical striker that you need it THIS division---So sorry fellow posters until we have am Owner willing to back properly his ‘So called’ ambitions, Championship football is what it’s going to be---I hope I am proven wrong and if so you can quote all this back to me at the time if so.

When I went to the forum last Monday, it was very positive it has to be said. We were told how much Greg Cunningham wanted to play for us and he was far from alone. It’s also encouraging how Hugill was not sold, despite his transfer request, until it suited the club and, in fairness that sale WAS right for the club in my opinion.

PR explained to us, when one person said they weren’t bothered about promotion and that we should remain realistic, why we have no choice but to be promoted. I really do believe the club is in the right place both financially and with it’s infrastucture to take the next step. What we can’t control though is AN’s future and other bigger clubs will be watching the job he is doing here. Having said that, he did say on Monday he is enjoying his time here, how much he admires his players’ work ethic and the relationship with PR is good without having to go through Uncle Tom Cobblie and his Aunty.

All in all I am way more positive than negative and I still think we can do it this season but, if not, this league best be prepared for us next season because I really believe we will be the new Fulham (of their promotion year).

Lush to read Joan and I agree totally with your take on our current situation.

Couldn't have put it better myself...... Rest in peace billy graham we have a new preacher!! ??
 
The critical question for me is can Ben Pearson manage 13 games and only get 3 bookings. If he gets 4 that’s a 3 match ban which will obviously be for games near the end of the season which is a big worry.

He's 12 yellows in 22 games, so what do you think?

No but Browne has proved he can step up alongside Gallagher and Johnson and Welsh played well against Wolves imo before that dive.

I've think we've adapted to play without Pearson this season.

I agree but there is no doubt we are stronger with Pearson and more likely to make top 6 if he could avoid the ban.
