You're right.

Unai's not really up to date with this modern management intimidation lark, is he?

I should have said I prefer his style of "it is what it is", rather than cry to everyone how unfair it all is - he leaves that up to the self important dickheads.

The one for me is if we'd have kept our bottle and won the inaugural PL season in 92/93, would we have gone on to dominate the 90's instead of Utd? At a time when only the champions got into the newly branded Champions League, could this have been a genuine possibility?

With Ellis as Chairman that’s a categoric no from me.

I think it would be more like when Blackburn or Leicester won it - amazing - but within 5 years back to where we were anyway

What if we'd actually got promoted under Dr Tony, would we still have a club?

How much of the promotion Prem cash would have gone on clearing the debt under Xia?

We'd have basically been Fulham in the same period.  Gone straight back down, possibly come back up but mid table at absolute best.

while watching a lot of football of the buttock-clenching variety.

All of it. I think it would have been the same squad minus 30m for Grealish who we would have exchanged for 3 Spuds cast offs.
