Re: Moments that could have changed BFC forever
The 2009 play-off final.
If we'd lost that, we may never have reached the PL, and could conceivably have started a downward spiral.
As it is, next season will be our ninth Premier League seasin out of fifteen.

Re: Weghorst
Up to the time he joined us, he was averaging a goal in every three games, perfectly respectable.
Since then, he has scored twice in 37 PL appearances ( although many of those will have been s substitute).
The fact is, he is very unlikely to score the goals we need next season.

I see that Betfair are offering 80-1 for City to be relegated, as against 500-1 for United and Arsenal.
They must be factoring in the possibility of them being relegated automatically as punishment for financial irregularities. Even a 50 point deduction probably wouldn't relegate them.
