Imo there’s no comparison Posh do things properly and speculate to accumulate (the onus being on strikers who make the most money) Britt asombalonga was purchased for a record fee and sold on for 6 million Dwight Gayle £500,000-£4.5 million Toney bought and sold for massive profit Clarke Harris bought for a million and will no doubt be sold for many more.
I’m sure there are many more.
The difference is that they are spending proper money in order to make things work…. We are spending 50k on Harry smith etc,an expenditure of roughly 10% of the posh model.
To give an example if posh had signed Callum Morton on loan they’d have put cash on the table and made the deal permanent in order to make a few million.
We didn’t and signed Ryan edmondson on loan
We did put money on the table for Callum Morton, West Brom weren't selling. Go and support the P*sh and be happy, your admiration knows no bounds as we see by your numerous posts, no doubt typed with those little six fingered hands!

Go through the leagues and pick out clubs who are punching above their weight after significant development? Derby, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Wigan, Blackburn, MK plastics, the list of who isn’t goes on and on. Of course there are short term current exceptions and there always will be. The bottom line is that generally speaking teams will return to the level they have historically been at the most. Peterborough will almost certainly end up a league 1-2 club. It shouldn’t stop you trying otherwise what’s the point and a few seasons in the championship would be nice, but don’t be thinking they’ve disappeared over the horizon for ever, not a cat in hell’s chance. Statistically speaking they will end up right back where they started, probably when the current chairman moves on and I challenge anyone to demonstrate that theory is statistically flawed.

Burnley are 1 or 2 bad managerial appointments away from the bottom of the championship tbf but have done extremely well under Dyche's stewardship

of those Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth have or had big money owners but i take your point about Swansea and Luton. Swansea have also got a fantastic ground, not sure if that was down to them or their council.

Believe it was the council, and was agreed at a similar time to the original Sixfields development

Swansea also have big overseas backers and the ground was built by a council/developer consortium. Luton have to be the biggest yo-yo club there is from being in the Prem and winning the League CUp to dropping back to non-league and back again.

Don't they share their ground with egg chasers? Brentford, Swansea, Hull, Reading, Bristol, Coventry, Huddersfield etc. All council initiated stadiums with added private finance to provide a suitable home for the their sporting clubs. Its our council that's Jewson south west league.

If we shared with the Saints we would have a 15,000 capacity and boxes already done

I know it’s a real shame, the gardens would be perfect size for us going forward. Sixseats is a pathetic looking ground, it needs major investment, now what could enable that to happen?

Don't the club normally put out a list of players that are available for free transfers?
Assume there are a few that have been told they wont get much game time...
