What a

[whitestomper45]

Gets harder each year as the top 15 or 16 have definitely much better squads than the bottom 4 or 5.

To think not that long ago we were in the EFL with

Villa
Fulham
West Ham
Bournemouth
Brentford
Palace

All of whom have kicked on and sit in that comfortable mid table zone (or sometimes a little higher).

We would probably need at least 8 players to stay up and possibly a new manager. Farke?s style seems to work in the second tier but he hasn?t been the greatest success in top leagues.

Yes those clubs have overtaken us helped with great appointments of Managers and Players as well as avoiding relegation from PL and the clubs growing revenue and stature.

Though Spam no longer own a ground and there was a cloud over Bournemouth financial arrangements when getting promoted.

With regard Farke in the PL, he wasn't backed by Norwich in the transfer market when winning promotion. He may want to change style but realise afair few find it a bit stilted presently.

I note 3 of our previous managers currently ply their trade in Lge 1 !
