For the last two seasons, at least, we have been hanging on by our finger tips. The team has not been good to watch - more a test of masochism for the supporters.

What do we have to show for our years in the PL and the money that has brought?

Improved training facilities, improvements to the ground, a European adventure.

After that? We have a squad, or what will be left, that may struggle in the Championship. A management team who got us promoted twice but whose style is probably outdated by current standards in the Championship. An Academy that appears to produce little in quality.

As we know, the money in the Garlick era was not wasted - it was not spent!
