I must have been dreaming

I can't find anything in there explaining 'what went wrong'. What went wrong anyway, a small town club survived 6 year in the PL on next to no money, far longer than anyone anticipated or forecast, before economic reality kicked in and they were relegated. Seems to me that there can't have been much wrong, and an awful lot must have gone right.

Ageing squad, long term contracts and no money spent on refreshing the squad during the last three seasons sinkov. If Garlick had not been intent on consolidating the contents of his bank account and consolidated our squad instead, we would be enjoying our 7th consecutive season in the EPL and well you know it mon ami.

Of course, we all know that, but there's no mention of that in the Grauniad piece.

It's up there with the Beano imo Sub, bit more content in the Beano, more to laugh at in the Graun, so I suppose it's a score draw.
