If Bolton and Portsmouth go up this season I’m expecting both of them to stop up comfortably even if they don’t make a lot of signings

I would also add that both Ipswich and Bolton seemed to play more like a cship team when we played them in div one. That style doesn’t always get promotion though hence why they’ve been there a while but once they do they are much better equipped to survive.
I suspect that is what MT would have tried to emulate if he’d have been retained

SUFC are another example of that.
