Yes. They're barely league 1 standard over most of the pitch but have financially doped their way to getting strikers who can finish. And obviously the refs have been briefed that they're a big club down here (despite getting 14,000 in the championship for the last 8 years) so have to be given every marginal decision. I don't think they'll find the championship that accommodating.
Yeah I hope so, but it doesn't offer me much consolation. Also, they can and probably will just throw ridiculous money at it, again!.
No, there's a lot of clubs who'll finish lower end of the Championship this season, who can't compete financially with them next year. They won't trouble the top 6, but they'll be clear of the drop. Fowlsesque.
