They may well be, but if you look at how they manage their finances, according to @Red Rain they keep a tight ship, but end up in the top half each season.
So please explain how you would have stop the club in your words from having the rug from being pulled? If you are referring to players being sold, can't believe this is even a discussion when it has been clearly stated that the players WOULD NOT SIGN another contract with us and wanted to leave. Just imagine keeping unhappy players upsetting the rest of the dressing room as again it was clearly stated. Then we are relegated, those players leave for nothing with a massive hole in our budget not having the sale proceeds to invest. Then we have to restrict even further who we bring in. Sorry but this criticism doesn't add up on that account. You need to get some perspective of how strong this league is now.
I could tell you, I'll probably get a slapped on the wrist again. Peanuts for a championship club. They'll have made their money back and more.
