Sounds as if Wijs will be OK, it was only cramp he came off with.
From the official site...
de Wijs’ afternoon did end on a frustrating note as he was forced off 15 minutes from time in what was only his second appearance since a four-week lay-off with a calf injury, although the 24-year-old insisted it was nothing more than cramp.

“After four weeks out through injury, it was tough to play two games in the space of five days,” he added.

“But I only came off with cramp, nothing more. There is no injury and everything is fine.”
 
I admire your optimism ST, but I fear a promotion would not hasten their exit, as others have alluded to, it could saddle us with them for longer, for 2 reasons;
a) £££ greed. With the potential for millions £ more, followed by more parachute payments, greed would overtake all else.
b) Ego. In their warped thinking, a successful promotion would validate their "business plan" and "football acumen" of running one of the best run clubs.
The cycle would continue.

I agree there's 2 ways to look at it HT. However, IMHO they'd take the money and run. I could well be wrong but I think they could use the capital to make more money elsewhere and that's all they care about.

I think the whole football experience bit them on the arse and thier egos want out....at the right (wrong) price.

I am probably wrong though they may thing another trip to PL heaven is right up thier back alley.

Fear not.
Doctor Allam stated only recently he wanted £50 million for the club.He stated he 'only' wants his money back.
So, IF we were to go up, there would be buyers snapping his hands off to buy the club. He'd get his £50 million back and would be happy.
I know this would happen as I also remember him stating "I never go back on my word. Never".
The Doctor is clearly a man of his word.
