At the minute them two are hoping that our signings will flop rather than being hopeful what they do will work.
No doubt about it, more likely than not we go back down, maybe we even finish below those two, it’s very much possible.
But imo we are the only one of the three with an identity, with a strategy, and one that if it works, can take us to a position that is more than just another number in the prem (just my opinion).
Look at Leeds and Burnley’s managers if you want to simplify things. Two really solid managers, but are known for two things, getting teams promoted out of the championship, and going down with a whimper from the premier league. Is that the sign of clubs that have a strategy to keep kicking on longer term? Maybe, they could stay up (hope they both do if it’s not at the expense of us ) but I wouldn’t swap what we are doing, wouldn’t even consider it. Time will tell if we’ve got it right.
