I have always viewed this season as a bonus season to enable us to build funds, get better players and next time we go up, be in a position to have a much improved chance of staying there. The fact that we are still in contention to stay up at all this season is a miracle really. Thats why I am enjoying the ride/experience in the Prem now.
