Burnley may have bounced back though I doubt it was intentional. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can plan to bounce back to the Premiership, yet that seems to be on the minds of the club and many supporters. Huddersfield, a smaller club, less financial clout, smaller crowds, they spent, and wisely, to stay in the Premiership. I'm sure they reckon they'll have little chance of getting back for a long time if they were relegated.
I'm not advocating throwing tens of millions in the direction of over-hyped players, but the truth is, you more often than not get what you paid for. I do hope our next 4/5 signings are of proven quality at the top flight..
