Essentially since the formation of the Premier league we have spent 2 seasons there?
Even Swansea managed what 6 or 7 years and played good football when they were there?
Have we ever been at the top table for an extended period of time ? Winning things helps of course but a lot of the well supported clubs have mostly been high up in the leagues for extended periods
Wolves came down with us to the old fourth but didn't stick around they sort of pulled themselves back as they had the backing ?
Mind you it surprises me that Pompey have been down so long
