    It has changed a few times over the years, it was 4 years the first time we went up, diminishing year on year, then the second time we went up we only got 2 years.

    It really is quite telling though that from 12/13 onwards we had 8 consecutive seasons in which we received premier league money in one way or another, but we ended up being significantly weaker following those 8 seasons than we were beforehand

    I also think that it's not easy to shift out some high wage earners, stopping you being able to bring in some players you'd like. There'll be some dead wood in a relegated side that you've either got to pay off or hope they do something for you in the lower division.

    They wasted the cash from the Icelandic bloke, forget his name, £45 million on people like clucas, bastion and others, that did them in.
