Do people honestly believe that consulting fans over a new manager would make a blind bit of difference, and we simply don't have the funds to spend £100s of millions required to retain Premier League status.
We got promoted in 2013 with Crystal Palace. We spent far more than them in that first season to stay in the Prem. They stayed there and kicked on and are now established. Leicester the following year didn’t need to spend 200m to stay in the league initially. Its not how much you spend it’s how you spend the money you do have to spend.

Look at Burnley. Have they spent 200m in total since they’ve been in the PL?
