It’s an interesting dynamic for them....

Which does more damage? Not making loads of signings and getting relegated, or making loads of expensive signings (fees plus wages) of players that might (but might not) keep them up?

I guess it’s the second option, even though it’s an expensive route, they may not care overly.
