Disagree. They've bought themselves an excellent Championship squad

and are having a free hit with it in the Prem. Davies and Delap are prem quality, Hutchinson has the odd good game but broadly flatters to deceive, they've got nothing else at the required level.

We also took an excellent Championship squad up and had a free hit with it and it didn't end well for us either. They just spent more on theirs than we did on ours.

They won't lose too many players over the summer and will be a force at champs level next term, though will probably suffer from relegation hangover and unrealistic expectations to smash everyone in the lower half of the table.

Double promotion followed by staying up a few seasons is something we've done relatively recently so as usual they want to follow in our footsteps; but on evidence to date, not happening for them.

Form is temporary; class is permanent.
