He's right though that even if we'd done that we'd probably still have gone down

and lost those players over the summer ending up no further forward. Sustainability is the key and the club went the other route trying to shore up foundations for future pushes. Not sure that's really worked out either and I don't have a ready answer for what would work. In my head that first route - get a Prem-ready spine, worry about the rest later - is possibly the best shot honestly. Once you've stayed up you're then in a much stronger place.
