With how much though Alan? add some of the money he's forked out on players

and you're talking over 20m

Any manager could take a side up to the prem with spending of that kind of money. Pardew will prove that to be the case this season as Charlton have gone for it spending wise

Redknapp was the first to do a big gamble with 5m on free transfer but premiership players, it worked

The modern way is to come down and act like you haven't and blow twice as much to get back up

One day it will back on a team and they'll go into admin etc, but at the moment it's the fashionable way to go back up
