Football has changed though. I'm sure Bolton lost £35m in a season a couple of years ago and they still went down. Look at all the money Forest and Derby have spunked in recent years, money doesn't guarantee success
I think it's harder to get up now than ever before. With parachute payments and just the incredible standard of the championship you can have a good team but not even make the playoffs.
If CH keeps us up he will be the greatest without a doubt for me.
