You stated "Norwich have invested wisely and also got there even with a relatively new manager"
My reply was making several points:
1. Norwich's investment in their squad was in the Premier League, you can't equate players purchased there with our situation
2. Norwich weren't promoted even...
Norwich probably had the best squad in the Championship thanks to the fact that they retained most of their good players when they were relegated. They're returning to the Premier league thanks to, not because of, the new manager. They had a great start to the season but were sliding rapidly...
