It feels like they went down the Norwich/West Brom route of pocketing the parachute payments to build a stronger squad and give it a second go in a year.
> desperately begging big clubs for loan players, the sheer cliff face to 35 points, hours spent waiting for VAR decisions, 21% possession against Manchester City, elite tactical fouling. Getting bossed 2-0 at home and feeling weirdly grateful. Chris Sutton suddenly deciding to have an opinion about you. Getting rinsed by agents. Getting beaten by literal nation states. For the teams at the bottom of the food chain, the Premier League has come to resemble an abusive relationship.
This part resonates hard.
Brilliant article, I know redditors don’t read but this one is worth it. Fun and engaging read
