The only counter I'd have to that is that you really don't have to be very good to finish in the top 6 of the Championship.The ghost club status is my biggest fear, I don’t envisage us slipping through the leagues I do however see us becoming a championship club that comes between 10-18th yearly, you barely notice them unless you play them and you can barely name one of their players. Fosun are primed for allowing us to drift into that status, don’t want sell, don’t want to invest but want PL football but can’t understand why it never happens.
Relegation happens, problem is I’ve got zero confidence that Fosun will know how to manage that scenario correctly and will waste parachute payments.
There’s no such thing as being an established Premier League side it’s just clubs who’ve been it a long time.

Noise coming out the club is they’ve got no intention to sell up anyway.Pretty much what the Accountant said might happen if they can't find a buyer.
I don't believe them.Noise coming out the club is they’ve got no intention to sell up anyway.
Yet Stoke haven’t finished in the top half in the five or six years since they were relegated.The only counter I'd have to that is that you really don't have to be very good to finish in the top 6 of the Championship.

No, they had huge financial fair play issues so were unable to put more money in.Stoke are a financial ghost ship as the Coates family have stopped putting money in
Money goes in, bar 1 year for FFP reasons, Obviously they could afford to throw mega money at the club but not a gamble they want to take, but they are in a cycle of.Stoke are a financial ghost ship as the Coates family have stopped putting money in
I think you will find Denise actively pushed that too. Shall we say, the Coates family aren't exactly on the Oatcake christmas card listNo, they had huge financial fair play issues so were unable to put more money in.
