A thumping from the Mags and the WHU result doesn't help. I just can't see them getting out of it.
I think it's good teams the size of Bournemouth, Burnley, Brighton can compete in the PL
I’ve been surprised at your demise this season but it was some achievement to get in the premier and stay there for a few seasons. For all except the big city clubs I think it’s hard to attract and keep the calibre of players required to thrive in the premier league. I like the way Bournemouth are set up with a relatively small but modern and tidy stadium in contrast to say, Burnley, who always appear down at heal because of the state of Turf Moor.we've been terrible all season. doomed!

Never liked going to Dean Court or whatever it’s called now. Smartened up yes but it still holds less than 12000. Turf Moor yes shabby but I have Soft spot for old grounds like that. Kept a bit of character even though the away end needs major repair. You are spot on with the difficulty of attracting players to compete. That has to do with money as much as the area And what money you do get is frittered away in over priced average talent. Paying £19m for Solanke, £16m for Danjuma, £15m for Peter Billing! £12m for the Bristol City left back. Some terrible buys there that haven’t been good enough
I know people complain rightly about our recruitment record over the years but the grass isnt always greener at other clubs.

It had to happen sooner or later. They haven't resorted to defence at all costs, which ultimately fails anyway. Howe has done really well there.
