Not having previously gone up and cut their cloth at a higher level, I guess

Of the 12 or so teams that were in the Prem around the same time as us

5 of them are in the bottom 8, and are in a similar financial pickle as us, .

The 3 exceptions being Wolves, Brum, Reading, Sheff U - all of whom have more weathly White Knights than us and the other 4 around us.

Crystal Palace is the final one of the 12 I would see as having similar resources as us - but you could argue they have the added benefit of youth players coming through.

Oh and of course Bradford, Leeds, Nottm Forest, Leicester, have all fallen further than us.
