Isn't this just an investment in the future?

Stay in the league by however means, reap the financial rewards (particularly the next three seasons), and cement the club's future as one of the top sides in the country?

The alternative is playing entertaining but lower standard football on shoestring budgets (like Ipswich).

Would you really swap places with Ipswich right now?
