It is a difficult choice these days isn't it ? We could get a big investment (not quite as
easy as that sounds, with our location) but that would still mean at best being a consistent mid to lower Premier League team.
To actually get investment to continue where we felt we left off in 92/93 is pretty much impossible in today's climate. You'd have to get constant investment considerably larger than Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd etc etc just to even think about it.
Leicester pretty much destroyed the fair play rules to get where they got for one season. I suspect if they get relegated they would be in serious trouble.
Perhaps it is worth it for even a single season of success if it means you actually win the Premier League, which is of course the ultimate domestic goal, but the stars aligned for their championship. It would still be a massive long shot even with their level of investment.
