With rich owners, under fairly even financial circumstances

we would have an 85% chance of staying up each year. With the owners we have, under the financial disadvantages,
and the imbalance in competitive talent we can put out on the field, we have about a less than 5% chance of staying up each year. This is not about Farke, or injuries, or bad luck, or styles of play. We are trying to stay in the Premier league with League 1 financial backing. Becoming established in the Premier league under these restraints is essentially impossible.
