Well

It depends on your benchmark. We have been told that it's honourable, clever, sensible, sustainable and is a path to success in the prem. You don't need the red pill to work out that it isn't possible to survive like this. We did brilliantly with Farke, Emi and Pukki, but it's hard to see us bouncing back up, and the prem is a joke without more funding. We have had some great years, it's true. Sustainable in the prem? Pipe dream
