We know what doesn't work
I'd like us to try strengthening the spine to Prem quality and filling in the rest with good champs players. More than that we'd breach FFP (though part of me also likes the Forest model of take your medicine, stay up anyway). Better than upgrading all over the pitch but just to better chumps players (the scum model) or doing nothing at all (the last time we went up model). Big risk of it all golng south when one takes a knock.
Would that work? Not a clue and if not then the risk is all the prem quality players f**k off in the summer; but hopefully for a wedge and we go again stronger, or something.
Suspect 2-3 yoyos are now a requirement before actually staying up, even Everton/Wet Spam/Wolves are significantly better than even Leeds/Sheff U/Burnley these days.
