I think a very important element which hasn't been

mentioned much is that if the team goes down it will be much more difficult to survive when next promoted. Go
down this year and even if you come back up, teams like Swansea and West Brom and Bournemouth will have had two windows to buy much stronger players than they currently have with the new TV money. The gulf between promoted teams and current Premier teams is going to be greater and it won't take many windows to do it.
