To answer the question - no chance!! I think their promotion last season came as a surprise to everyone, including themselves!! They didn't spend stupid money to try to stay up but the January window could be tempting for them!! The idea of going up for one year and then getting free failure money for the following four years from the Prem makes no sense to me but it is that 5 year money plan that will see teams accept relegation from the prem knowing they will now be one of the rich kids in the Championship!!! Teams who do not have parachute payments will always struggle to sign players etc against the teams with them. Doesn't always translate to promotion but it does create a two tier Championship as regards wages and transfers.
