You can talk all you want about Pulis but the reality is that we are rubbish and if things don't improve, from top to bottom, pretty quickly then we will just dissapear and join the ranks of the many ex-prem teams in the lower leagues.
Bolton (remember them)
Wigan
Coventry
Cardiff
Portsmouth (?)
Birmingham City
Fulham
Blackburn
Wolves
etc, etc.......
I'm glad that I don't share your negative opinions or I should be anticipating a very miserable close season.
On the playing side, if things don't improve, at the 2015 performance rate we'd still be looking at a top ten finish under TP. However, I think given a few decent player additions, we will improve generally and won't feature in the relegation betting.
I see absolutely no reason why we should suffer the same fate as the other teams you cite. Most of those clubs hit problems through either ridiculous transfer outlay, crazy pay deals, no disaster planning for reduced income, mortgaging future income, owner funding withdrawal, owner illegalities and general lack of good management. Do you see any similarities with WBAFC there?
