What depresses me is that we had PL stability not too long ago, and a lot of people weren't satisfied with it.
We blew all of our stability by giving Dowie a £10m treasure chest to spend on average/poor players.
The best we can hope for is to improve a little as a club each year, delivering a slightly better product for fans each year. If we got back to the top flight, I'd hate to see us gamble again like we did in 06/07
It won't happen, because we don't have a manager and RD decides what get's spent. He's already made it crystal clear he won't spend unwisely, but the equivalent gamble today would be a spend of £100 million or so. That's how much EPL finances have changed and there's zero chance of him doing that.

£10 mill treasure chest sounds like nothing compared to today's premier league standards.
