Careful of what you wish for.
As it could go as bad as Leicester, Southampton, Villa and Brentford.
Ha indeed......But maybe Ipswich though!!!

Hes proved hes a championship operator and not a prem player imo.Hanley has to be dropped in my opinion
I think some of the players we have bought and loaned Bears are good fir the future. We got them on the cheap because they are not ready yet and a lot of work has to be done on their progress. The problem is that we are in the Premier league NOW and we needed to purchase Premier league standard players in order to stay up and bring on these other lower level (at the moment) players for the future. It needed investment for it to work. Everyone in the know, knew this model would not work but we were told to swallow it and hope for a miracle.It is also interesting that the players we sign don't seem to fit the model of a DF team.
Look at the videos of Rashica, Tzolis and Placheta for example. The videos show them either picking up the ball on the halfway line and the use their pace to run at players or having someone pick them out and they then use their skill to round the defender and smash it home.
I think I saw Placheta use his pace once last year against Huddersfield. Rashica looks like Ben Marshall and Tzolis I haven't seen much of.
DF likes the slow build-up play and the backwards - sideways passing. I am sure if these guys were on another side who like to play their way like Leicester they would be dangerous and I bet had a few assists and goals already.
