I think it's quite cyclical in the Champ these days, due to FFP. The likes of Stoke and Birmingham, as you've mentioned, have had to cut their cloth in the last 2-3 seasons after overspending and now they're going for it again in 2023/24. As a club, we could do without that kind of boom Vs bust cycle and I'm happy with a steady, sustainable evolution of the squad over the next couple of seasons if that's what it takes to become genuine top 6 contenders. |
