And this quote too:

Three clubs — Villa, QPR and Brighton — have had around £300m pumped in by various owners. In all, 10 clubs have each had north of £100m thrown at them, and a couple — Derby and Bristol City — haven’t even reached the promised land.

Yes, quite. It does illustrate how speculative this division has become though - it can't end well for every club.

"Chansiri had presided over two top-six finishes (read: play-off failures) in his first two full seasons followed by a dispiriting 15th-placed campaign last term"

I thought Villa were going into administration in the summer and that would change things again, but that didn't happen so clubs will continue gambling as they are until someone does....
