Measured in multi-millions per season. They are running a business. They will survive in the PL as long as they can, with whatever means they can muster. They plainly can compete. What they can't do is to play smooth-flowing attacking football, because they cannot afford good enough players, even with the PL income. They're too small. But they can secure their finances for the coming decades by maintaining PL status for (say) 7-8 years, without overspending on players whose salaries will ruin them if/when they get relegated.

I've never rated him. Far too erratic for my tastes.
Not half as tough as travelling to Championship clubs and watching that. The Burnley fans are getting to watch the world's top footballers coming to Burnley and playing on their pitch. And occasionally they get to celebrate beating them.
Why would they adopt a model that this far has had far less success than the one they are currently using?
Meh, that chant will never catch on.
Or, in other words, players who would improve any bottom half club (if you're out side of the top-8 in a league of 20...)?
