Why don’t we just take the £200m, get relegated, take the parachute payments, use this year’s experience to reorganise and improve the squad further and get promoted again, but in a far better position to stay in the PL?
The alternative is to spend lots of money on ‘better’ players next season but with the strong possibility of still being relegated after one season but now with lots of debt. Just like we did when we previously spent 34 years in the top division.

Maybe we should pay off the £42.5 million we still owe for the stadium and have a set amount for transfer fees / agents fees / wages etc. which we are not prepared to smash to stay in the division? Don't know about interest payments on what we owe for stadium....

We lose money in this division. Wha are we even trying to do if not get to the PL and stay there? All back to L1 so the books look good? I genuinely don’t get it.

Or we could attract better players in the PL so let's sign the players then. Maybe they'd be good enough to keep us up and not have to go through the lottery of getting promotion again. Surely we've seen that coming back down with a shedload of money is not a guarantee you go back up.

Think this was already answered. But going back up to the PL after being relegated is a given as we have seen from the likes of Sheff Utd, Leicester, Luton etc. as well as Soton (who I think will miss the playoffs).
