Punching above our weight. What do you think would elevate us above mid table next season?

That's down to clubs like forest and villa spending a fortune to stay up, I would imagine that Burnley, Luton and Sheff Utd all made a tidy profit from their season in the Premier. It's not down to the players and their agents, how the club capitalise on their success.

Premier league clubs only made a loss due to ridiculous spending on players, the clubs had combined operating profits of £460m and £459m in 20/21 and 21/22 seasons.

Burnley spent a £100 mill on players after they stormed the Championship last time . They still couldn’t stay up . If we got up next season , would fans be happy with taking the money but having another 11 pt season ?

I didn't realise that they'd spent so much, as you say, the gamble didn't pay off. Their parachute payments will be taken up paying for all those signings and their wages.

Burnley blew it by changing too many players and not changing enough tactics.  Down to the manager, who has . . . gone to Bayern Munich.  Not easy to explain really.

Isn’t that the point/problem with parachute payments? They can afford to blow that sort of money on players who collectively weren’t good enough to compete in the Premier League but might well be far too good for the Championship (depending on whether they were wise signings and who their next manager will be).
