Yeah, they instantly sacked the manager that won it, that’s how much they value that competition.

Got them back up spending zero did he? Seem to recall he spent £150m in 3 seasons there.
Bought Miguel Almiron for £20m. Maybe it’s a blessing we don’t have any money to spend.
it's a relegation. Fire sale is entirely appropriate. Basically, anyone any good flies the nest
his net spend was minus, so I think you need to check your figures
'cannot possibly'. you make getting out of the championship seem like the easiest thing in the world. Which is of course nonsense. they play off final has got more money riding on it than any other game in world football, it's high stakes and a devilish league to get out of. Just ask leeds

When you’ve got double the wage and transfer budget of every other Championship club, it makes it a little bit easier…
Plus he got them relegated in the first place.
It is the easiest thing in the world when you have a mid-table Premier League squad. Chris Hughton did it getting over 100 points.

Carlo Ancelotti actually.
if you extrapolate the number of points he gained in those nine games he would have had them ninth in the league, so he didn't get them relegated really
ah, even worse.

Did he or did he not spend over £150m in 6 windows? Regardless of where the money came from. If he wasn't backed, they wouldn't have made it available.
In response to fire sale about losing good players, they lost 2 good players. The rest was pretty much crap for them who hadn't played much or had been out of form for ages. Eg cabella who had been on loan the season the got relegated anyway, janmaat who has since come good but played 32 times across 2 seasons as a squad player due to injury, cisse who went to China after struggling to score and was at that point a 1 in 4 striker for them in 100 apps. Colocinni who was 34 and left on a free. Taylor who went to the US as wasn't good enough and bigrimana who made 25 appearances over 3 years. It wasn't a fire sale or good players.
but it wasn't a mid table squad was it. it was a squad which got relegated, and then had its best players sold
what do you mean, regardless of where the money came from. it's absolutely key to judging his tenure there. he wasn't given any money. he bobbed and weaved with a squad which had just been relegated.
