As a Norwich fan would agree with all of this.
We definitely don’t help ourselves with our stated model of not bankrupting the club by keeping spending low when we go up, but the Premier League is a relentless year of perhaps winnable games sprinkled amongst wars of attrition as others try to claw themselves a draw closer to the magical 40pts mark or inevitable hidings from those that are in the mini league above you in the greater number.
Something needs fixing somewhere for fans of the ‘lesser’ clubs, especially as us (and Fulham) have appeared to be gaming the system and taking up one of the relegation and promotion spots each year as we flip-flop divisions!

This. Championship is a better league than the PL (quality of football aside) and coming down to the league with a good squad is fun. The challenge is getting back out again. It's a great league because it's super competitive.
We're really struggling this time and teams like Villa, Wolves, Stoke, Fulham etc etc have all missed getting back into the PL at the first time of asking, even with good squads.
What you really don't want, is to still be there after the parachute payments dry up.
