We can demand attractive football when we assure our premier league status for the next 2-3 years, and we have an owner that is willing to pay for footballers that actually play decent football that cost more than our current transfer targets for this season. Unfortunately we are no longer at that stage and need to rebuild to get back to that stage.
For now, we are simply no better than the likes of Bolton/Wigan/West Ham/Wolves, heck even those teams have got a squad that could get a result against us home and away, not being pessimistic, but its the results against the likes of those teams and Blackbool/WBA and picking up hard earned points here and there against Top 8 sides is what will keep us up, and I think thats what Hughton is aiming for this season, we also need to make sure we would rather draw than lose at home if the situation arises, home advantage is what the likes of Wigan and Wolves stayed up on last season.
