They were just sucked into the Premiership by the lure of Sky cash.
It the grand scheme of things, you're not wrong. The commercialization of football from the early nineties saw a sea change in the culture of the game. Suddenly the incentive was profit and greed. The pricing out of the traditional fans in order to market the game at people capable of spending big in the club shop before the game, despite no cultural heritage to the clubs in question. Football has gone from something beautiful and unifying to just another product that fat-cats can exploit to line their own pockets. The Murdoch Sky Sports empire take a f**king bow.
