</p><p>“However, they've got brilliant owners with plenty of money, so hopefully they spend a little bit, and the team can challenge at the top of the league and maybe even get promoted in the next few years. If they could even get in the playoffs, that's always a lottery where they could thrive and get promoted.
</p><p>“I hope they do go up within the next few years, as I would love to have a Welsh team back in the Premier League, especially one I have such close connections with. I certainly wouldn't bet against them being in the Premier League within the next couple of years.”</p>
