West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson feels the club is on the right track to becoming an established Premier League outfit.
The Baggies are holding their own in their second season back in the top flight with a current position of tenth on the table and Hodgson feels that they are close to making this a regular occurrence rather than going up and down from the Championship.
"That has caused so many heartaches to so many clubs who have come up into the Premier League, had an initial good season only to go down the following year.
"We're not going badly; the club is making very big strides to being a very stable Premier League club in the category of Stoke, Everton and Fulham.
"At the start of every season they are not thinking 'can we stay up?' They are thinking 'can we get into the top 10?' It would be nice to be in that situation.""What is most important is getting through this difficult second season so we don't fall foul of what is known as the 'second season syndrome'," he said.
