Furlong: Survival is the First Goal, But Why Can't We Push Beyond That? Furlong says there is no ceiling on what Town could achieve, but accepted that Premier League survival in the upcoming campaign is the most important next step in the club’s journey. I said it when I came last year, the club is not just trying to get to the Premier League, but trying to be a Premier League side and be a Premier League football club. Having previously played 38 Premier League games in his career, of which the vast majority came for West Bromwich Albion, Furlong is no stranger to the level. O'Neil can't believe his luck, coming back to manage in the Premier League after leaving Wolves with his credibility in tatters.
