I wouldn't blame any of the top 5 mate, the increased TV money has made things like gate receipts, commercial income and CL money the least decisive they've ever been in terms of spending power. The rest of the league need to get their act together and improve on recruitment.
I mean ffs Atletico Madrid have less money than most of the PL teams, but they have no problem competing both on the domestic and European stage.
Napoli have the same budget as Burnley.
Let that sink in.
The premier league's lower half has been pissing away money for the last 5 years, keeping the standards the same while the money has ballooned.
Hopefully teams like Watford, Bournemouth and Everton are leading a charge of modtable sodes who realose that by just beong competent they can guarantee safety and maybe sneak into Europe.
I think we're seeing the end of twats like Pulis, Pardew and Hughes, to be replaced by gifted European coaches who can make use of the incredible amount of money they have access to.
