What I find really interesting about this list is that at least 12 (if I am not mistaken) of those teams have been in the premier league more recently than Leeds and had access to all that revenue.
Just shows how hard this league is.

4 of the more expensive clubs have been in the bottom half most of the season, with 2 of them in a relegation battle, one of those 2 being doooooooomed!!!!

There's a further 10 teams in lg1 and lg2 that have tasted Premier league before now if you include the reformed Wimbledon, these being Coventry and Swindon in lg2, and Wimbledon Wigan Blackburn Blackpool Bradford Portsmouth Charlton and Oldham in lg1
That means 49 clubs out of the 92 current top 4 divisions clubs have tasted the Premier league, that's over half, if this trend continues of having so many teams taste the pl and then fall out of it, the championship will be rebranded as the junior Premier league or Premier league 2, or Premier league B, etc, football as we know it has changed massively, not necessarily for the better though?!

Surely the Burton squad is worth more than 0.5m in today’s inflated value market?
