The frustrating thing is that, because of the quality of manager we have, we didn't need to spend hundreds of millions to be in a good place now. A couple of good purchases each season that Rafa has been here would've been enough. You finish 7th instead of 17th, it's 11 million quid, plus what the club earns elsewhere and re investing sold player money - it could've been so very different.
If you're not worried about relegation, you can have a go at the cups and with a reasonable mid table squad, there is always the chance that the stars can align (as they did for Leicester) when you have manager of this stature and quality.
I think it's too risky to invest like Everton did but when you look at what Ashley has done it makes you wonder why there isn't some kind of policing from the Premier League. Under their stewardship the league is being polarised and not being made more competitive - or maybe they want the top 6 to steam roller everyone else?
