    Agreed, although I was trying to keep the politics out of it , but seriously...without that level of financing (and it’s likely source) aren’t we just chasing the ‘dream’ of what Swale accurately describes as our club playing one of the ‘big 6/7’ on a more regular basis?

    Maybe the answer is a serious salary cap. The richer clubs would still benefit obviously, but at least they wouldn’t be able to effectively buy up two squads while simultaneously preventing rivals from acquiring much needed talent which is rapidly turning football into a variation of Monopoly.
