Will we ever close the gap?

Well, one of the first things we need to do before they inevitably introduce financial restrictions (and they will), is throw enprmous amounts of money into our Academy, our coaching setup and our scouting.

This for me

The cartel have fixed it so no-one can close the gap. Their cup wins are hollow.

They want the PL to be like a F1 procession while the accountants and businessmen like control and predictability. You can have the odd underdog "battling" upset here and there in the most "exciting" league in the world but no more than that.

I actuallly prefer the championship from a football fan perspective.

I have to agree with you on the championship, far more entertaining to watch as a fan, than the 100% rigged Premier League.
Whatever we do, the FA will implement rules to shut us down, to prevent us dislodging one of their darlings.

The next window will be the big one for us.
