Also the narrative that you need more money to compete isn't quite right. If you spend wisely you don't need as much.
Indeed. Greater revenue would enable us to spend more on transfers but that guarantees nothing. Look at Spurs.
There's a very strong correlation between spending on wages and league position, obviously there are also outliers too but ultimately the more you can spend the greater you will do overall.
Could argue Spurs are an example of this, despite doing terribly for years they have still been able to spend silly amounts this summer.
