If we do that and don't gain success then fair enough, we've done what we can. But we haven't done even that.

As for what is going on elsewhere, I cannot comprehend how anyone thinking clubs being able to throw unlimited amounts of money around repeatedly until it eventually works out for them without any consequences no matter how often they get it wrong - to the extent they are paying 100k towards the salary of another top 4 club isn't a problem. Albeit another problem
I agree with you, that having owners who can spend unlimited amounts isn't great for the game, however I don't believe that it completely stops clubs competing, Man U basically had the title sewn up before an inexplicable collapse, this without having a particularly good team.

We can't stop other clubs having huge amounts to spend, I refuse to believe we can't compete though, the problem is that we've decided we don't want to and that's incredibly frustrating.
