According to Tony Adams.



But still bought. That £50m got us to the next level according to Adams. As the years went on and the market inflated by clubs like the established elite clubs like Man Utd, Real and the Serie A clubs, it went from £50m to £250m to build a team that could contend for the title and in Europe.
It's a very loose argument you have there.

City and Chelsea can afford to spend anything they want, and practically buy anyone they want if they chuck enough money at it. There is no barrier, save squad size and FFP (guffaw).

That 50m was to bridge a relatively small gap....not to finance limitless spending.

Of course its a leg up, but the comparison to City and Chelsea is very far fetched. That's a different league of doping.
