Spending half a billion

To become an established Prem team that won't be in contention for winning anything.

It's the peak that any club our size can expect and is reliant on luck and being bankroled.

Following football these days you can only enjoy the ride, not the outcomes (unless you glory seek by picking a team like Liverpool, City etc etc etc).

Under Delia I liked that we had comparative success by developing youngsters and beating the odds/money.

Antonasso is likely to require a similar approach, but has more resources.

The Leicester thing is unlikely to happen again and won't be us. The funding model and money ruined football as a sport nearly 30 years ago.
