but the teams that were richer than you still will be

Probably by even more in absolute terms, because if the total money goes up the difference in money between each finishing position presumably also increases (if they had ?15m more to spend than you before it'll probably now be well over ?20m more). So you'll still only be getting the (presumably worse) players they don't want.

        Agree. And that is why we are in a relegation battle this season (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 3, 21:43:20
