I agree with that sentiment but it is also indicative of the increased net transfer spending as well. Watford's net spend is around £19m this season which they have never gotten remotely close to before. In fact they more usually run a deficit.

Similarly The Foxes have upped the anti quite during this and last season (although Vardy was a steal) to around £20m net per season.

You would expect some return for that to be honest - although perhaps not as much as The Foxes are returning which is amazing.
With even more money already hitting the EPL it is highly likely that this situation will continue in the seasons ahead.
Against Rayo, their perennially skint tiny neighbours, I couldn't bare to watch much of it, it made me sick. It was like Barca v Levante from last season, Messi & co running around after every goal as if they'd just won the WC. Barca, RM (& Bayern) have no humility, I hope Atletico win that league.
The smallest clubs can offer b.i.g wages now, this'll make it ever more difficult for the likes of Liverpool and Spurs to be regular top 4 teams.

A product of less than egalitarian divvying up of monies between the clubs I'm afraid. Can't see it changing any time soon. Polar opposite of the EPL.
I like to watch Everton, but then I liked to watch Wigan too.
I saw the game v Palace and some of the play was breathtaking, beautiful, yet Palace nearly stole the 3 points, I can understand that the results must be frustrating

Nice link thanks - have to say I missed that. So at least a step in the right direction from next season.

I blame Sakho. A liability. He plays football like I used to: no finess, no skill, no ability other than to muscle someone off the ball. The one thing he has that I didn't is a deep belief he's actually good. Hence all the attempted tricks and backheels etc, you're a defender just feckin hoof it!!

It's appeal time!
Did he tell his doctor he was suffering from catarrh and the doc misunderstood him?
No, that looks nothing like a stage plaster does it...?
