What would count as working? People keep asserting that we don't need a billion to compete but for the most part that seems to be the case. Chelsea and City dominate after spending billions. United are sort of an outlier but they do have considerably greater income as well as continued difficulty in getting quality players in. Then there is us. The 4th best funded team in the league finishing 4th or 3rd.
I like the idea of being able to compete without spending much but it seems to be wishful thinking rather than something born out of reality...
