Nice tool showing where clubs finished in the league and their respective wage bill over the past 3 seasons:

Leeds from the early 2000s? Nearly bankrupted that club and sent them down to the 3rd division for a few years while they regrouped.
If it wasn't Leeds scum I would feel bad for them.
I feel like those Blackburn teams, including the one that won the league, were a better story. Just a local guy who wanted to see his boyhood team win big, so he basically emptied his pockets into them and managed to built a tremendously fun and very good squad.
Yeah BSF stop being such a fucking dumbass and do dv's homework assignment.
Look past the condescending tone and the general tact of a sledgehammer and be a Man U fan immediately. After all, you've had 48 hours to learn about this shit.
The idea that my beloved Hull City Tigers, or whatever the fuck they're called, will never have a legitimate chance to win a championship, is a tough pill to swallow.

They can win one of the biggest trophies (FA Cup) in a little over two weeks, however
Yeah, lol at using "parity" and "PL" in the same sentence.
That's why promotion/relegation is so fantastic. Will Sunderland supporters ever sniff Europe? Not unless they somehow win an FA Cup. However, they have another battle that lasts until the very last hour of the season: staying up.

so if you win the FA cup you get a europa league spot?

How can you hate a bunch of Yorkshiremen?
I don't like this relegation bullshit. Seems like it would destroy rivalries and makes it tough for the smaller market teams.
