Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3004459, member: 2221"] You can't use an exception to prove a point, come on. The EPL probably has about 5 clubs at the most who can compete for the title. The power houses such as Man Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal, and the clubs propped up by imense riches from their oligarch owners, like Chelsea and Man City. Realistically though, with the exception of Leicester, it's really down to Man Utd, Chelsea or Man City for the last 15 years, with clubs with a rich history like Liverpool and Arsenal unable to keep up with the big money of the those 3. Wolves, Everton and a few other EPL teams can still field reasonably good teams thanks to the unbelievably rich EPL broadcast deal, which allows them to source players from all over Europe, but their fight is really to get into the European competitions, not win the EPL. In fact, in every single domestic competition, you have at most 3 teams vying for the title, simply because they have far more money than the rest of their country's teams. Look at Germany (Bayern or Dortmund), Italy (Juventus, Milan or Inter), Spain (Barcelona or Real Madrid), Portugal (Porto or Benfica), Netherlands (Ajax, PSV or occasionally Feyenoord), etc... The advantages the Broncos undoubtedly have, do give them a bit of a leg up, but nothing compared to being able to spend 10x more than Sharks, Cowboys or Tits on players, and definitely not the expectation to be in the GF every second or third year. Put it the other way around. Why did Chelsea spend so much more than Newcastle? [/QUOTE]
