Chelsea are in a unique meltdown. This summer I expect our spending to be pretty restricted.
Anyway it’s not just about Newcastle, all teams should have the chance to compete for trophies, Newcastle are in a far more fortunate position than most and we do have a slim chance of competing regularly. I’d like to see a far more even playing field throughout the league when it comes to player spending, but I don’t know how we get there. Historically, big outside investment has been the route to the top, but in recent years this has been framed as “cheating” or “financial doping”.
