Regardless how much money those outside the 'big 6' get, the 'big 6' will always have more and be able to cherry pick whatever player they want.
Couple years ago the bottom 14 at least had some uniqueness about them. We had a lethal finisher and high potential defender, Stokalona were the team of 'nearly great players' getting second wind, Leicester had their quick counters, West Ham had Payet at his best, Southampton had a great attacking team with Pelle, Tadic and Mane. Shaw, Chambers, Alderweireld, Lallana and Schneiderlin too. More recently, Van Dijk. Even Pochettino. So many of them cherry picked away and reinforcing their positions at the top.
All the money has done has turned the bottom 14 into scouting pools for the rich boys. Why take a risk on a target when you can let one of the 14 'lesser clubs' buy them and trial them in the premier league for you?
Tottenham made the jump up by firstly having Bale money, then hitting the jackpot with two great academy players. Perhaps we could have, too, if we held onto Stones and Rom. 'Ifs' and 'buts'. Meanwhile we're just lingering with the rest.
