Yep the only shortcut is hoping that the Chinese money really flows in to the league.
I'd never wish success on our rivals but the truth is we need them to improve drastically ASAP otherwise the gap between us and BPL/Top 2 La Liga teams will keep on growing. And we'll be $#@!ed.
How can we keep getting strong TV deals when people look at the league, and see our old rivals AC Milan stating that they have < 10 million euros to spend in the Summer
People don't take this league seriously. That's the most damaging aspect of all of this.
