Even though they weren't real title contenders in the second half of the season, they improved their situation drastically. And since their management are probably just typical management looking at Excel spreadsheets first, this just "1 point to the title" situation, considering all the obvious improvements in the rest of numbers, will probably make them more willing to spend more on the transfer market to finally close the gap and to aim at the title for real next season.
