How on earth can you ignore the money? Of course money is a factor in the pursuit of success. Since the season both clubs got new owners Leicester are the 9th highest spending team in the English leagues (£556m), Cardiff are 29th (£153m). They’ve also just spent £100m+ on new training facilities.

If we have enough money to do what Leicester can do, how come so few of the 28 other teams that have spent more not replicated it? Fulham, Norwich, Watford, Brighton and Palace have all spent about double than what we have. Double what we’ve spent and still pretty much Premier League relegation fodder.

Look at the teams with a similar spending to us;
QPR, 3 PL seasons and 0 cup finals.
Middlesbrough, 1 PL season and 0 cup finals.
Hull, 3 PL seasons and 1 cup final but relegated to League 1 as well.
Cardiff, 2 PL seasons and 1 cup final.
