Overall, the size of a club's wage bill is the best predictor of success. Obviously there are exceptions, but that doesn't alter the fact that there is a correlation
Correct Sean, as described in the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes chapter" of "Why England Lose"
The average league position of a team between 1998 and 2007 improves the more you pay for players
Leeds were 10th in the table with an average league position of 13 and a spend of players which was 1.7 relative to the average spend of all clubs
Random luck taken into account still leaveas a correlation of 90% over about 15-20 years so pay for the players win things, don't pay be Rotherham United.
I would reccomend this book to anyone even vaguely interested in facts and an interesting slant on the madness of football club management.
