It's easy to break into the 'top 4'

If you think about it, its not a static clique. Since the inception of the Premiership we have had lots of different teams in the Top 4 slots.

Man U
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea
Leeds
Blackburn
Newcastle
Tottenham

I think the only way to get into the top 4 is to get a good manager and spend wisely. Arsenal in the last 10 years havent spent anywhere near as much as say Newcastle or Leeds and yet they are in the elite. It is a total myth that you have to outspend to outperform.

People seem to think it's a closed shop and that only the rich clubs can get in there. Complete tosh. Of course money helps, but if you spend it on Luque, Bramble and Viana - you may as well not bloody bother.
