The top 6 plus Everton and probably now Newcastle are in another stratosphere in terms of spending power. Leicester, Palace, Bournemouth, West Ham have all shown a willingness and ability to outspend us over the last few seasons. Wolves spent circa £30M on Jimenez.
So we are basically left with Brighton, Burnley, Watford and the promoted teams as financial peers. Its not ALL about finance but it is highly likely/inevitable that we are going to get squeezed out at some point sadly.
