Cankles-McJeggings Nah not true. How can you prepare your side that’s essentially a championship side to come up against one of the top 5 teams on the planet when your owner has only afforded you a fraction of the money they got going up to invest into the side?
Burnley’s net spend was £8 million a season under Dyche and they survived for years. The £24 million Parker is complaining about seems generous in comparison to that.
The conclusion if you look at the data (I can’t be arsed to look at it in-depth) is probably that spending a lot does increase the likelihood of survival. But also that Dyche’s teams never got battered 9-0 by the top teams, even when they’d just come up, so Parker can be fucked off for being not anywhere near as good a manager for a team in that situation.
