Chelsea and Man City have spent a fortune buying up talent to keep hold of a top four place. Man Utd have also spent a lot, but not as prolifically as the former teams. One likely reason for this is that Man Utd are run as a business, albeit a heavily indebted one. So they can&#8217;t afford to run the business in an insolvent manner. Much of this relies on success though, so they HAVE to do well or they will suffer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Outside of those three we have Arsenal. While they may be seen as underpeformers, realtively speaking they are not. But the thing I like about Arsenal is the way they run their business. This article gives you a peak inside this: &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-11403202\">https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-11403202<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because of this I would tip Arsenal to be there or thereabouts for a few years. You never know when a new Man City or Chelsea could come along, but I feel Arsenal are in the unique position of having a decent vision of how the club should be run off the field and a\u00a0 consistent pattern of performance on the field. You can&#8217;t fund immense losses forever, so you feel those clubs burdened with those issues will eventually have to revert to a more sensible model. That should mean they head for lower performance in general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The finances in football have distorted the landscape significantly, I think this has lead to football losing it&#8217;s soul somewhat. I&#8217;d be in favour of a more level playing field, but I realise that&#8217;s unrealistic now. But sooner or later football will have to pull itself together. In the meantime follow teams at either end other financial scale for season long value opportunties.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2723\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"2723\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you look at the top of the premiership there is a lot of &#8216;buying points&#8217; going on.
