Colonel Getafe
Player Valuation: £25m
The only chance of 'success' this club has is if they start taking the cup competitions seriously. Most clubs care more about ensuring the Prem riches keep coming in than they do about winning cups (how often do teams at the bottom of the Prem put out reserve squads against opposition because it doesn't matter who wins), because money IS 'success' in the modern game, and there's more money in finishing a few places higher than there is in lifting the "mickey mouse cup" or "three-handled tin pot". Most players would rather play in the UCL 6 games a year than win a League Cup. Sad reality is this club -regardless of who is in squad or the lack of quality- seems to have a mental block when playing in cup competitions and put in utter garbage performances and crash out time and time again, shrug their shoulders and act like it doesn't really matter. I know it's hard to compete with the likes of City buying trophies every year but Everton shouldn't be turning their noses up at potentially winable competitions (IF we get a lot of luck!).
But we live in the age of league position is all, so without another £500m+ spent --and spent wisely!!-- there's no chance of being a top 4 regular let alone winning league titles. Reality is we're a mid table team for the forseeable future. (Heck, even if we somehow did manage to recruit some top players instead of rubbish and somehow managed to have a Leicester miracle, they'd all be picked off by UCL clubs the next year anyway).
