The teams that finished "best of the rest" were built during an era where we wouldn't even pay transfer fees, so I'm not convinced it's major investment that will fix things.
We rode our luck in that era too in with respect to injuries and suspensions, and along with poor form, that his hurt us again this season.
It's a black art siging players that are going to gel and get the best from each other. Even the big EPL teams struggle with that.
I think I heard that financially we could maintain the same budget for one year if we were relegated, but let's hope we don't test that theory.
