Yeah more or less. The clubs above them even more so. We're now punching much more closer to the same level as those clubs, i think in a good year with CL football we're higher than a couple of them.

Which of course the statement 'joined when 5th highest turnover, left with 5th highest turnover' conveniently leaves out of the picture.

5th Turnover in 1999

The post you are quoting was discussing the period when we had Jol as manager and were trying to break the top 4 having turned around the poor run of league performances in the preceding ten years.
