I agree with this but I would put one caveat in to think about. The top 6 are well ahead in terms of money and ability, no doubt about that, but is the rest of the PL made up of medium sized clubs with the exception of Everton? The teams challenging for 7th place are the likes of Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester, Palace, Southampton etc are arguably "smaller" clubs than a number of teams in the Championship and do they "settle" for 7th spot??? Would the likes of L**ds, Derby, WBA, SWFC, Sunderland have higher expectations, assuming they had the financial backing in the first place? If Newcastle had an ambitious owner, could they challenge? I do wonder sometimes if the clubs in the PL have accepted their "normal" position as 7th place down because they are already at their peak! Just something to think about.
