But there is no "next level". That's my point. There's just one big block of clubs from 7th to 17th, and the only owners who care about finishing towards the top of that pile are those who are locally-based lifelong supporters of their club (Swansea, Stoke) and those who have impossible ambitions of making the Champions League (Southampton).
