The Dortmund model could work in the prem up to a point , until you hit what Germany currently doesn't have, classless moneybags clubs like citeh and chelski. Having said that though, if Villa fans were willing to give Lambo time to do what he has to do, maybe in perhaps 4 or 5 years time, we could sneak a CL spot and then, hopefully, Europe woud be our oyster and fans of the aforesaid clubs would be saying "fook me, how did they do that?"
