They've played the game. Who knows if they've won yet? If the signings don't work out and they come 5th they're in a large amount of trouble having spent so much. Given how high their wages to turnover is going to be they could also be in trouble if e.g. the TV rights fall in a couple of years time, something almost entirely outside of their control.
