The defense line has become a gold-selling cave, why does Arsenal need to re-build?

Former Crystal Palace boss Simon Jordan said in an interview that the newly promoted team must increase their investment if they want to relegate, and the 120 million pounds of recruitment expenses may not ensure that they stay in the Premier League.
All three newly promoted teams have been relegated, so where do you need to go?
In the past two seasons, all the newly promoted teams in the Premier League have been relegated. After Sheffield United, Luton and Burnley, Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich are going to return home in teams.

Leicester's brilliant record in the Championship is as if it were yesterday, and the difficulty of the Premier League exceeded their expectations.
The last time that three newly promoted teams in the Premier League were all relegated, it was in the distant 1997/98 season. Now this has happened for two consecutive years, and the gap between the two leagues seems to be gradually widening.

Ipswich's £100 million investment seems not enough.
Large investment is not necessarily good, "frugal relegation" is definitely not good
Thanks to the league's big scale business strategy of dividing gold and silver, successful persistence in the Premier League can bring huge benefits to small clubs, and many newly promoted teams will complete the lineup upgrade with high investment. In the summer window of 2024, Southampton invested 90 million pounds to sign ups (7th in the league), and Ipswich spent 106 million pounds to buy players. Unfortunately, neither team was able to make up for their respective system loopholes and ended up being relegated early. Four years ago, Burnley tried the strategy of "frugal relegation" (only spending £30 million), but unfortunately Scott Parker failed to create a miracle.

2022 summer window, Nottingham Forest's luxury shopping is eye-catching.
According to Simon Jordan's analysis, Premier League teams need to spend 50% of their revenue (about £120 million) to renovate their lineups in order to cope with the cruel high-level competition. In the 2021/22 season, Nottingham Forest successfully passed the English Championship and upgraded to the playoffs. The owner Marinakis generously spent 160 million euros to introduce 27 players, directly bringing a new first-team lineup to the meritorious coach Cooper. The operation of the "Greek Ship King" is a role model.
"Parameters" raise lazy people, and it is difficult for old foxes to shake them. Premier League teams enjoy the protection of the parachute compensation system all year round. After falling into the Championship, the relegated team can still receive £49 million per year of compensation. Although this move ensures the financial security of small and medium-sized clubs, it also leads to class division in the Championship. Many teams are unwilling to invest heavily after entering the Premier League, and Burnley's lift journey over the years is proof of it.

Everton has Moyes in charge, and the newly promoted team cannot shake them.
In addition to the system raising lazy people, another reason for the difficulty of relegation among the Premier League's promoted team is that the mid- and lower-level Premier League teams led by Everton, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Brentford and West Ham have formed a "dominate power" - they generally have mature tactical play and scouting networks, and have accumulated rich resources and connections in the Premier League for many years, and have huge advantages in strength and experience. It is difficult for newcomers to break through their iron curtain. Everton relied on the back-range to relegate for several years, and West Ham continued to play badly and had no worries about relegation, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
