Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp echoed Kevin Keegan's concerns about the gap between the top four and the rest of the Premier League.
Newcastle boss Keegan watched his side crash to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea on Monday afternoon and warned his club's fans that it is unlikely that the Magpies will break into the Champions League places above the Blues, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Redknapp has now voiced his concerns and insists Pompey would have to spend around £150million to get anywhere near the current top four.
He said: "You would need £150million to spend to have any chance of breaking into that top four.
"Look at Liverpool last summer, they spent £28million on Fernando Torres and he is a fantastic player but who else can compete with that?
"I agree with Kevin Keegan, I do not see any way that anyone else can break into the top four.
"Tottenham came closest for a few seasons, but if you look at them now they have fallen back into mid-table. Nothing is guaranteed by spending money and it is getting harder and harder to get there.
"I can see more and more foreign investment coming into the Premier League because everybody wants to be associated with it.
"I can see American and Russian billionaires coming in, but the trouble is they all want to be winners and only one can win the title. Billionaires do not accept being losers."
