Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits like just became tougher in the Premier League after Newcastle United's takeover.
Rodgers was one of the names on Newcastle's list to replace Steve Bruce following their £305million Saudi-backed takeover but the Foxes boss said on Friday night he had no plans to leave Leicester.
"I have huge respect for top players who keep winning and winning," said Rodgers. "Success is a disease. It's something that can set in with players and people and we have to ensure we keep pushing.
"Some of these players may think what we've done over these last couple of seasons is the best they can possibly do, but I'm here to win and I want to keep challenging.
"You have to keep proving a point. What you've done in the past is great. You'll be there in the club's history but you've got to get uncomfortable again and keep striving to be the best you can be.
"I've always taken on a challenge at the clubs I've been to. If there's a certain level of money at Newcastle and an infrastructure that allows that money to be spent wisely, then absolutely [it makes it harder for us].
"They are going to be able to attract a level of player and that could make it even more difficult for other clubs to reach the top positions.
"But we want to compete and we want to be fighting. We have a fantastic infrastructure and then it's about developing the team to allow us to be competitive."
