Could Britain bankroll the Allies and rely on the Royal Navy?

Would Britain minimize its continental army, bankroll France and Russia, and rely mainly on the Royal Navy?

Not entirely; Britain would still need troops in Europe, while its money and navy supported the wider coalition.

The question invokes Britain's traditional combination of naval power, subsidies, and a relatively small continental army. British troops would still be needed on European ground, particularly once victory at Gallipoli placed them in the eastern Mediterranean and Balkans. At the same time, an Allied approach from several directions could pressure Germany to consider a naval breakout. The answer therefore combines an expeditionary army with financial and maritime power rather than substituting the Royal Navy for land warfare.
