I do wonder what will happen when their owner gets fed up or bored with throwing his money away....
Our own Jimmy Hill was the man largely responsible for getting rid of players wage ceilings. Now that has come back to bite us but he never envisaged wealthy owners of the likes there are around today.
The main problem i have personally is the fact these clubs are not run as businesses in the sense of the word. Man Utd Rob are run that way and have huge debt that may sink them in time but when a personal fortune can be allowed to be placed into a club without the checks and balances then it simply becomes an individuals play thing as with Abramovich to a large degree as Chelsea could never ordinarily support the debt the likes of Man Utd and Real Madrid can.
It's plain wrong and if they allow it to such fashion then lets see these wealthy men allow the football to be watched for free? It wouldn't hurt them would it? If they can pay several players a million squids a month then let the fans watch for free.
All teams 'bought' it - just relevant to the times, prices and starting platform. United and Real Madrid have done the same, when Liverpool were the big team they paid the most and could attract the best players. It's many years since a team entirely nurtured through has won it.
As for their cash its good for the gmae. The money is spent on and stops it sitting in a Sheik's account but sees it in the UK and teh wages they earn are 40% tax into our economy so that we pay less.
