Man U paid 60m for two players years ago (ferdinand and Rooney)... probably about 80m in todays money. Utd bought the title many times spent big money on many players, as did Chelsea, as did Blackburn, as did many other teams. I am not a city fan... The hypocricy of football fans is funny. At least the City owbers are building something propery, as anyone (like me) who lives in the area will tell you. massive infrastructure going on (spending hundreds of millions on the surrounding area) and community projects. This really is a dynasty being built... live with it. "bitter red" will be the new phrase to over take "bitter blue" in the coming years. I think I'll hop in a cab for a night out in manchester tonight... could be fun. |
But from where did ManU originally rise to the top? When Fergie took the helm ManU was almost dropping out of league. After that with excelent coaching and buying right players they managed to rise to the top and now they have huge amount of money to buy players they want because they have been so succesful. Chelsea rose to the top because Abramovich bought the team and spent billions. Same with City.
