Exactly and if it wasn't for the money, that spell would have lasted much much longer.
Those teams did horribly in quite a few seasons over the past 10 years with PSG nearly getting relegated twice and Monaco actually playing in Ligue 2 for two seasons.

Yeah you're right it would have taken a lot longer. Although now I can't even remember exactly what we were arguing about

 

Oh well, I'm glad the money teams are there, it would be so much more boring without them. Take out the get rich quick teams and the only real top sides in Europe would be Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Possibly with Atletico Madrid, Dortmund and Liverpool getting in there as well. With them there are so many more, not just at the top but lower down as well.

The only good thing about money is, when it's invested in the youth system.

Considering most of the rich clubs became rich rather recently, they didn't contribute anything (from that new money) to the good players of today.
The players would've been there regardless, with the only difference being in them playing for clubs that deserve being in the Champions League.

It's not like Bayern, Barca, Real, ManU etc. could just buy up all of the great players on the planet, so there are bound to be 2nd tier clubs that have multiple great players.
