Ciao, SM -- http://www.gourockviews.co.uk I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously. Douglas Adams

I sense I will stir a lot of feelings around here but here's my own take on all this: Basically it doesn't matter. As long as the clubs don't go bankrupt, it's their business how they do their business. OK, when a club does go broke, then indeed it's cheating. But I don't know of any recent big-name case. As long as they find people and institutions willing to give or lend them money, everything is fine. There's no big difference between having a sugardaddy and earning your money from football-related income. You can see the latter as having a few million sugardaddies contributing to you (such as: people who pay to come to the stadium to watch your games, buy t-shirts or watch your team on TV thus making it worth for companies to pay you for commercials). Basically there's no big difference between one sugardaddy or a million of them. There is however a difference if you have reasons to suspect the sugardaddy's money comes from fraudulent sources, or if his goals are dubious. Like in the case of a certain russian millionaire; so yes, Chelski does to some extent cheat on the other clubs. Which, to come back to our initial debate, is also true of Milan of 80 - 90 and afterwards, since I personally have strong doubts about Berlusconi and the way he made his money. BTW, this is also one of the main reasons I don't like Milan at all, I can't think of a more despicable public figure in western Europe (at least of comparable importance). Finally, IMHO it's no big deal even if the city of Madrid or the state of Great Britain (as a hypothetical example) bails you out. It's like having a sugardaddy, except that it's the city / state. There is a caveat here though, if they are doing it against the wish of their constituents then it's cheating. But I doubt that is usually the case, I assume most people of Madrid agreed with their mayors or whoever bailed Real out (if that's indeed what happened, I don't know the specifics), and if the UK ever bailed ManU or another big club out, it would likely be in accordance with public feeling about it else they wouldn't do it. Anyway, to simply equate debt with cheating, as many people here or elsewhere do, is pure feudalism as I said. Which is not to say I like team who buy success, especially if their spending far outweigh their competitors; like Burlesco's Milan and Real of all times I guess. But I won't go as far as equating debt with fraud in the general case.

Some Greeks posted ~15k. I remember you making these remarks after Euro 2004. I'm not sure but I don't dismiss your cliams out of hand, I thought the Korean were doped up in 2006 given their insane workrate and given the number of high profile Dutch players that failed drug tests e.g. Davids, Stam, Frank de Boer. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

And going back from that > out of necessity - nah, that is not admirable. We didn't establish anything of the sort. I'd like to hear how you think Milan's World record signing of Lentini in 1992 was responsible for Barca paying big money for Romario in 1993 or for the �6 million PSV paid for Ronaldo in 1996. Transfer fees skyrocketed in the 1980s due to the lifting of the foreign player ban in Serie A in the 1980s and also because of the explosion of SATELLITE TELEVISION in the 1990s. As the richest and most successful club of course Milan were in a position to spend more than other clubs. Blaming Milan is as ridiculous as blaming Forest for breaking the million pound barrier in 1979 or Maradona for setting consecutive records in 1982 when he joined Barca for �3 million and Napoli 2 years later for �5 million. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml
