It's unfair like say the fact that some children are born filthy rich and others die of hunger in Africa. It's not right, but not cheating either. Life sucks, that's how it is and we have to live with it.

I don't care much about which of the two spent more. Ciao, SM -- http://www.gourockviews.co.uk I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting.

I'd say it's a no-brainer. Milan had a successful period in the late 80s-early 90s by spending big money on overseas players. Other teams copied that model in an attempt to emulate that success. As for blaming Maradona, I don't think anyone has (or did). Maradona was the most valuable commodity in world football in the early 80s, so it's no surprise that he went for the most money. > > --http://soccer-europe.com > Rss feed :http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

Life sucks, that's how it is and we have to live with it. Actually, that's not the best of examples, since children dying of hunger in Africa are a disgrace and at some point will have to cease to exist. A better one would be that there are and always will be (or at least in the foreseeable future) rich children and middle-class children. As I said, not right but that's how it is and we have to live with it.
