Liverpool are also well above United with 0 titles. United, 5th highest spenders, and the only club whose money has come from success on the field, have 11 titles to their name. HTH

Facts only though, okay? Try to keep the lies and bullshit to a minimum.

Right. So you just want to take a period where Chelsea have already spent well over half a billion quid and pat yourself on the back because they haven't spent any more. Well done. PMSL Feel free to post any figures that show Chelsea aren't 'by far' the highest spenders in the Premiership era and only have one more title than Blackburn.

Le Dieu, your replys are always mixed in to the original posts with no markings. Anyway, as the link was posted, I was able to test out my hunch. Let's see the figures since 2007 season: Carrick 18.6 M pounds Tevez 10M Nani 13.5M Anderson 15M Hargreaves 17M Berbatov 30M Valencia 16M Silva Twins 5M Tosic 5M Cole 5M Boulahrouz 7M Malouda 13.5M Anelka 15M Ivanovic 9M Bosingwa 16.2M Deco 8M Chelsea have spent about 75 million pounds over your most recent championship streak. United have spent roughly 120 million pounds over the same period. So I wouldn't exactly say United have an unfair disadvantage, or that they didnt' spend either. But again, there's nothing "wrong" with spending....and City and Chelsea have a right to spend to, there's no divine right for ONLY the Mancs to spend money. .. |
