we are so big for exactly the opposite reason ie we win all the time and have an aggressive global marketing strategy i'm not sure that your argument about stoke and bolton being entitled to the same money stands up either. It is very difficultr to argue anything other than those clubs benefiting from the complete removal of market forces in the deal it isn't a flat playing field for all and it never can be. whats the next argument? we haven to reduce our capacity so that gate receipts are fairer. we have to standardise our shirt sponsorship? |

Do you think a league dominated utterly by one club would be very interesting? For anybody? Do you think the TV companies would still pay big money for a one team league? |

it's the same with this top four shite there's a top one then the rest....at a push a top three although given that Chelsea are so far behing United in terms of titles won in that period even that is pushing it United should have negotiated their own TV deal in the 90s ...£#%&! the rest of them |

the dividing off of tv revenue would now be disastrous admittedly but that would be because so many clubs have become dependent on what is intrinsically an unfair system |

United's domination has had little to do with money, we've not had any for five years for a start but the day the Divs win the league or Chelski make it 3.4.5 in a row will be down to one thing....money |

plus the competition itself is run as a business, as is the sports governing body the biggest problems in football in terms of finance are from clubs being run wholly irresponsibly as businesses |

we did win a lot due to our financial clout but this was based upon success and a business strategy to market that success and capitalise on it ie we earned our right to do so both on and off the pitch rather than having bought for us or borrowing it or existing beyond our means |

it was only when the PLC finally let Fergie spend big we were competing for the very top players, but then again how many of them did we miss out..on, thank £#%&! we broke the bank for Rooney... forget post 2005 it's a holocaust...apart from Berbatov when it comes to our transfer activity at the very top end of the market Chelsea have bought success with Abramovich's money in the same way Blackburn bought the league....and even the Dippers and Totttenham's transfer net spend will easily top United's in the last 10 years |

Re: Barcelona - more than just a club... a model blah blah blah
Just imagine if they didn't get individual tv deals in Spain, then Barca would be truly getting punished for their irresponsible spending. See they threw out Chygrynsky for 12m when he was bought for 25m a year ago.
Zlatan very likely to piss off too, and he came for 52m euros AND Samuel Eto'o(confirmed figure). Madrid splashed 60m on Kaka who has failed hard, 35m on Benzema without giving him a chance, Fergie's got a point about value tbh. |

We should've thrown £30m and £160k a week at David Silva or £30m and £200k a week at Yaya Toure or maybe £30+m and £100+k a week at Di Maria. All good value and about 'the going rate'. It's the only way to improve the squad. |

Barcelona transfers since 2003 show a net expenditure of almost 300 million euros and all we hear about is their wonderful youth system.

There is value out there, it's stupid to compare it to City's ridiculous way of going about it. United are in need of investment in the squad, we sold the best player in the world for a world record £80m after winning the league 3 years on the trott and getting to 2 CL finals back to back, winning 1 of them, we should have been in the strongest position we could possibly be in to strengthen the team, but didn't. If the Glazers were not here and we sold Ronaldo for £80m do you think we'd have signed Michael Owen? |
