That doesnt mean anything. Just because you invest a lot doesnt automatically give you success. I like this picture:

Indeed. Anyone who starts injecting lots of money into a club (and does it the right way) is bound to have some kind of success after a certain amount of time. It's just common sense. If you bring in the right players, employ the right manager and go about things in the correct way, then success is bound to follow.. However, it doesn't mean that's a very honourable way.

I don't like the way football is going if this is the way forward.. People complain often that transfer prices and club wages are far far too high, but then the same people say this is a good thing!? Hypocrites is what I call them. This only encourages wages and transfer prices to be even higher, as a certain amount of clubs will be able to pay whatever the damn players/clubs want.. Some of them are far too greedy.

I am sorry I dont agree, Its good for the game. Clubs make a lot of money and so what if a big club comes in and buys a player for a lot of money, its a business after all.

PastyHusty

Seriously..!? It's good for the game? I couldn't disagree more.

I'm sure if you told that to 90% of football clubs in the world, you'd have a lot of angry people shouting right back at you. More and more money is NOT good for Football as a whole. How can more and more money at the top, leading to less and less at the bottom, be good? The same teams will keep winning - something which may dwindle down to even less teams than now! The smaller clubs will suffer finanically more and more, quite a few may even go out of existance due to this.. Football could become less and less interesting if this situation is allowed to continue due to these reasons.. but then I'm sure that's fine for the clubs who win all the time.

Transfer fees and wages need a cap .. need a limit. If more billionaires come and take over Football clubs, then they'll be able to do whatever they please with their money. How long until a player is bought for 100 million euros? .. how long until a player is earning more than 250000 pounds per month? It's pathetic. They don't care.. they just want success and will do whatever it takes to get it, regardless of how this effects other teams and football as a whole!

This just proves that the same teams arent winning, when has CKSA won something good. Its great to see that happen.

PastyHusty

Yes, but if CSKA (and the other teams with very rich owners) become dominant, then it won't be good for Football. Regardless of this, there's still a big issue surrounding the crazy amounts of money thrown around in Football today..

It's ironic you come up with that. Last week I read in a newspaper (don't know if it was a Belgian or English one) that Abrahamovic has set his goal on Adriano. And he's indeed willing to pay €100 million.

ForeverInLoveWithJus

Peter Kenyon said that Chelsea would have no problem paying 1 Million Pounds if the right player came along, I would love to see Adriano in the Premiership

PastyHusty

..and no other club would be able to compete with that kind of money. I hope Adriano turns Chelsea down.

DrTagnian

I don't! Adriano is a player who's amazing in a competition like the Serie A, but not in England. Take Hernan Crespo for example ... he belongs in Italy.
