Re: [Football]Well it's all over

Chelsea were buying from a position of weakness in the sense that their stature isn't that of Manchester United, everyone knows they are super rich so they were bound to overpay. Not to mention the fact that Chelsea had flair to a ridiculous level which Mourinho ain't interested in so they needed a new team. There's also issue with who is spending what. Even where they have overpaid, I'd say 7 of them (should be pretty obvious) have been worth the money.

Lets not forget that United have a crushing level of income compared to pretty much any club and if clubs were run like businesses they would outspend everyone. The fact is to contend for the title when you aren't a top english club you have to spend like mad to a ridiculous level, cos football at the top level in England is pretty much an oligarchy, where the elite teams have the top positions and the finances are rigged so they benefit more than everyone else. It's arguable that spending to this level is necessary. Blackburn did it when you required far less money, and I'd say every Blackburn fan would say it was worth every penny.
