I think it is time for a new proper football thread on here. If a moderator wants to then the posts in the Manchester City thread can be moved here.
Man United's need to spend is shown with these numbers:
Since City's arab money they spend :
08/09 157,35 Mill €
09/10 147,30 Mill €
10/11 182,45 Mill €
11/12 87,05 Mill €
12/13 61,95 Mill €
13/14 116,00 Mill €
14/15 88,30 Mill €
15/16 212,90 Mill €
16/17 213,00 Mill €
17/18 249,30 Mill €
Meanwhile United spend :
08/09 45,25 Mill €
09/10 27,40 Mill €
10/11 29,30 Mill €
11/12 62,30 Mill €
12/13 76,45 Mill €
13/14 77,13 Mill €
14/15 195,35 Mill €
15/16 156,00 Mill €
16/17 185,00 Mill €
17/18 164,40 Mill €
Mourinho was right in his last press conference about the need to spend more but honestly a host of clubs need new owners.
I loved the fact that Jamie Carragher apparently summed it all up tonight by saying that the Premier League has become a joke cause there are far too many sides who never try to win a game. Long gone are the days when the smaller sides put up a fight on a regular basis.
The football is now starting to look like handball with one side parking the bus and the other side passing the ball around until they score. For me who has followed the football online for 6 seasons now the number of links to follow games has gone down for each season that passes.
I wonder like Jamie how long people will follow the english game if this trend continues and it's not about City running away with it this season or Chelsea the previous season. The leaders are gone and the import of players have totally ruined the culture and understanding of a league that made everyone sit on the edge of their seats.
This season I opted to watch less games than ever before and it really is hard to force yourself to watch a game like Burnley-Swansea or games where one side is content to only lose by a goal or two and ends the game having not had a single shot at goal.
