The Spanish 'model' appears to have been; spend vast amounts of cash that you haven't got, fail to make the repayments, cry to local council to save the areas local side, council use borrowed cash to bail out said club by say buying the training ground for £200M . However, the councils pots are now empty, so they're royally ****ed.
The Real model you mean, Franco's play toy Royal Madrid, you'll have to look hard to find another Spanish club supported out of government coffers like Madrid were. Sure their first 5 EC wins mean nothing, absolutely nothing. Crooked rotten club.
Sorry BBF, it's very far from being limited to Real. All of the other major sides are locked-in/linked to public local/regional finance or financial assistance. Just watch the fire-sale this Summer from all of the Latin clubs.
Not limiting it to Real, just saying they are far beyond what other clubs had access to. And it's also true they had the EC and league boxed off before a ball was kicked. He even fixed the eurovision ffs remember LA la la
Ferdie has 0 class, clapping in the refs face, did city do that when Kompany got sent off for making no contact with Kagawa. Did Shelvey do that to Halsey? would he face action if he did? No Webb for United in this one karma indeed. the Shelvey sending off comes to mind also. Did United moan about that. Don't get me wrong, the red was harsh but how many harsh decisions are given in their favour every season and the opposition do not behave as they have done. They should not have even got 5 mins extra time as most of it was for them surrounding the ref. At least they know how the rest of us feel now!!!
Is it now our opportunity to say conspiracy theories? They have no right complaining a ref done them, it happens not very often. Nani should not be jumping into the air and kicking players imo anyways, not looking is no excuse, and Real were denied 100% a good goal also
Rio clapped in refs face but he also went back and shook his hand. I can't condemn a player for showing passion/hurt!
We Win It Five Times In Istanbul We won it 5 times Manc fans sing " Murderers" AGAIN at to nights game, Manc fans go out I would suggest thats .....................Karma Looking forward to Fergie Interview
Keane, "Ref made right call" It was dangerous, he could have really injured Arbeloa, straight leg studs out. Red card all day Intentions dont mean ****
