Erm, not the same. Utd are well run with no external funding - most of our money comes from matchday revenue, CL revenue and sponsorship. From our success in other words. I agree that we are a juggernaut because we are a bigger club than Arsenal, but we are a bigger club because we have been more successful over the past twenty years - back at the start of the PL Arsenal were just as rich as Utd. Once again, a bollocks argument. You have the money to spend £20 million on players, you just choose not to. Or are you claiming spending £10 million on Koscielny, Mertesacker and Vermaelen was a better deal than spending £30 million on Rio and £6 million on Vidic? Shoe string budget? You are so deluded it's not true! So Lauren, Pires, Vieira, Henry, Edu, Wiltord, Reyes, Kanu, Van Bronckhorst and Jeffers were all free transfers? And Sol Campbell didn't break the British record wages for when he moved from Spurs? Your squad that season cost over £100 million, almost exactly the same as Utd's and a hell of a lot more than our Treble winners. Arsenal 03/04, two home grown players. Utd 98/99, seven home grown players. Fact is Wenger, like any other manager, was only successful when he spent, and even then only moderately so. As soon as he started trying to prove he could succeed without spending loads, he failed. Not as long as Wenger is in charge - no matter how much money you have he will still be shopping in the bargain basement out of choice. And you have just highlighted the biggest difference between SAF and Wenger - SAF is still competing despite our massive debts (our net profits are less than Arsenal) and low spending over the last four years, whilst Wenger simply can't compete.
I think that Berb being the biggest Manc contributer overall tells us how **** their board is, this thread is enough evidence of that. Berb, you think the sheer amount of your posts make up for the serious shortfall in quality, which they don't. Not about ABUs it is all about maoningmancs,why moan, the ref didn't screw you. 1 Penalty in how many years at OT, thats why ABUs exist btw
