    You make some great points - which I'll happily acknowledge - but there are also some important omissions ... Sir Alex was almost certainly given the biggest budget in the League to both end United's title drought and to maintain their position once he had achieved that ... similarly in the 1980s Liverpool had the spending power to snap up the best domestic talent seemingly at will... Dalgleish, Barnes, Beardsley, Lawrensen, Houghton, Aldridge ... this wasn't organic growth by any stretch of the imagination ... when you boil it down - not that dissimilar to what Citeh have done since being taken over by the Saudis or what Chelsea did before them under Abramovic ...

    I am up in Wyoming now at Grand Teton national park. Long ass driving day today in the rain through Idaho which was mainly agricultural fields and ranches.

    Saw a couple of cool things early this morning in Utah though. This place is called the Golden Spike and was where the union pacific railroad met the railroad coming from the east

    apparently, as the story goes, when they were building the railroad, the workers were paid per yard of track they put down, but nowhere in their contracts did it stipulate that they had to meet in the middle, so they just carried on past each other lol.

    The govt then stepped in and said the railroad had to meet in the middle and it is at this place in Utah where they hammered in a golden spike where the two railroads met.

    Easily outrun a human one of them, so I guess you moved far enough away from his territory to let you off lol

    When we signed Dalglish we were reining League Champions , European champions and FA cup runners up which weirdly does help generate revenue you know

    oh and we paid £440k for him having sold Keegan for £500k <laugh>

    But did you make up corner flag sponsors, just like City?

    The way certain things are airbrushed out of what they have done so they appear 'just the same' as clubs who have self generated funds over long periods before them is all a bit odd.

    It's not the same, at all.

    In your head possibly ... for everybody else non-pool and United, point proven - spending the most gives you a distinct advantage... did in the 80s ..did in the 90s ... and still does now ... self evident ... how else have Chelsea and Citeh come to have dominated the last decade? .... youth development? ... <laugh><laugh><laugh>
