yep, made me chortle. You dont have to have shed loads of money to play some good football nor to reach midtable in the prem (as a baggies fan this is good to know

), but you DO need shed loads of money to be in the top 3. Manure, Shrek and all their "plastic" fans have been lauding it for so long that -despite the undoubted excellence of the team at times-many "neutrals" dislike them. Lets face it, Man Utd's success has been based on money and its that money thats been able to buy them the players theyve had. Not taking anything away from either players or manager but its sadly now so much about money that English football will never again be even approaching anything like a "level playing field". Like our country itself its the have and have nots. And now a club with even deeper financial pockets has come along with a manager who has has had the ability to at last mould his merry band of very gifted mercienaries into a team and personally I dont think the likes of Man Utd or Chelsea can compete. Sky Sport and the greed of agents have a lot to answer for!
