I have been a ManU and Real Madrid fan for the past 10 years. I can supports teams can I not?

We're not saying you can't. Just that it's not good for the game when people like you do.

It's just that when teams like Real and ManU get all this money that glory supporters bring they can outspend any club. This leads to things like Ronaldihnio, Beckham and Pirlo sharing a bench because the team is too good and they're not needed, wasting talent. It also means teams can just out-muscle other teams and dominate leagues (Bayern). This is instant success without having to go through the effort of scouting and building a team like others do. It usually also ends in teams having small amounts of players that were born in the host country of the club. It also means that other teams that  have ambition have to have foreign owners come in and inject large amounts of money into them as there is no real way of doing it through hard work alone.

The Indian national football team is in really good shape to take the Barclay's premier league title! Watch out for them! Osvaldo will score!

Osvaldo that plays for Inter Milan will score for his team that is owned by an Indonesian to win the BPL 

Also more polls!

Well there is a difference between teams who built their wealth on success over the last 60 years and those who just came with a wad of cash and arab investors. Talking about teams like PSG, Man City, Monaco, Chelski, Anzhi, Zenit etc.

Implying Manchester United don't have filthy rich owners.

Implying Manchester United don't have filthy rich owners.

Well they're in huge debt.

What i am saying is that clubs that are financially strong by building on success (Man U, Real, Barca, Bayern, Juve, ACM, Arsenal etc.) get alot of their income based on revenue from fans, merchandise, sponsorship etc. These teams are rich because they made their names on success, they didn't just come out of nowhere and suddenly start competing in the champions league if you know what i mean.

But yeah, the Glazers are rich as fuck, yet the entire club is in debt, kind of like Real. Bayern probably have the most succesful system by operating like your average company with stocks and without the ability to buy a majority stake.

So how 'bout the Bale/ DiMaria situation? I honestly think ManU would be stupid to give DiMaria back. Bale is overrated and this would be the tip of the iceberg of the bad decisions Van Gaal has made as manager of ManU this season.
