DISQUS

Seems to me that the bad feeling that has come about is due to an immediate need to throw horrendous amounts of money around. What was seen with Portsmouth and Wigan was a gradual evolution, whilst money has been spent it is nothing like spending 32,000,000 on one player. When this sort of money is invested in one club it is always going to turn them into the team to hate, just ask Chelsea. What bothers me more than anything is the rich get richer whilst the lower league clubs scratch around trying to survive. What would be of more use to the English game would be for someone to invest properly in a scheme to bring young english players through rather than spending more than 32,000,000 on one player who may or may not make the grade in English football. There is no doubt of his talent but many players just don't adapt to English football. It's not Man City that people hate it's watching the rest of English football die.

Good on them, i'm not even remotely a united fan, in fact there a team i love to hate. That said it's time that players learnt to respect their contracts, Ronaldo's contract would not have been nearly so lucrative had he signed for 1 year. Sepp Blatters comments as to slavery were so out of touch it was ridiculous. We're all slaves to our jobs but i'd sure as hell rather be a multi millionaire slave than a 2ok a year one. Lets hope the Glazers have set a precedent that other clubs will follow. Transfer dealings should be kept under a veil of secrecy, if a bid is made the player only needs to know about it if his club accepts it. Clubs should be heavily punished for any leaks to the press, if it can't be decided where the leak came from punish both clubs. We the fans have had enough of the players and the press calling the shots.
