Lookin' for a new Baby
New name pending...
They're doing what Chelsea did in the early noughties. Football has been ruined since then really.They're taking the fun out of the league for me. I like the analogy of how Pep is playing real life FM, it's hit the nail on the head. They've spent an atrocious amount of money over the past couple years and basically get whoever the f*ck they want as a result, and that takes the challenge of managing a team away. X isn't good enough? Let's bin him and buy superstar Y for upwards of 50mil! It's no surprise to see them blowing teams away, it'd be a travesty for them to do anything less. Everyone else is left to battle among themselves with teams that have actual challenges to overcome.
It isn't nice seeing how they have affected the transfer market either. How it affects Arsenal aside, this just isn't good for the sport, it feels icky and wrong. When I think about just how much money is being thrown around and what that means, I want to vomit.
