The sad story about premier this year is Manchester United, how can be the richest club in the world such a bad team like this?
Club wealth has nothing to do with their current performance on the field of play, it's usually accumulated over a long period of time, this isn't the first time united would top that list, they are usually within the range of 1-3 since the time of Ferguson, and seeing them there should not surprise you, take a look at how much they spend on players, for sure they should be one of the richest, if not the richest.In addition, I think Ole gunner Solskjaer just saved his job with that away Victory against Norwich, anything but a win could have had the board thinking about replacing him, I just hope he can build on this victory and start picking up wins more often.
It kind of does though, at least in the long run. The Big Six all have the biggest net spending budgets, and the winner usually has the biggest spends. And we haven't seen the biggest 5 spenders ever being relegated, have we?
If United were to stop spending, they would probably fall down even farther.
The key is to spend wisely, consistently, and not splash out like United always try!
