Jimbo 172 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Clicky here Are these "Chelsea" style situtations going to be the ruin of football ? Will a gang of Russian millionaires turn Villa into a title winning club ? or will they still be a dull and unattractive club ? After all, Wigan allegedly had £20m to spend in the summer and look what difference that made ! bugger all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I think the Chelsea and Abramovic level is a one off, i hope it is. But there may be lesser scale takeoevers in future. The reason Chelsea are now looking invincible is because of the comination they have going. Not just unlimited money but one of the best managers to exploit that situation. With the money and alesser manager (as was shown) theres no guarentee of trophies, with the manager and less money he could still do it, but with both, they're going to make this prem pretty easy to predict. IMO they already have the title, Arse don't look as good, manu are getting injuries and don't look amazing, whilst Jose has his team just robotically moving through game after game looking unbeatable and yet to reach their top gear.

Rob W 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 sad to say £ 20 million is a drop in the ocean if you are trying to build a top PL team these days............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43847 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 On the radio on the way in to work, the talk was of a 75million pound transfer bounty. Thing is though we've spent 50 million and it's hardly turned us into Chelsea. Plus when people know you've got 75 million to spend, you get a lot less for your money.
