Tombwfc Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 United won't sell their best players to City. It won't happen. And thats not even mentioning the fact that there isn't a chance he'd go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter58 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Every footballer has his price.I can't see United not accepting ?135 million for Ronaldo.More difficult would be persuading him to sign. It's sad that football has got like this.Rich men just coming along and buying trophies and buying 4th Division clubs a place in the Premier League It's time to stop it. Hasn't it always been the case? Bob Lord's money made Burnley a force in the old First Division in the 1970's. The stakes are just higher now that's all.

nwhiteley Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) I'm sure that if Ronaldo was offered an insane pay rise to say ?1mil per month tax paid, he'd be off to City in a shot. Edited September 2, 2008 by nwhiteley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't know the Bob Lord story but Burnley didn't win anything in the 1970s.Their last trophy was the league title in 1960 when there was a maximum wage to even things up In the 70s medium sized clubs like Derby,Nottm Forest,Southampton and Ipswich won major trophies but did it with good managers and luck rather than the richest man in football buying up the most expensive players available. Blackburn,Chelsea and now City will show that you don't need a good manager to beat United and Liverpool but you need a wadded owner.This is a sport and it can't be right. Easy to sort if people in the game want to sort it.Automatic relegation for teams who spend over a certain % of their turnover etc. But then, eventually, you'll end up with 'the draft' where the best players are moved on each year, cant quite decide which would be worse!

I would argue that those are the exceptions rather than the rule. From the late Seventies onwards, the league has been dominated by Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. Chelsea are relatively new challengers. If anything, we may now have a more competitive league than we had before, it's just that teams outside the 'elite' group are just going to fall further and further behind without serious investment. Have you ever considered cashing in your programme collection and bank-rolling the club George? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrandt Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Maybe this Citeh takeover, with ridiculous bids for the world's top players, is just the farcical kickup the a*se that top-level football needs to bring it to its senses. Probably a forlorn hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted September 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2008 best thing is that we'll hopefully see liverpool implode not sure how the salary cap can work surely mufcplc buy a football boot manufacturer and pay ronaldo 3 milliona year to wear their boots? why can't that happen?
