As a Chelsea fan I don?t entirely disagree, but would say that money is useless without good management. However, since the formation of the PL money has become essential to success. Only Arsenal have bucked the trend here and it?s not like they are paupers who never spend a penny or two on a player (TH 12m, Reyes 10m, Adebeyor 7m, Walcott 12m etc). Those who have money can buy success and continued entry into the CL which only perpetuates the situation.
im not knocking it im just jealous.
