All the big clubs have had great financial backing in recent history, the only difference between them and Chelski is that they had it over a 2 or 3 year period. Seriously, some clubs in the Prem still have record signings of around £5 mil - to think that they could play on a level playing ground with any of the top clubs is laughable. And yet they can still beat them - what a glorious game
To be honest it's more fun to talk about the clubs that tried to compete financially with the big boys but never made it: Just how much money did Leeds and Newcastle spend to achieve nadda?
@merc, those links only include Chelsea when you're in the top flight, and in ZERO was your ground filled consistently, just like now yeah?
Most clubs don't have a history to match Liverpool etc, that's again where you don't understand. My origional point was that Chelsea in 20 years, when they've dominated and won everything wont be considered CLOSE to Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, becouse ALL of their achievements were after a billionaire bought them and bankrolled them to success.
Understand now? I have no idea wtf you think I mean. Your lack of reading comprehension is the only shameful thing around here.
Couldn't agree more with Pain i'm afraid. Always hated Chelsea above everyone but Leeds. Abramovich just gives me more reason.
