"Money can't buy me love"
I suppose in the long term, possibly, it is good for the club but the problem is regardless of the money we may or may not have to spend the pool of outstanding available players is small. All the talent has been snapped up and if it isn't playing for the "big" teams it's sitting on the bench.
Of course investment in the "youth" system is always an option but the pay backs are too long in coming and generally big business, which is what we are part of let's face it, doesn't tolerate anything other than a prompt return on investment.
Personally after all the political horse crap that has been injected into the game, the show business image, all the diving and overreaction to everything, the attempts to have thick overpaid barely literate players rammed down out throats as social warriors of one sort or another I've just about had it with the pro game. This season may do it.
