Exactly. I said the same in a thread recently about 'top' players and how it would be nice if they made a real difference to a side that doesn't normally challenge rather than go somewhere where success is almost guaranteed.

I dunno, Van Gaal has had plenty of cash to splurge
He has but I was thinking that he may have left the coffers depleted.
He's going to City and the deal has been done for a long time. All the talk about him preferring Utd is just the typical bollocks that Utd's pr machine pump out in a constant and never ending stream of bullshit. "biggest club in the world" "650 Million fans" it's all nonsense.
Aside from the obvious connections with Txiki and Soriano, and Pellegrini saying he would like Pep to manage City in the future, the biggest clue was City buying Girona FC's main transfer targets and immediately loaning them to Girona before they had even trained with us. I don't think they've ever actually set foot in Manchester.
Girona are owned/part owned by Pere Guardiola, Pep's brother. Pep is coming to Manchester.

Still always surprised by the washington redskins. Didn't know the DC draw was worth that much
No chance of that, United blow everyone out the water money wise. City have unreliably rich owners but they're all trying to build to get were United already are.
There kit deal alone, not including training kit or merchandise is absurd. The biggest kit deal in football history, a deal adidas must be losing on but want to be associated with United so are prepared to do so. They get more to wear an adidas kit per season than our whole turnover as far as I am aware.

City, three year deal worth €25m a season.

Don't agree with this really. If they've proven they're at the top level why would they choose to take a step down and turn down the chance to maximise their talent and work alongside people less talented than them?
I'd like nothing less. Despise Arsenal. And Spurs. And City. And everyone else while I'm at it.
Bah humbug.
Welcome to Everton Pep.

Girona?
He's gone from Barca to Bayern then logically would go to Man Utd...
However if he goes to City it will be interesting to see if he builds something as a legacy or just buys the league
These supposed top managers now arent building anything in the way that Ferguson did.
Look at Martinez, building a legacy with us...
Thats how you quantify success... @davek

That's the plan mate. As Roberto stated in his last press conference before Christmas: chopping and changing at the top is part of the English football culture now, but it's no basis for creating a quality team. Quite correct. Never has been and never will be.
Opinion, or have you heard something?
