What an bleak and jaded outlook Red. It's our history and fans that makes us a great club. Not what have you done lately. Man c needed to boost for the club, fans and city and it's done them well, fine. Will it last? Who knows. Will they continue to blow through money, doubtful, but if so, so what. Ask Real Madrid and other money flush clubs if it is a guarentee of success. The fans of those clubs start fires in the streets if the club does not spend a billion a year in talent, then get to burning again once the disappointing season has ended. We are not them. In my opinion, Real Madrid is where great players go to retire and cash out...then they go to the US to try to continue the dream knowing they're past their prime.
