Its bullsh1t
Manchester Utd have always been the most richest club in the prem/world uptill a few years ago - just because other clubs now have the same/more money as them there moaning about it.
I think its great to see teams saying there gunna try and sign Man Utd players, Utd have done that for years

Yes but Manchester United's success and wealth was built on winning trophies year after year. They used that to their advantage and built the worldwide brand that now exists. It's completely different to some bloke who has no connection to football whatsoever throwing money at a club,

A-greed! They used success on the pitch and commercial savvy to build up their financial base, in the same way Arsenal have used shrewd investment, a new stadium and a policy of nuirturing talkent to build their financial base... Chelski on the other hand were hours from going under and saved by a billionaire and Man City have simply been bought by a billionaire

That apart I still like a multi billionaire to buy my club. I do think a director of football though should have some experience. i.e. if it was Bobby Robson not fucking Dennis wise so agree with their comments on why the managers left.

TBH I dont have a problem with all these billionaires buying clubs. Yeah it makes things harder, but Id rather be watching us play decent sides more often than playing shite and winning things.

Dont talk shite, previously it was the top 4, now with more and more money coming in it could be the top 6, 7 or 8. double the amount of top quality teams is surely much better for English football.

If they had english players yeah it would be.
Although like I said I have no problem with it the only people who complain are the ones without billionaire owners.

Well having English players goes well beyond the clubs owners, it comes down to the FA and grassroots football.
If the English quality was there then the teams would have more English players in them.

I'm more than happy with our current owners. Luton fans with Luton at heart. Not like these billionaires who see clubs as toys, and will jump ship as soon as it gets boring.
We aren't going down either. Current form see's us staying up.
