Because they focus solely on marketing and they get better TV deals....let's just compare recent commercial revenue of Real with Bayern or United....you can see there isn't much difference...and winning has no impact on TV or Matchday revenue and only performance in UEFA competetion has impact...

He could be false 9 :pep:

or It shows how he's come from bottom and gone on to become one of the best managers in the world...even Gary Neville is carrying Kits for England players....

We should've gone for him instead of Fellaini.....This is what pissed off most United fans..Cesc was never a realistic option....

Exactly...Their revenue was going up at incredible rate even before that crazy transfer spree....and another thing to note is United's revenue is going up at similar rate even without Ronaldo and with less revenue from UEFA competitions.....

Yup players also earn money by playing well and improving the brand of the club.....but clubs like Real,Barca and United are so popular that addition of individual player doesn't make significant difference to the revenue....for example Real were already earning highest revenue before signing...

and there is no guarantee that those shirts wouldn't have sold if Kaka wasn't signed....maybe people who bought kaka shirt would've bought Ronaldo shirt....Let's see how much increase there is in Barca's commercial revenue after signing of Neymar.......I think most fans will buy the shirt of the...

I think it's the case of top sides in Europe getting stronger not English teams getting weaker.... 5 years back we defeated AC Milan 7-2 on aggregate and almost beat Bayern after outplaying them at old trafford with team that was weaker than our current team....we had Gibson starting matches for...

He lost just £6m on woodgate's fee...and value of having kaka is diminished once you have Ronaldo....so I don't think kaka made too much money for them

The results would suggest that the teams haven't improved but on paper Chelsea,City,Tottenham and Arsenal have all improved...both Chelsea and City have better managers now and City have player like Navas who is massive improvement on Milner/Nasri...plus Negredo,Fernandhino,Jovetic are all top...

Top teams are better than they were last season...only team that is poor compared to last season is United..and I'm sure Southampton will finish in top 10 because they already had a decent team last season and now they have added to that team. Osvaldo is getting picked for Italy and scoring...

They were under Avram Grant then.....People considered having Sam Allardyce as manager as a guarantee of beating the drop......now those long ball tactics will not work against teams like Southhampton and Swansea who were not in the league back then....and teams that you call poor have players...

and he's already played for 10 out of 92 professional clubs in England....would be a truly amazing story if he goes on to become a top player....I think he will be better than Walcott but will not reach the level of Bale....

Yup now he'll be the next Gareth Bale...

I was talking about the ability of the teams to get results against top sides....In any other season West Ham and Stoke would've been considered as solid defensive sides who will definitely beat the drop but now they are considered poor...this shows how the rest of the teams have improved...

Messi's will win simply because of their dribbling.. One Messi can get past 3 Ronaldo's and pass the ball to another Messing who would do the same..

His original contract was due to run out in 2016 so the extension would take his contract to 2018.....That doesn't sound like short term to me.

Would his quotes have received so much attention if it wasn't followed immediately by smoking incident?

Arteta was not eligible because he played for Spain at a FIFA competetion at youth level.....If you play for one country at youth level you can only switch if you hold the passport of country you wish to switch to at the time you played those matches.I think main reason Janujaz will be eligible...
