Did we go on to almost dominate the league as soon as they came in? As you'll be aware - no we didn't. It took years of hard graft, not a sugar daddy's billions.

The majority of your current team has been bought in. Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Nani, Ronaldo, VDS, Tevez, Carrick and definately not bought up through the ranks.
Looking at the latest revenue figures I see that Man Utd are not that far ahead of Chelsea in terms of revenue generated, a significant difference is you have a bigger overdraft, whislt Roman writes off ours. So in effect you are financing current transfers with the banks money, not your own, and hoping that future success pays itself off. Roman is using his own money to build future success, and he got immediate success as a bonus. the Glaziers are using bank overdrafts in the same way. Your spending is not limited to your revenue.
