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.

Is it really all that hard to understand? The majority of United’s first time at the moment were bought, no question about that but the money used was earned by the success of yesteryear’s teams! We dominated the 90s, this was due to an unbeatable youth policy and players bought at going rates and not (then) hyper-millions, which the few exceptions of Cole and Pallister.
Chelsea's current success is soley down to the Russian appearing from nowhere. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just as long as the fact is acknowledged.
