We've been over this countless times in the past - we moan because we don't have a sugar daddy to come along and buy us the league whilst we spent year in mediocrity. United have spent big over the years but this came from established and built-up success on the pitch and from commercial ventures - something which would not have worked had we not done well on the pitch. No-one is begrudging a team from spending millions from when their results have earned them that money.
Chelsea, and now Man City spent years doing not very much with a handful of decent players. Then a rich bloke comes along, gives the manager a virtual open chequebook and suddenly success appears.
I'm not too worried, Roman tired to buy dominance in the premiership and he hasn't achieved it. True his billions have made Chelsea one of the top teams but United are still the team to beat.
All we ask is these clubs with new-found success is that they acknowledge without their mega rich new chairman's billions they wouldn't have the success.
