If a team is not known for success then gets hundreds of millions (or even billions) pumped in to it from a new owner and suddenly they're a top 4 team or start winning cups/titles, that's what I consider "buying the league".
Man utd in massive debt...yes...they are how a club should be

Amusing as ever...thank you
