The players Manchester United have won titles with are home grown players such as Giggs, Beckham, Brown, Scholes, Gary and Phil Neville, so really having no money may help Ferguson bring up younger players which has worked in the past, something that Chelsea havent and probably wont do.

After the takeover by Glazer, I would guess money is not quite readily available as it was prior to the takeover, having said that, the Glazer's will need to speculate to accumulate and not just rely on the public to raise revenue, after all, success breeds success.
We might just see the next "class of 92" come through this season, with the likes of Ewbanks Blake, Rossi, Eagles, Timm, Richardson. If this does not work out, the Glazer's might then have to dig deep to compete with the likes of Chelsea.
Arsenal have done very well with their prudent sales & purchase technique over the last two season's, but I think it will all fall flat as time moves on.
This coming season's front runner's will be, 1. Chelsea. 2. Man Utd. 3. Arsenal. 4. Liverpool. 5. Newcastle, but not necessarilly in that order
