Do you not take into account that, early last century, United were saved from bankruptcy. The same man bought the land in Trafford, built them a stadium and then bought a new squad. At teh time, he was the equivalent of a billionaire. How long after the takeover, do we ignore the trophies United won, on the basis they were purchased?
No, he won't take that into account, just like he ignores the fact that the scousers were owned by the Littlewoods pools billionaire when they started to dominate English and European football.
Just like he doesn't take into account that massive wealth that has backed Arsenal throughout their history.
The reason that he doesn't want to account for these is because he's an ignorant fool.
Personally, I think he does have an issue of clubs buying success. Because the club he latched on to, in a failed glory hunt, happened to buy their way into the Championship when they were trying to buy their place in the Champions League.
