Money Doesn't Always Talk - Ha!

In an unprecedented attempt to buy their way back to the top of club football in Europe by winning the Champion’s League, last summer Real Madrid spent $340 million in transfer fees for new star players. The result:

This week they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Lyon. Ha! Couldn’t even buy themselves into the quarterfinals.

In England, last year Manchester City was taken over by a group from Abu Dhabi. They too spent an obscene amount of money, well over $150 million, to buy their way to the top of the English Premier League. With 11 games left to play they are in 5^th place. When the season is over they may or may not end up in the top four, but they won’t be close to the top teams. Ha!

How sweet it is.
