Back in 1960 the record in England for buying a player was £115,000 by the start of 1970 it was £200,000. By the start of 1980 Bryan Robson was bought for 1.5million. A random signing of Souness plucked out by me Liverpool signed him for £378,000 in 1978 where they spent 500,000 that transfer window just out of random. Where also the record was "broken" for highest signing by Man Utd where they bought McQueen for £495,000. So they weren't exactly being conservative! Also they were the first team to hand out £10,000 a week wages in 1992 when the average player wage was £1,700 a week! So whilst you can say Chelsea / City / PSG success now is due to rich owners, you can't say that the "old school" clubs didn't do it. Hell Arsenal were the first team in England to give someone £100,000 wages! (Sol Campbell) Source Source 1978 Wiki | ||

Reason why Liverpool was on top years back is because they did exactly what City Chelsea PSG are doing now and buying up all the talent lol.

People hate when average teams jump 30 years ahead just by splashing enough green in a couple of seasons. I mean, rm buys every damn best player there is every year, no one complains about them because they are real madrid. If say, getafe spends half a billion next couple seasons and reach the top people gonna hate them like chelsea/psg/mancity. | ||

They have the status already, so they throw money to keep being up there. People hate when average teams jump 30 years ahead just by splashing enough green in a couple of seasons.

It really made things interesting in England. What we need is probably MORE massive rich clubs not just a few. | ||

It points to bad business management on Forest's part that they ended up where they are now, after consecutive European cup wins. That should have ensured a massive footballing dynasty, but i guess prize + TV money wasn't as extreme in those days | ||

Leeds got to the semi finals of Champions League? Following season had to sell everyone of their players or something and now look at them. Mid tier championship level club. It is crazy. | ||

There were also huge financial problems for us in the 90s that led to the bad kind of takeover, and some disastrous managerial appointments after Clough. On the Forest forum i use you can't even type in David P****s name. That knobhead spent an absolute shitload of cash on a team that got relegated to the third tier. Hopefully Forest legend Stuart Pearce can get us back to where we belong. | ||
