dude, they both have to be 'no', or they both have to be 'yes' ... otherwise, hypocrisy reigns ...
look, I'd rather not see the transfer market 'broken' by crazy deals ... but even if we look at fiscal responsibility, instant dividends is a cornerstone of investing ... bankrolling youth production is one thing, rapidly building a global brand is another ... in order to break the stranglehold of the traditional powerhouses, without fluking upon and, more importantly, retaining a generation of supremely gifted youth products, a club has to go the moneybags route ...

I have conflicting opinions, one is emotional, one is logical. As a robot, you don't understand this. The way Chelsea spent was very fun for me, and was essential for our success, but it was bad for the long-term of the sport, and I can appreciate that and would therefor not support Chelsea doing it again.
I actually like when some minnow surfaces with a fat cat that wants to buy the world. It makes the team and that league more exciting. Sure, after a while it gets annoying because it seems in only a few years they get to a level that other teams takes decades, but the football world isn't fair anyway. So it's hard to fault them for doing so.
Even then, there aren't nearly enough owners willing to splash cash at players to get them to rise at a higher level, so in a way there's a level of balance still.
Hate to sound Americanized, but the only way to fix that problem would be to have some sort of ceiling and salary cap, but that just wouldn't work in reality.

Az doesn't deny his hypocricy. If you could steal $4 billion dollars from the government and people of Zambia without getting caught, you would do it, but you don't think it's a good thing for someone to do.
And the salary cap can't work in soccer because of the cross border stuff. If one league instituted a salary cap, players would migrate to leagues where they could get paid better. You could try to have FIFA do it, but it's hard to imagine how this would be legal; in the NFL and NBA the players associations accepted a salary cap as part of the collective bargaining process, it wasn't just implemented.

In a way the sugar daddy clubs aren't bad for the sport. Rich investors put money into the sport , giving large sums to other clubs for their players, and then the receiving clubs can reinvest that into the club and youth development. If a rich businessman believes a soccer club is a good investment, the money brought in is good for the sport.
And who is to say man city (for example) is bad for league enjoyment. It pisses off the other rival clubs because of threat but theoretically it adds another strong club to the mix for stronger competition.

You're assuming there is a bottomless well of top flight talent out there. If 2 or 3 full teams worth of top flight talent gets concentrated on one team it dilutes the rest of the league.

It took three tries by el Pipita, but at least he finished it. Glad to see him up front
