@Dynastian Yeah the teams with money have the good and expensive players but thats the point! Thats why it ruins football and takes away club identity. The club identity is not based on success its based on the managers, homegrown talent, club philosophy and supporters. AC Milan hasn't lost its identity one bit, what the hell are you talking about? No Real Madrid hasn't regained its identity as that was all lost when the money came not regained the identity was there when they produced their owned talent and had owners who were lifetime supporters of the club. Tough RMD has never had a great passionate support (Most passionate madrid football fans support Atletico/Rayo/Getafe as they are the working class areas, RMD is traditionally an upper/middle class club) it was much better than it is today.
Yeah, you can buy a world class player for thirty million pounds, whats the relevance? Getting good players doesn't mean its constructive its the opposite. Fans get driven out, atmospheres dimmer and its loses its identity. Those three things are the things that should never happen at football the quality of the players at your club isn't an issue.
Do you think fans of League 2 sides or National Conference league in England cares about football players being good? Of course not, and they are the ones being vocal because they support their club and their area not the players, hence why a Portsmouth game has a better atmosphere than Real Madrid although it plays in League 2 and hasn't a big fan base outside of the Portsmouth area.
Take a look at Athletic Bilbao, they only recruit basque players and produce masses of local talent this is one of the reasons they are probably the club with most of its identity remaining after foreign investments started coming into european football, their fans are from the local area and mostly all basque and creates and electric atmosphere and passion. Not for football, not for the players but for Bilbao as a city and the Basque Country as a whole. Thats identity not buying Figo, Beckham ,Ronaldo and stars like Real did.
