i think Glazer's hands are tied in a certain manner. The 150 m
warchest is staggering.
Don't forget, Man U's acquisition is financed by debt and Glazer
betted on the future earnings of Man U as a successful team. The
amt of cash available to SAF is very much smaller compared to the
150m that Benetiz reportedly gonna have. I think SAF is probably
gonna have 25 to 30m max.
But looking on the other side, Benetiz will sweat now because the
expectations will be very high on him. Likewise, the fringe players
in Liverpool will also sweat becos they will be on the way
out.
In my opinion, Chelsea's big spending days are over, its going to
be Liverpool next. It remains to be seen how Benetiz make use of
the money. It was rumored, Torres will be coming. Who's next?
Ronaldinho? With new US funds, Gerrard will stay for sure, cos
Liverpool can match any wage promise dangled by Madrid or even
Chelsea.
Hopefully Beneitz don't go buy another Shevchenko (but as a Man U
fan, I hope he does buy 10 Shevchenkos) haha....
