I'm a United fan and ocasionally went watching Bolton. I remember walking off Burnden about 30 years ago, when the full time scores were being announced and united had lost, which resulted in the biggest cheer of the day.

Wether you buy your players or produce your own doesn't really matter , all clubs will sometimes produce players and then other times have to buy

It's about where the money comes from , both Liverpool and United have spent money they have earned , but now it seems we are entering the era of the ' Charity ' club

Man Utd through the 70's and 80's did not do the above in 89 Utd were skint trying to sell it lock stock and barrel for 10m. Man city are no different today as Utd were 20 years ago. Only difference you need 100's of millions not 10's

Chelsea have been buying the best players for the last god knows how many years now and have won the champions league how many times?????? they have outspent United and brought in numerous world class coaches yet have been unable to emulate what fergie has done at United.

Our starting 11 saturday may not have had many youth product but few can deny that quallity coaching and shrewd purchases rather big money buys were behind this seasons run to the final and a record 19th championship.

Boys like Fabio and Hernandez who lined along side Park, Vidic and Evra players who cost next to nothing in comparison to what City and Chelsea spend and can be far from called buying the best.

Look at the bench Scholes, Owen, Fletcher cost nothing.

Van Der Sar was a bargain basement buy at 35 from Fulham.

Only Rooney and Rio many years ago now cost big money.

Wrong again.

This site is called RLFANS and this is the Leigh Centurions part of it, there is an ANOTHER SPORTS part of RL fans where people can have their petty arguments about other sports I would suggest people use it, or I will start to put every topic not about RL or Leigh centurions on there, this may be thought of as draconian but behave like kids and get treated like them.
