Rafael Benitez: Money Makes Manchester United Dominant, Not Alex Ferguson


Which club has consistently broken the transfer record over the last 15 years? It is United."

"For me, it does not matter whether Alex Ferguson is the manager of Manchester United or not," the Spaniard continued.

"It will always be difficult to beat United simply because they are the club with the big money.

"Would it be easier for me without Ferguson? I don't think anything will change in my job whether he is at United or not.

lol. that made me chuckle

[nivek]

atleast the money they spend is money they've won in competitions... not money donated by sugar daddys...

[Fern9do]

You dont win that much from competitions surely?
Think most of their money comes from ticket sales, TV deals and merchandising.
They have money because of their success, and their success is partly due to their money.

Think Rafa was just taking the piss out of Fergie :)

that is a lie The Times ,dont know if you heard of them have proved that manc fanboy wrong :rolleyes:

if you missed it this was what they said


“He’s well ahead of us in spending in the last five years” he claims.

Well, here’s the facts for you, Mr. Ferguson, courtesy of The Times newspaper so you can’t argue the figures are biased.

£221.95m: Manchester United’s gross spend on transfers (£147.90 million net) since June 2004, when Rafael Benítez was appointed Liverpool manager, up to and including January 2009 transfer window.

£212.60m: Liverpool’s spending (£111.39 million net) during same period.

It’s also worth noting Carlos Tevez’ protracted £32m fee isn’t included there and Djibril Cisse (£14m) was actually signed by Gerard Houllier before Benitez arrived.

As for Fergie’s rant about signing young players and claiming Rafa has a “different philosophy”, let’s look at the facts again.

Rafa Benitez has handed first-team debuts to Jay Spearing, Martin Kelly, Stephen Darby and David N’gog this season, as well developing Emiliano Insua, Lucas Leiva and Nabil El Zhar into first team regulars.

Maybe when Mr. Ferguson talks about developing young players maybe he means spending £12m on Ronaldo, £27m on Rooney, £15m on Tosic, £18m on Anderson and £14m on Nani?


how can you come on here and quote dirty scum websites :D who are clearly biased and make up their own figures :D

Money has made a difference in the success of Manchester United.

If money was everything then Chelsea and Blackburn ('95) would have been a dominant force. Food for thought :D

Don't count out Chelsea just yet... :cool:

Remember, you can have the worlds best players, it doesnt mean that they will automatically win.

The coach needs to make them play.
