O analiză Forbes a erei Premier League arată că dacă pompezi suficienți bani într-un club, mai devreme sau mai târziu o să ia campionatul:
To be very direct, Chelsea and Manchester City are built upon a foundation of money not found within the normal economic means of a soccer club. These two teams are funded by owners who are rich due to their activities outside of soccer, and other than meeting UEFA’s financial fair play rules seem to have little care for running a break even operation.
It is the use of such outside money that leads to accusations of Chelsea and City buying the titles they now have. Perhaps “buying” is an imprecise term, as all clubs must buy and pay players to win one. The more exact term would “financing the title with unsustainable debt and/or losses”.
