Some people still think that modern football is not all about money, look at just one season of Manchester City were they were very bad, infact last season was their worst season in over a decade, but take a look at what they've done in the transfer market from January this year to present and they are not yet done in the transfer window. Manchester City are coming stronger next season, that a sign of a serious team in my own opinion.
It seems that those who said football is not all about money never watched football. In fact, the rich club dominated any top league in europe. City is just one of example about how money can solve club's problem instantly. No need to develop the talent, and just buy a well developed one. That's it.
