Well of course clubs generally spend large amounts of money to win the league. My issue with MC, Chelsea and the like is that they essentially won the lottery and then bought the trophy. Chelsea's owner is particularly dodgy and they were very close to going bust before he came in.

The reason I don't have an issue with MU spending large amounts is because they built their wealth through whoring their brand out, same as most other clubs in England. It's their own money that they earned through sponsorship, commercial deals and whatever, as the PL became more popular. It's not the same as what MC have done.

In fact if anything, MU were actually being held back during 05-12 after the Glazer takeover.
