Not sure if anyone has posted this, but since we get little good press these days, thought id post this i found on the times website:
"2. So Stale Solbakken is the most recent guy to put the boot into Manchester City's new found riches.
He won't be the last. How fresh money coming into football will supposedly "destroy" the game is something I simply don't understand. I can see how it can harm Sheikh Mansour's bank account, I can see how it can engender jealousy, I can see how it can annoy the traditional powers-that-be who'll have to face more competition for top players. I can also see how Mansour's millions can recirculate throughout the game and make a whole load of clubs' finances more secure.
Football has been around a long time. It will take more than Sheikh Mansour's chequebook to destroy it. If anyone can convince me of the opposite, I'm happy to listen."
