Ferguson Prepares to Hit the Feeding Trough

We’ve examined the have’s and have-not’s in the Premier League in previous posts. The disparity was between them was brought into focus by a comment from Sir Alex Ferguson this week.
Manchester United announced this week that they have signed three key players to long-term contracts (well…two key players and Wes Brown). But it doesn’t stop there for Fergie:
“We have a strong squad already and this just keeps it going,” said Ferguson. “And I would imagine there is a good possibility of stocking up again in the summer.”
Stocking up? Nice term. Sounds like a fat man at a buffet, doesn’t it?
Will the teams coming out of the Championship be stocking up this summer? How about the teams that managed to escape relegation? Or the ones stuck in the mid-table obscurity? Clearly no - so it’s just the rich getting better (and therefore richer) and everyone else falling further behind.
Or…business as usual for the Premier League.
How many more years of this and arrogant comments from the Big Four clubs managers do we have to take before people wake up and realize the game isn’t the same.
Phil, I hope you enjoyed cup of tea at the Riverside since we already hear that he will be big four bound this summer.
Alves cup of tea is what I meant to say.
LOL Kartik, you had me scratching my head there for a minute.
I can’t see Alves going anywhere in the summer…he hasn’t exactly set the league alight. There are plenty of grumbles in the Boro ranks.
