| www.soccer lens.com Manchester City one of the most spending teams |
It was not long when football was all about the passion of playing the beautiful game. Recently money has taking the centre stage in the world of football with wealthy clubs taking advantage of the resources they have at their disposal. More investments has gone into soccer with wealthy people in the world investing in teams and also willing to do anything to benefit from their investments. We have teams like your Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Paris Santi Germain which are willing to pay out any price to get the players on their wish lists. One would not forget the spending spree all this teams above have spend in the past since the takeover of their new owners with them speeding a larger amount of money between them like:
- Real Madrid has spend over £180million on the acquisition of their current players the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzima
- Manchester City have been the busiest team recently as they have spend over £9330,4million on the current crop of players they have in their disposal since the takeover of the wealthy Abu Dhabi royal family
- With teams like Chelsea having spend a whooping £2billion since the takeover of the Russian businessman Roman Abromovich back in 2003
- While teams like Paris Saint Germain have already spend over €200million on players from last year since the takeover of new owners
This goes to show that money has taken over the world of football as teams spend heavily on players to win silverware. But we also have teams like your Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona and others which do not spend such amount of money but they have been doing good, yes some would argue that a team like Arsenal have not been winning silverware because of their tight budget but it has been the case even when they were winning they did not spend such amount. The question is that are this teams buying glory? or a team wins because it has passionate players who are willing to play their heart out for the team under any circumstances? Even back here home teams are starting to spend on players what about teams that cant afford such players. Yes every team is on its own but this big name players when they fail at the top teams go back to the so-called small teams which cannot afford their salary demands. Does spending a lot of money guarantee you success?

At least it`s understandable because they get players that have a passion for football,players which are not just about money. It`s sad when it comes to SA football,teams spend a lot of money buying players that do not have a passion for football,disagree with me if thyat`s a lie
ReplyDeletei agree with zubenathi, south african players dont have the passion for soccer,they are just doing it for cash,european soccer is far more interesting because of its dedicated players.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why football has become a commercial thing is that even the sponsors expect to make profit out of the football industry, therefore soccer team are forced to buy high profile players that will generate more supportters for that particular team so that it can get lot of income and sponsors beacuse if the team has too much sopportters the sponsor get lot of exposure.
ReplyDeleteand yet i thought that people do sport because they have the passion for thier own crafts
ReplyDeletei wont try to isolate players because all of them play soccer for a living a thing here is about the money that clubs put on players when buying them this end up putting the club in finacial debts. On south african players they do have passion just that they think a lot of money the forget their reason to play soccer its not for the money but the club and the fans
ReplyDeleteTeams makes sure that they use their money to get whatever they want and they have proven that.The likes of Real Madrid,Man City and PSG ar4e showing that to the world that they can buy whoever they want to play for them because moola.Worldwide,some players are in the game for the passion of it but some to make cash for living.
ReplyDeleteyea many footbollers inowdays play soccer not by being passionate about soccer but because of money.bafana bafana is one of the teams which suffer in this.
ReplyDeleteThis new fifa rule wont work because in football those teams that do not relies on their owners, they often build players and sell in large amount, most of the richest people run to buy teams because they runaway from tax.
