Yet man city doesnt have a single player who would start on any team in the world

Alot of sub par performances from a lot of these big budget teams. The Dodgers, Milan, The Phillies, even the Lakers this year. I guess you have to look a the revenue these teams bring in but Monaco has been averaging around 5,000 people for their games ( there are only 30,000 people in monaco) and just made it back to Ligue 1 and they just spent 130 million euros ($173 million) on Falcao and are going to make a 100 million bid on Ronaldo. There is no income tax in Monaco as well, players dont pay income tax on their salaries. Monacos owner Dmitry Rybolovlev just spent 8 million dollars on an apartment in new york city for his daughters security guards. lol

I think he is facing a messy divorce, his wife may end up owning AS Monaco. The life of a wealthy oligarch aint easy.

"After Petra Ecclestone, daughter of F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone purchased one of the most expensive US mansions earlier this year, its Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev’s daughter, Ekatarina, to buy the most expensive Manhattan penhouse for $88 million."

Where is NFL? They probably pay more per week. The season is only 17 weeks.
