Promote democratic evolution and win cash! Please vote on the following opinion if you get a moment:

Mourinho Vs Manchester U.
http://www.votivation.com/admin/opinion.php?opinion_id=2163

I think that: Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has accused Manchester United of trying to buy the Premiership trophy.
Because: this is from a man whose club has splashed over 300 million in transfer fees since Roman Abramovic took over four years ago.
United have already spent 50 million this summer to bring in Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson, but that figure pales into insignificance next to the massive 110 million spent by Chelsea in 2003 and the 91 million the year after; a spending spree which arguably bought Chelsea two Premiership trophies.
Mourinho seems to think he can justify his statement because he did not pay a penny for stars Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko last summer

All football clubs that have access to money use it to "buy" the title
at some stage. Be it Chelsea FC under Roman Abramovich, Manchester
Utd, and outside of England in recent times, AC Milan and Real Madrid.
The only people who usually complain are the ones that don't have the
money to do it!
