People can talk about the billions Heart's owners have but that can only have a certain amount of influence in a salary capped league. City would not have gotten to the top of the Premier League in a salary capped league. This does not mean 'Melbourne City' will be a superpower next season.
Always have been and always will be in Victory's shadow. Real clubs with real fans will always dominate plastic clubs in a league with a cap.
So clubs with big backers like Abramovich and Mansour aren't real clubs with real fans? Tell that to the approx 30k fans who rocked up to Maine Road every week when City were playing in the English 3rd division.
I guess only clubs like United who broke the record English transfer today are real huh? Or Arsenal who have a shitload of "plastic" fans around the world who jumped on the bandwagon in the early to mid 2000's.
On ya bike...
