Why is how it's generated important? I just recently found out that Danny Fizsman used £50m of his own cash to invested in our squad and that helped us win trophies. That's a lot of money back then but does that taint us slightly?

Fergie spent money. Before Chelsea arrived they broke records bringing in Veron and Rude.
