A Quote by Manuel Pellegrini

Premier League clubs have a lot of money, that's why they're strong and have a lot of good players.
I know the questions will be around the money, the amount Chelsea had to spend to bring him here but that's the reality of modern football. Big teams only want big players, big players are in big clubs, big clubs want to keep their big players.
United are one of the biggest clubs in the country. They're a massive team; they want to win the title. They spent a lot of money, like a lot of the big teams.
For clubs, free movement plays a big role in transfers and players' contracts. Players from the E.U. can sign for U.K. clubs without needing a visa or special work permit, making it quicker and easier to secure top talent from across Europe to come and play in our leagues.
It's true there were a lot of clubs interested in me - I had talks with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

The buying power of clubs is very different. You can't sign players if you don't have money, and if there is no money, that's it. As a player, there's nothing you can do.

For me, my work is pretty much a lot of my identity. I mean I live to work, basically. With money I'm able to earn I don't put into clothes especially or things like that.

So in that sense, the work is kind of a surrogate religion, maybe not so surrogate, maybe it is part religion.
Managers and players at different clubs, it's difficult to compare.
