The only club that could sell for that much is, Manchester United.

because it's the biggest club in the world ;)

1.2 billion is affordable, for some.

The biggest club in the world is nearly 1B in debt? Haha. I wish they'd just restart football without the worthless players who work once a week and get paid rediculous amounts. I hope the entire game gets into a huge mess.

First of all, you think Footballers only work "once a week"? I think you forget they're training basically every day they're not playing as well as doing other things.

"Get paid rediculous amounts". Oh right, yeah. Because the film industry isn't known to offer extraordinarily high wages is it? :rolleyes:

They train for a short amount of time. They don't deserve even a 1/3 of what they earn per week.

The film industry is far tougher and ruthless than football. People earn what they are paid, which is more often than not considerably less than footballers. Actors are the ones who are overpaid, but the film-makers are the ones who earn what they get, as it's specifically their work that earns the money that they get back anyway.
