If this was funded by the government, you'd be right to complain. But it isn't. This is all funded by people who want involvement in football. Rich people (Russians or otherwise) dump vast sums into clubs. Individual people pay for tickets, replica kit or SkySports.

Result: clubs get money. And as long as the money's there, clubs will spend it. If clubs can't get enough money to afford those kind of wages or transfer fees, they won't happen. But if people like you keep throwing money at them, either directly through club replica kit and tickets or indirectly through SkySports, then you're maintaining the system as it stands.

Why do you think it would be otherwise?
