Richest clubs in the Game

Having a healthy economy in the club is one of the main tasks of a manager. He has the power to buy and sell players as he sees fit to be part of his club. Some managers are extremely good at trading players, while others rely on virtually same team season after season. Last season, 2005-2006, money changed owners as did players.
