Yeah Monaco is rich.
Though their team wasn't assembled with crazy money and I think that was the point.
I'm not sure that was the point. The post I quoted specifically said it's difficult to win if you don't have deep pockets, and used them in the same comparison as Leicester, implying what Monaco did was against the odds. They do have deep pockets and it's what allowed them to go from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 contender in a short matter of time. No matter how you cut it they're a terrible example to use. I'm not claiming they simply bought their title, but they have spent a lot of money for a Ligue 1 club since their promotion, more than anyone else other than PSG. So when you're one of the richest clubs in your league and you use that money to create one of the best teams, you can't claim that's some remarkable achievement. It's quite a realistic conclusion actually.
