		<description>It may sound like I&#039;m stating the obvious here, but I&#039;ll just say this: more and more people in the business world are starting to look at football clubs as an &lt;b&gt;investment&lt;/b&gt;. 

Abramovich is probably the exception, because based on the money he spends for certain players, I believe he treats Chelsea more like a personal toy than effectively a revenue platform. With that said, the amount of money that can be generated from a football club ownership (provided the team&#039;s well managed and starts winning trophies) is non-negligeable: TV rights, merchandising, and ticket sales are at the top of the money-making list. If your team is playing the Champions League, revenue is multiplied exponentially. So no wonder the likes of Glazer, Magnusson, Shinawatra and Usmanov are getting into the business.

To answer your question, &quot;Can Money Buy You Happiness in the Premier League&quot;? I believe it certainly  can... it&#039;ll make your team better, that&#039;s for sure. 
Will it be enough to turn them into an unstoppable trophy-winning machine? No. Chelsea and Real Madrid are ample proof of that fact.</description>
