This is good news...

Montpellier win the French league with an annual budget of less than Andy Carrol's transfer fee.

Obviously Paris SG's mega bucks haven't kicked in yet.

Just shows what can be done if you spend your resources wisely and coach the team well.

What's that you say? A team won its domestic league despite having rival clubs with ten times the spending power?

Haven't Montpelllier heard the rules about that - they are supposed to brainwash their fanbase into believing they can't compete, that UEFA will save the day with their wonderful legally unenforceable rules, to talk about sustainability and celebrate like fuck at scraping into the minor CL places on the final day of the season.

What are they doing going and winning a trophy?

fair play to them winning on a tight budget, but to be honest at the mo, PSG team would struggle to finish in the top 6 in the PL,
