These teams aren\'t really moneymaking ventures in Europe...many of them are political tools, or personal playthings. That leads to a lot of ridiculous spending from a select few teams, and Real really leads the pack with it. I don\'t think Mourinho is doing it for the money though. I think there\'s two factors; 1) I think he had a lot of bitter feuds with the Italian media and Italian soccer officials these past two years despite his great results, and he\'s through with that grief. Italian soccer can be very insular, and Mourinho was never on the inside. 2) I think Mourinho is one of the most ego-driven people in a sport full of them, and he wants to do something historic by winning three CL\'s with three different teams.
