Devoid of a wealthy backer willing to lavish (and lose) millions, it worked very much as a real business, year after year, breaking even or turning a small profit. When it came time to make some serious capital investments -- moving out of historic, but cramped, Highbury in favor of a new 60,000-seater at Ashburton Grove -- it did so intelligently, securing financing and building a comfortable, state-of-the-art stadium capable of generating substantial match-day revenue.</description><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:21:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Limey: Transfer market heats up in the EPL, and ESPN moves in</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/06/26/transfer.market/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/06/26/transfer.market/index.html</guid><description>Credit crunch and slow economy be damned, the soccer world is still spinning from the record-busting $131 million fee Real Madrid is on the verge of pumping into Manchester United's coffers for FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo.

This week, we run through the English Premier League looking at possible transfer targets, and who might be heading for the exit door.</description><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:11:00
