Not having to play in Europe certainly helps those with perhaps weaker and smaller squads. Ultimately, however, quality will shine through. Hence why Man City beat Liverpool to the title a few seasons back.
On that basis messi isn't world class as he has only performed at club level. How long have you been watching football?! Perhaps you should watch a different sport.
Sacked LVG and replaced him with a manager who was sacked in his lost job.
In any event, no matter how much money is thrown at the club, mid table obscurity beckons.
Top 2 are already settled. Arsenal appear likely to take a top 4 spot. Southampton have run out of steam. Spurs have perhaps a good chance to break into the top 4 and as do Liverpool.

However, Van Gaal seems to have no knowledge or ideas as to how to set his team to play. The fact...

Most expensive and the worst. A club that has paid over the odds for players not wanted by other teams. Madrid have been laughing all the way to the bank having secured nearly £60 million for the biggest flop in premier league history.
