The fall and rise of Ferencvaros: Hungarian football's royalty

As I watched this I was very curious, as a Hungarian, what are your thoughts (and other Hungarian fans) on the government pumping money into the team, basically allowing them to win over the other teams in the league?

[@Rezmalac]

@@Alfuxne3749 It's not over other teams, because actually all teams in our top divison are in the hand of Fidesz (Orban's party) members. And it is very bad for football. In fact, only this money keep club football alive. So I'm not supporting any club in Hungary anymore and I'm not alone. Of course we love our national team, but what happened to our clubs is bad...

Every team has got money from the government, Ferencváros is the most popular team in Hungary by far, so they've got the best sponsorship deals. Their budget is far lower, than any other teams budget in the Champions League, it's not even the biggest in Hungary. The reason why they are here is the amazing work of Serhiy Rebrov! As far as I remember, the fans loved Craig Short, Bobby Davison was way too arrogant, and the fact doesn't help him, that hungarian players who loved Fradi were driven away even if they went to the club for a contract (some were national team players), they loaned some low quality players from Sheffield Utd instead, even if they promised Champions League before.
