So yes.
It is unfair but that's the way football rolls. The possible difference between Feyenoord and Barcelona/Madrid/United is that the latter three teams can guarantee unbelievable amounts of revenue over thre course of a season through ticket sales, worldwide merchandise and TV licensing. If the dutch FA stepped in and placed a transfer embargo on Barcelona/Madrid/United until their finances were right, they could sort it out with minimal impact on the field (No-one sold, wages remain unchanged etc). In 2009/10, the toal revenue for those three clubs ranged from €349.8m to €438.6m. The top 20 cut off point was €109.4m and no Dutch teams were in the top 20 (or even top 30, where the cut off was €94m).
I have no problem with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United etc buying big for the quest of success. My problem occurs when multi-millionaires take over a new club with the sole aim of spending as much as possible in order to achieve short term success. Completely destroys football and any club that does it has only the respect of it's own fans in my mind. It's taken Barcelona/Real Madrid/United/Liverpool/Milan/Arsenal etc decades to get themselves to where they are today in modern football.
What a hero he is for Arsenal. 
here's to a speedy and full recovery. 
..... but you all will see, Bayern Munich will lose vs those 
Dortmund
