The Premier league are the football equivalent of the European Union,an undemocratic dictatorship controlled by a group of greedy self serving elitests. Whilst the money is so big it's only going to get worse with the introduction of new innovative routes of disguising corrupt practices. Like the world the game is so beautiful,shame about the egotistical bastards running it! | | | |

The Premier League has no such mechanisms and exists solely to earn money for the biggest clubs. | |

As for the rest of your post, I agree. You could replace the words European Union with Global Hedge Funds or Corporations. The crushing of small, local operations for the benefit of the Big Boys' bottom line. [Post edited 10 Jun 2016 22:07]

The only way to stop it is to stop supporting it,problem is most fans love their clubs to much for that sacrifice. It's become an out of control rip off. | | | |
