Begins???
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!

I think you are being hard of the EU which is accountable both through the council of ministers, the general affairs council and the European Parliament, all of which provide checks, balance and challenge. The Premier League has no such mechanisms and exists solely to earn money for the biggest clubs.

Agreed, should have held out for a minimum of £20 million with only the FL clubs being allowed to share in the prize money.

Didn't renew my season ticket for.next season, totally disenchanted with the whole state of football, admittedly my new job had some part to play, but ffs,one chance the 48 lower placed clubs had of a non pls off day out at Wembley and they've fúcked it up, you just know the final is going to between arsenal/ Chelsea youth v man utd/city youth, the first step towards B sides in the FL, its the start of a slow death for football outside the PL.

My 'begins' was referring to the specific act of placing their youth/reserve teams in the Football League.

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.

You obviously have a lot of faith in those organisations Dane. From where I'm standing they're about as effective at controlling/restricting the Real Power as the FA.

Perhaps,however we have no power to vote any of them out meaning they can do pretty much as they please.
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.
