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. | ![](/images/avatars/1395.gif) |

Agreed, should have held out for a minimum of £20 million with only the FL clubs being allowed to share in the prize money. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

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. | ![](/images/avatars/11235.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

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. | ![](/images/avatars/1422.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
