The end of football in England

Yes with the coming of the Arabs into the premier league, that will signal the end of football as we know it. Now clubs have become the play field of the rich and ultra rich. The good about it is that all the top players will be in the premier league.

You will have the american owners of Manchester and liverpool pitting themselves against the Arab owners of Manchester city and a russian owner of Chelsea. The only problem is i hope these owners will understand that buying galacticos and building a team full of star players don't always win games.

Chelsea is one good example. Money can buy title but will never win fans. It can never buy history and most of all can never buy loyalty.

The problem with English football now is that though the league is exicting. It will come as a detriment to English world cup hopes. No more building young players as everyone wants instant success

I hope the Arab owners of Manchester city can read this, building a team full of money minded stars will not win champions and not make them the biggest club. People support clubs that groom players and build football as a team sports.

Why manchester united is so well supported is for one single reason, they give opportunity to young players and also make an effort to bring through academy players who are loyal to the club. History have proven that soccer is not a individual sport but a team sport where every member plays a big part. I hope they learn from Real Madrid mistake. They build their team full of stars but did not win any trophy.

And lastly, just because a club can buy players do not make the club necessary the biggest club in the world. Well all i know is that the premier league now will be full of world stars. In any way as fan i would thoroughly enjoy it.

Go Manchester
