yep, the premier league is all about the money, at the moment its a race to get into the lucrative top 4 and CL for the mega bucks.
Liverpool, Citeh, Spuds, Man Utd, Gunners and Chelsea. 6 clubs all battling it out for the CL places makes it exciting.

Then we have Leicester, Everton, Wolves and even Sheff Utd knocking on the door and capable of displacing any of the other 6.

This means we have 10 teams capable of getting into the CL every season, creating a massive tv revenue, all of which have had massive amounts of money invested.

Now imagine Newcastle get taken over by owners who's wealth dwarfs the entire league combined, Sky will have it as the rise of the sleeping giant all over the globe, the premier league will be rubbing their greedy hands together
