A Leodensian view of the Loidis Tribe v Boscombe Vegas - Saturday scrimmage.

The version of Bournemouth Mrs O talked about is precisely why more and more Americans are buying Premier League clubs, and the league will soon be called The WTF league. It's all business and nothing else. Man U's Rapid downfall didn't happen till the Americans took over, and now they are the laughing stock. No doubt Bournemouth's luck will change like other teams, and then another Bournemouth will replace them. The two ex-players show how overrated they are, and we all fell for them as the next Raphs. Now we have some cheapies, and again we marvel at them when in fact they are just average players.
Newcastle is the richest club by far, worth 620 billion, next best is Man C 280, you ponder wtf is going on, they should be owning this league. Liverpool 13 billion, and Arsenal is 17 billion, are miles in front, so what is going on?
This is the current list of owners and clubs' riches.

Make no mistake about it the Premier League once made for the fans is non-existent anymore, as fans are just puppets and spin doctors and crooks laugh at us. Like the world is changing, so is sport for the worst.

I suspect Oz that as soon as the promotion to/relegation from rules re the PL are scrapped then PSR will go too as there is no monopoly to protect.

Money definitely has had a massive influence over the last 30 years. Blackburn, Chelsea and City all won titles with big cash injections.

Chelsea and City went from being also rand to truly huge clubs with success fans could have only dreamed of in the 1990s.
