Not just the league, but football is worse off. i'll even concede that if it was just Roman it would be manageable, but now we have your mob spending half a bill this window (if they get enzo), Newcastle will be guaranteed top 2 in 5 years, city will be top 2 forever, and then what happens? United can spend with them, but your lot won't be able to sustain this.

If Liverpool got Qatari owners and won 10 leagues on the trot, I'd obviously enjoy it, but it wouldn't improve the sport, and I'd more than likely have stopped watching. Football shouldn't be about owners - it should be about clubs, managers, and players.

I don't begrudge you what happened at Chelsea, because I'm self aware enough to know that if our clubs were reversed, I'd be laughing about the tears, too, but just trying to give an honest view on what's happened over the last 20 years, and going forward.
