After Sulaiman of Abu Dhabi United bought Man City and pulled off a spectacular transfer coup by buying Robinho, I suddenly lost interest in EPL. Sulaiman also made a bold claim that the club will soon buy the best players in the market to compete for premier league honours.
This news might be good for Man City fans who can finally think of challenging their city rivals but the question of whether Abu Dhabi can stay committed to Man City remains unanswered. It's pretty scary to know that Abu Dhabi can just exit at anytime and leave the club with a mountain of wages to pay.
I have to agree that $$$ is the defining factor between champions and losers. The only clubs whom I think will win the championship are either Chelsea and Man U cos they spent a lot on quality players and the EPL is turning into a stock market where passion and loyalty takes a back seat and $$$ is The factor.
The only likely scenarios which I envision for the next few years is that the transfer wages are going to spiral out of control and the next talented player on the planet will be commanding a staggering $200 000 per week and the subscription fees and ticket prices are going to increase and the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
I'm not going to be a slave of this crazy circus and pay $$$ and going to do something bold which I will have never thought I will do: CANCEL my sports TV subscription.
