So you don’t like a club breaking into the dominance of the so called top few, I like the emergence of City, Chelsea and Leicester and long may it continue same with PSG, never been a fan of United especially since Sky tried to take them over and wanted to make them invincible home and abroad.

What are you on about Mick? You’re one of the brightest posters on here but I don’t get this blind spot of yours.

Back in the 1980s, or even 1990s, when the financial gaps were nowhere near as big, you had teams like Forest, Southampton, Everton, Ipswich, Villa, Leeds, even Norwich challenging for the title and sometimes even winning it. The fact that any club hoping to challenge for the title can only do so by spending hundreds of millions of pounds is crazy!

PSG is a terrible example – they’ve destroyed the French league, winning the title and most of the cups year after year. If they were run as professionally as City, they’d have won the Champions League too by now.

I’m all for mixing things up, that’s exactly the reason why we need much better rules on the way the game is run in this country. The salary cap was a very small step in that direction.
