It’s because football is a business and their owners have embraced that, yes it goes against the traditional grain but times have moved on and football isn’t immune from big business and greed, it is what it is. Manchester City are on the way to being a mega global brand and having a foothold in other countries with a similar footprint to their English set-up is the result. Don’t see why it bothers you unless your a frustrated Man U fan who hates the competition, get used to it because it’s not going away and since the Premier League was formed it’s unfortunately what it’s all about these days. Money money money, Abba warned us years ago but we ignored them and the money men took our beautiful game away and made it theirs, clubs like us are still important locally but that’s about it and if Scunthorpe United go bang tomorrow it will barely make a national headline and then only for a day or so.
