The English League in the 70s, 80s and until the mid 90s are simply great to watch. There are more English players than foreigners. Transfer fees are not inflated. There is a level playing field for all teams.
The promise of the pre-presidential election of some football started to bring in world class players started to bring up the transfer fees. Soon came the investor buying over the clubs and start pouring in millions into the club. They pay over the moon for a star player and offer hard to resist finanical package to the players. When the team do not achieve the results in just 8-10 matches into the season, the owners sack the manager. Football clubs are run like business nowsaday.
No longer can the poorer club compete with the teams backed up by millionaires. Unless and until rich investor take over the likes of Leeds Utd, Stoke City , Nottingham Forest, Oldham Alt etc..they always end up in the lower tier of the league.
Watching the EPL is no longer as enjoyable as before. It's sickening to see the same teams challenging for the league title.
I hope FIFA can do something, otherwise the beautiful game will be a boring game.
