At the moment the best footballer in the world is Andriy SHEVCHENKO. EPL does not stand such big names, because theirs are then too small with no WORLD-CLASS quality like SHEVA!!

roman didnt just sugar daddy chelsea he allowed them to have an actual way to make money, its no coincidence that chelsea are now a big name up their with arsenal, liverpool and manU. They have a brand power now that allows better players to come as well as sell more.
ManC will also go that route, Newcastle were never gonna go that route because to that you need to overhaul the entire infrastructure and playing base which will cost 600 million dollars or more since chelsea at least had some high level players.

Hicks and Gillet aren’t billionaires anyway, they are skint lying con-men. Credit Crunch or no Credit Crunch they never intended to honour their promises. At least Ashley actually spent money to clear Newcastle’s debt, whilst Liverpool’s ‘owners’ are pilling more and more debt onto the club. *insert swear words here*

As you know since the establishment of the Premier League the fan base has changed radically and in impact has not only what the (new)fan expects from ownership but what they value.
