Vote: Will foreign investment damage football?
Could big money burst the Premier League bubble?
While Robinho continues to struggle to remember the name of the club he has signed for, Arsene Wenger has voiced concerns over foreign investment ‘destabilising’ English football:
The Frenchman insists clubs must operate within the financial limits of the business rather than delving into the pockets of wealthy owners.”If you push that too far, there are no rules any more,” said Wenger.
“Once you get to the prices mentioned in the media, where is the logic? There is too much destabilisation.”
There is no question that the bottomless pockets of foreign moneymen is changing the dynamic of the top flight, but will it make the league more competitive and dissolve the dominance of the big four? Or will the Premier League eat itself as competing clubs price fans out of the game in order to compete and Garry Cook’s vision of a breakaway Super League becomes more viable?

All that money and Mark Hughes still talks out of his rear end. Why would Wenger envy him, after all Arsenal have by far the better team and haven’t sold their soul to get it.
Relegation for City? Let’s hope so!!!
