Are all these russian and arab billionaire clubs

i guess it has kept alan shearer on our screens too. i should learn to think before i speak so recklessly.

Fans are selfish by nature.

so it's good for the game?

Good for the game maybe not, but was it good for the game to have a handful of clubs with all the power and money before?

Things have changed, you just have to accept it and move on.

is that a general message for anyone who opposes any change of rule?

you seemed quite intent for arsenal fans to show their displeasure and couldn't understand why they weren't/are not. so surely the same applies to us as arsenal fans? don't grumble, shut up, deal with it and move on. nothing to see here.

I'd personally prefer to see lots of clubs sign the best players than 1 or 2 clubs snap them all up as in terms of competing it makes it harder if a handful of clubs have all the best players.

but the same thing will develop, on a higher scale. an elite group of multi billionaire clubs ruling the roost.

what has changed in england? Two clubs every year on rotation competing for the title. no one else.

If we were man city we could satisfy this contradiction. But we are not. Sucks to be us, we are ruining the beautiful game.

which in turn reduces arsenals chances of signing the best players. what the fuck are you on about?

Not really no, our situation is somewhat different, we have a shedload of money just won't spend it, this is despite charging astronomical ticket prices....fans should have a say in this considering they are the ones paying for it.

We aren't paying for Billionaires buying up clubs.

I'm not saying you can't vent your displeasure about the game, what you have to accept though is that it's unlikely to change as none of the people at the top seem intent on doing anything about it.

No really no, because we're not interested in the best players, we're only interested in bargain basement buys, so it has no impact on us.

The more billionaires there are the more clubs are in the mix, right now we have probably more clubs with a chance of success than before when the likes of Barca, Madrid and Man U were pretty much dominating.

I'm not saying you should like it, but from a point of view of competition, having more clubs with money creates greater competition.
