I am not sure that title was used much before the inception of the premier league. Team seemed to build more then than buy trophies and more team's had a chance of wining something, other than a handfull , the rest are fighting to survive in the top flight, Everton a prime example.The money now involved is just obscene.
Am i jealous, not a chance. Don't ever want to get back to the premier league as it stands. Mid table financially secure championship , is my pipe dream. Now just finishing my letter to Santa.

The achievement is hollow, built on sand.
I know it will not happen, but if the money goes, lots of these clubs could go with it.Kevin1954, vladimir and Rogered Tart like this. -

As for electronic advertisement boards, it might give us something to watch, when the football is shite.Rogered Tart likes this. -

The ‘buying title’ line has always been used though. Even when Blackburn won the title in 1994/5, the same criticism was levelled at them after Jack Walker had bought Shearer and others.
it is just jealously a lot of the time. You need to spend money to invest, to progress (are you reading Stefan?).
Man City wasted a lot of money in the early years of arab ownership, all at a time when Chelsea were being bankrolled by Abramovitch, who is the one that seemed to start the trend of ridiculous / money-is-no-object spending.
The whole game has been corrupted and is rotten at the top.
In the 90s when it was Wenger and Fergie going at it, it seemed more grounded, although not sure if that’s just because I was a kid and not open to seeing the corruption as much.
These days the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd are funded by loans taken out by American owners. So are they really any better than Arab-owned City or Saudi-owned Newcastle. All as rotten as each other?
The points deduction Everton got wasn’t fair and should be reversed.
So many of these clubs bend their finances to do what they can to compete at the top.Bronco likes this. -
