Hmmm........

I think your rant proves what I was saying.

Chelsea are ruining football in this country. I am not having a go at the small hardcore support that Chelsea have. Like all clubs, they have a hardcore that will support through thick and thin. Those fans are a credit to football. But Chelsea just don't have the support to be able to challenge Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool in the global market. They are just a small club who struck gold.

They cannot support their massive spending. They are an insolvent club, who lost over £100Million last year. Without Abramovich's open chequebook they would be consigned to the history books.

What happens when Mr Chelski decides he's had enough? He will walk away, and where will your club be. Bankrupt. No doubt about it. Even if he takes the astronomical debt with him, they can't even afford to pay the wages of the players.

Of course, if Newcastle had a rich benefactor I would be smiling. But I would also be very nervous about the future if that rich benefactor was throwing money around like Abramovich without a care in the world. The club still needs to be ran as a business regardless of how much personal money the chairman has.

Weak argument? What???? You think buying any player in the world for as much money as it takes doesn't give Chelsea a huge and unfair advantage over every other team? My grandmother could manage them if she had unlimited funds.

The top and bottom of it is, every other team in the premiership have to fight tooth and nail for every penny that they EARN - and that in my eyes makes each and every one of those clubs more entitled to the premiership than Chelsea. You mention other clubs trying to buy the title, such as Man Utd, Chelsea, Leeds...... BUT the difference is THAT WAS THEIR MONEY that was earned through their business and their investments. It wasn't given to them on a silver plate.

I am just trying to provoke a healthy debate - so there's no need for any personal attacks. But we are all entitled to our opinions, and thats what these forums are for.
