Football Financial Bully Boys

We read again today about the so called ability of Chelsea to buy who they want as they seem to have a bottomless pit of funds. They are 'interested' in Micah Richards as they have not yet found any one to fil that role. So the smaller clubs will suffer their teams becoming a little bit weaker and the Chelsea bully boys get a bit stronger. Short term gain may be a long term disaster for the likes of City and others who provide the long term investment in football through their academy policies. City still miss the skills of SWP - who probably regrets his move as he no longer has regular first team playing opportuities and has lost his national team place [but no doubt his agent doesn't].

They are following in the footsteps of the likes of United [hiss] who had a similar policy in the past but no longer seem to have the same kind of money since the Glazers took over [it couldn't have happened to a nicer team!].

Isn't it time that we look at the size of squads, if Chelsea and their likes continue to buy up talent no one else will have enough to put a team [worthy of the Premiership] together and we could end up with a much smaller top league and our national team will will aslo suffer. We must put a stop to these bully boy tactics.
