InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Basically (and I''m not quite sure how) some idiot in my politics class reckons that the premierleague isnt becoming a ''millionaires paradise'' and that teams in the premierleague arent in the premierleague because of all their wealth (how he thinks they''ve got all their good players i dont do....). I would greatly appreciate some facts and arguments that back up my point. I''ve got politics tomorrow and a whole argument/case against his would be appreciated.Cheers allOTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyCanary 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Do a search for a post by Lambert is King about how the parachute payments have changed this has some great views and info that will help your case.Also the 3 teams that are relegated this season should prove your point as 2 of them are in financial meltdown and the team that is not is not because they didn''t spend any money and thus got relegated due to lack of depth and quality.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Basically its impossible to compete without risking the future of your club, as is shown by the fact Burnley were relegated and Pompey/Hull did gamble and have still gone down and are in a serious mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 688 Posted May 6, 2010 Google for comments made by John Madjeski in respect of his views on what promotion to the Prem did to Reading, you could add the Norwich City experience to that arguement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
