Sorry has this been written by a Sky Sports journalist? You are aware that the Football League was created in 1888? Or is it just easier to fall in line with the 'Rupert Murdoch invented football'myth?

Could be even better...

Which is exactly why the premier league is slightly flawed IMO. I would rather find out who the best is on an even playing field. Introducing a player salary cap would sort out the boys from the men. I think everyone should have to take a gamble and risks with players, it would add a whole other dimension to the competition. I just can't understand someone buying a premiership. Although it still is a great competition, I just think it could be even better!
