He's likely referring to the stinking rich buying up clubs they have absolutely zero connection with, probably know very little about and using them as their own play toys.

Let's face it; probably the main reason Man City were bought is because they have Manchester in their name. The guys who felt like treating themselves one day, think they might be able to create an Inter/Milan, Fenerbache/Galatasaray, etc scenaro.

Blatter says the amount of cash in the Premier League gives English clubs an advantage over their European rivals.
How can he say that when a Spanish club has just spent over £130m on two players? The top four + city have only signed a couple of players between them since the end of the season and nowhere near that amount of money. Blatter just can't help himself having a pop at English clubs.
