I have to agree the Premier League IMO has been the ruin of Football in this Country. Its all about money and nothing else the richest clubs are at the top year after year and true competition for the League title has disappeared. As someone who stood on the terraces at White Hart Lane in the 1960's it saddens me see the state of football in the Country today. Very little of the money generated by the EPL makes it to grass roots football and that is why we have few youngsters coming through who are truly world class (Jack Wilshire) is the only one who come to mind. The Spanish and Germans grasped the nettle over 10 years ago and look at them now. The FA have overseen this terrible situation come to pass. I apologise for this rant in advance, but it saddens me to see this happen.
