Have Chelsea and City saved football?

If this is a response to a previous article, I agree, and it was mentioned in that article. Without City/Chelsea, United could well have run away with 9 or 10 titles in a row.

However, looking back even a decade (hence my previous post), that would probably never happen. Never has any team won it more than three times in a row, no matter how successful.

Would Arsenal and United be fighting it out this season, for example?

It was in response to your post and I accept your argument. I just don't think it is that simple.

Who knows, the fact is they aren't and yet they were so therefore a change has occurred and that change is good, 2 others so far have won it, possibly a third this year and more importantly the top 4 has also changed with clubs like Everton and Spurs also getting a sniff at CL.

I think the point is, it's a two line article that just rips the pi$s out of the monstrosities fraught with incorrect information that you posted mate.

Before Abramovic, it was United/Arsenal. Abramovic turned that in to United/Chelsea.

Sheikh turned it in to United/City, while Fergie was there.

Until this year, there has virtually always been a duopoly where various clubs challenged United in periods.

again wrong seeing as chelsea won the league and champions league after the sheik took over? whats up with people

Yes I imagine Spurs and Everton may be sniffing from a distance for a while, savouring that aroma of "potential" CL football!!

There are definitely a thousand angles to see things from, but I don't see which bit of it was actually incorrect.

I agree they've added to the mix, and I even think La Liga would only benefit from a couple of sugar daddies coming in to some of the second tier clubs (though that's very unlikely to happen before the revenues are shared differently), but I fail to see -if that is indeed what you were hinting at- how the sugar ddadies have helped Everton and Spurs gain CL football.

I didn't I said they were getting a sniff, they are doing it off their own backs, the point is before they weren't. Not for a long time.

Of course Spurs and Everton have both benefitted in the past from being cash rich enough to outspend others, they are exactly small clubs and other different circumstances they may have been picked to benefit from a wealthy investor recently but they haven't..
