Money, money, money

I must say that today it is official, all it takes to win a title is money.
I mean if you read all the news reports, blogs and other comments out there, apparently Manchester City will now be a huge contender for the title, or rather any title. How dissapointing is that? I know it takes money to build a team, but do we have to be so blatant about it? At least the news casters weren't saying ManU or Chelsea will win because someone has a big wad of cash, but to actually come out and state that a team will now be in contention because of a sugar daddy is disheartening.
Not that I begrudge Man City fans of anything, if it came down to Arsenal or you Gunners all the way, but the only reason they are being considered is becasue of thier new owners. I mean with about 250 Billion dollars in personal assests, sure you can have anything you want. But if that's all it's come to, why bother doing it for the pure passion of it?
That's what the problem is. I'm sure Frank Lampard, Rhobinio or Carlos Tevez all love to play football, but is there any real passion when they look at the team they are playing with and know they are going to win? That they will beat their opponents not on skill or luck, but because they have the bigger pay checque? What is going to happen to the teams like Sunderland, Derby or Wigan? Will we need a Premier League made up of 19 teams, or should we just have a playoff of 4 and be done with it?
I love football, I will not stop loving it or watching it, I just feel a little less now that it is truly apparent that all you need is money, money, money.
