Foreign Owners Have Screwed Up The Prem!

It started with Abromovich's money no object style that inflated the transfer market and set the benchmark for astronomical wages in the Prem. He has made some crazy decisions such as sacking Mourinho and replacing him with Grant and paying £30m for Shevchenco. The Glaziers bought Man U by having to heavily mortgage the club..not good in the current credit crunch climate!Gillett & Hicks at Pool are at loggerheads and tried to bring in Klinnsman thus destabilizing the club. The Thai owner of Citeh came with baggage and is about to sack Sven despite him enjoying cult status at Citeh unlike Curbs at West Ham,talking of which Eggy tried to do a Peter Ridsdale and his legacy means we have the highest wages ratio to turnover in football. £52m being shelled out from an income of £57m. To add insult to injury £49m ( £23m recouped from sales )has been splashed out on pre-dominantly ageing injury prone players who have little or no sell on value, which has damaged our asset value and made a rod for our own backs hence forthcoming fire sale. What an all round disaster! Debate who's come off worse and why because of foreign ownership?

Personally I reckon Sky are the reason the Prem is so screwed up but if you want to say who's come off worse as foreign owners it's got to be Derby. You really need a reason?
