Former England defender Gary Neville believes Roman Abramovich and other foreign owners have been good for the Premier League, saying the English top flight has become more competitive as a result.
Abramovich said that a sale was in the best interests of the reigning European champions, and Neville, speaking at the Financial Times Football Business Summit before news broke of Chelsea's sale, defended the metals magnate and overseas investment in the English game. "New money into Chelsea, Blackburn all those years ago when Jack Walker put money in, Leicester City winning the league, Manchester City and the Abu Dhabi wealth, I do believe we are a stronger league for it, more competitive and admired all around the world."
"I don't believe the hierarchy in elite football that exists is going to go away," he added."They want more money, they're in it to create more wealth for themselves.
There is a song about that ' it's all about the money' Jesse J I think it was. Than it's ok. No matter what. That is what counts. no principle, no mentality, but money and fame. Fuck of.
