Anything that brings in as much $$$$ as football does is bound to have its share of corruption.
Yes Kuyt, but is there not a difference between the occasional low level corruption that I think always went on, and the near institutionalized version that emerges when mafia types take over our top clubs and start wrecking havoc with players wages, transfer fees, manager buyouts, etc? This distorts and corrupts the market, and puts the other clubs at a disadvantage. In addition this attracts all those mercenary type players, managers and coaching staff into the PL. Over time all this corrupt money and practices will be very damaging to the game in my opinion, not to mention the off-puting image these gangsters give to football.
for some reason i have a vivid image of that in my head!
