The Prem and Championship is now dominated by money clubs.  The rewards for promotion to the Prem encourage some clubs to take the risk of over-spending. It is a fine line between success and a club collapsing. Some Championship clubs have crossed the line.

Well, I was reading the sport pages this morning and these names came up -

Lindelof -£35m
Lukaku - £100m
Bakayoko - £35m
Beloti -£70m
Morata -£60m

In spite of following football for 60 years I am afraid I have absolutely no idea who 4 of these 5 are or why they are likely to come into the PL and make so much money for agents. I have seen Lukaku on the box but although he got 20+ goals for Everton they were nearly all at home and he didn't cut it with Chelsea so ... £100m??

The more I see of this, the less likely I am to watch the PL especially with Lineker on MOTD.

As some others on here have said, PL football is already part of the global stage (not dissimilar to the globalisation of other international business and capital) with a worldwide audience of subscribers. In that sense it is not out of kilter with UEFA club competitions and World Cups for international teams. International talent in any sphere is mobile throughout the globe (apart from North Korea) and this is unlikely to change any time soon. Despite living close to north London, I wouldn't even consider watching Arsenal or Tottenham unless televised. I have been a Town supporter all my life, even though I had a 'dalliance' with both Manchester clubs in the late 60's when I was at University there. Thus, I've just sent off my cheque to renew my season ticket at BP and will be making the daunting 310 mile round trip to Cleethorpes a few times next season, though certainly not for every match.
