While I agree with Kevin on points 1 and 2, I have to disagree with point 3. The quality of football is not determined by just the individual skill of players, the first barometer is precisely the ability to translate teamwork and tenacity combined with talent into results. As United’s win over a more talented Barcelona side in last season’s semi-final showed in no uncertain terms. I think non-English clubs will once again find it hard to cope with the torrid pace and high tempo of the English game. While Dortmund and Schalke, for instance, provided a highly entertaining Ruhr derby and some spectacular goals, I can’t help feeling both United and L’pool would have torn apart either of them in a European clash. But no one can write off either Bayern or the Spanish and Italian quartets and it is by no means certain English clubs will dominate this season.

All this talk concerning the standard of play or improvement to one’s squad and not one discussian concerning the “fit and proper person” test being applied to the ownership of these teams is missing the point.Given that Roman Abramovich’s origins of wealth have been the subject of numerous lawsuits and investigations citing corruption and fraud as his principal methods of doing business, one would think that the EPL would not want these questionable resources being laundered through their league. More importantly, when you consider that Abramovich is considered Putin’s bagman, one also must question whether Abramovich is actually an instrument of Putin’s neo-authoritarian policies. Given that Abramovich has already admitted to corruption by way of payoffs and protection money, the EPL must realize that Abramovich will never be prosecuted by the government that he has paid off , and must as a result consider applying the “fit and proper” test to the origins of Abramovich’s wealth as that will be the easiest way to prove that he is neither fit nor proper!
