Premier league football has become increasingly complex, over the last few years, the money of wealthy new owners being injected into the game has not as you would have expected, swung the balance of power from those that haven't to those that do.
The those that do are owned by massively wealthy businessmen who have been successful in their own businesses, these people buy into football for reasons not understood by the layman, why does a businessman who has made absolute fortunes doing what his good at, take control of something they know nothing about.
Some may say they do it for the challenge if that's the case, why buy a club in the premiership surely buying a club in a lower league and moving up by promotion would be achieving more, than buying a club on the edge. other people say they just want a plaything something to dabble with like A footballer that buys expensive sports cars. It may be that they are actually football fans and have always wanted to be involved but have never had the time for such pastimes. Surely they have not bought to make money because most club are struggling to break even.
Many clubs with new owners, race to change the players they have, and the outgoing players worth is drastically reduced but the incoming players worth increases a strange turn of events, they pay the incoming players higher salaries and give them superstar status before they prove themselves, most of these clubs buy more players than they can play in one game, so superstar status players sitting on the bench annoyed because they believe they are superstars.
The strange fact for all clubs with new wealthy owners, the high profile manager is not kept very long,basically as long as it takes to recruit the new players and then he's moved on and that is the part that managers like because it comes with a golden handshake, and even stranger this becomes a ritual usually every year.
These teams do in all honesty move up the league table over a period of a couple of years, but in all honesty they may have done that normally.Some old established clubs with old footballing history and run on a budget surprisingly manage to hold their position against the new age methods but time will tell, will budget clubs fall away, will wealthy owners dabble waver and make them move on, who knows the only thing which is true in this intriguing scenario, is footballs a strange game.
