I tend to agree with Dan. The Premier League is rapidly becoming focussed on egos and money, making money. The football is becoming secondary. Madness and greed is becoming primary.
Does anyone outside the media really care about all these over-hyped comings and goings? Sky Sports News on Monday was using headlines and delivery I would expect to see if World War III was about to break out.
If I get a choice where I drink, the Championship games are usually better to watch.
In a few years the big clubs will get their wishes, with a breakaway European League structured for TV. Each club will have its own TV channel, to which mugs fans will have to subscribe to watch their team play in empty stadia at 10pm to suit the schedules. The game will be played in 4 quarters to allow for additional TV advertising.
Meanwhile those who play the game for fun will struggle with badly maintained pitches and sub-standard changing rooms. None of the money will filter down and the game will become an audio-visual spectacle for couch potatoes.

So the merry-go-round continues. New managers being lined up.
Watch the news for the next episode of statements on the lines of
"This is a big club and deserves success. I am convinced I can work with the board and the squad of players to bring this about. I have every respect for the club and its supporters. They have a fine tradition that needs trophies."
Cue shot of smiling new manager shaking hands with obscure tycoon/magnate/businessman/sheik or Mike Ashley, who is clearly none of these.
Unsaid "Thank for for giving me a £1.5 million contract. I will do what I can with the rubbish Paraguayans, Serbs and assorted international rejects I have inherited. Meanwhile you can ditch the reserves and the U-19's as none of them has a hope in hell of ever getting in the first team.
In the January transfer window I will add to the squad with a further collection of nonentities that will have the fans screaming 'who'? I will sell our moody centre forward who, despite being an a******, is the fans favourite because he can actually get the ball into that rectangular structure at the end of the pitch. I will make sure he is sold to our closest rivals, for whom he will score shedloads. This is sound business sense as we can use the money to sign a reserve player from Montpellier I have been told about.
At the end of the season, we will have been lucky to avoid relegation and certainly won't qualify for Europe. You can then sack me and I leave, laughing all the way to the bank. I can then get to to talk a load of old rubbish on Sky or Setanta, until some other club is mad enough to employ me.
I promise to use a minimum of three cliches in each TV or newspaper interview. I will blame defeat on everything and everyone, bar myself. I will excuse the inability of my players to pass to someone wearing the same coloured shirt.
It is not my fault that we have no Brazilians in the team.
It is not my fault that no two players speak or understand each other's language and could not communicate in that defensive mix-up for the third goal.
It is not my fault that the away game to Grimsby in the FA Cup turned out to be such a disaster.
The supporters can say what they like. Neither I nor the board care. This is the one thing on which we agree. So long as they troop along every two weeks and shell out their hard earned cash, I don't give a ****. Anyway it's the TV money that pays the wages, so it will be less trouble if only 10,000 turn up."
Anyway the washing machine has now finished its cycle (this is now me talking as football managers don't do menial) so I can go off to finish domestic tasks.
Have a nice day.
