So there is talk of promotion and relegation in the premier league being scrapped due to pressure from foreign owners, and that with 4 more foreign owners this could be pushed through.
This would tear the backbone out of the English game, no team deserves protected premier league status, you are only as good as your last season.
The worry is, if there is all these owners (I can only see it increasing) how can it be stopped, and where will it end? what other fundamental rules will they change?
This I can imagine will lead to Franchising, if your from a city without a premier league team, and you want one, you have no choice but to simply buy one of the established prem teams and relocate.
