Rich getting richer, Poor getting poorer

You must have heard a saying that goes : the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

It firstly applied to the business world, then society. And now, that phrase applies to the football world as well.

Take-overs are now becoming very popular in the world of football. Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd, and many more football clubs have very rich owners. Billionaires are now more interested at football take-overs.

The recent purchase of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) has made things worse in football. Billionaire owners are willing to spend millions and millions of Euros to buy players from around the world. The worse part is sometimes players don't worth that much.

The rich clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, can buy players they want. They are able to offer high prices for their targeted players. But with the addition of Manchester City, i'm assuming that things can become worse.

There will be inflation in football. Players will now demand more, in wages and transfer fees. The rich clubs can afford, but what about the poor clubs?

The market in football is now more expensive. The poor clubs cannot afford, because good players now are demanding higher. Even the clubs are demanding higher prices. With good players at the clubs, they have higher chances of winning competitions, getting advertisements, commercials, and many more. As a result, they are also getting money from there, which will make the club even richer.

So directly or indirectly, the rich are oppressing the poor. The rich clubs get richer, the poor clubs get poorer.

So, now football is also like that, what's next? I wonder....
