And so it ends. It seems that each season becomes more eventful than the last and 2010-11 has been no exception. We can now look forward to a summer of transfer rumour madness. Oh joy.
Truthfully though, whilst I think that the lucrative business of buying players is well beyond farcical, I, like the rest of you, find it perversely entertaining. Possibly because these Sheiks and Oligarchs may as well be chucking around Monopoly money in their game of 'I own a football club, because I can'.
How anyone (and I include the players and agents when I say this) can see any sustainable good in this, really baffles me. They probably don't give a monkey's about sustainable good though, so therein lies the answer.
I expect that if not this season, then next, we'll see clubs purchasing quality players, simply to prevent other clubs from doing so. Worrying. The FA is trying to bring in legislation capping wages in the Premiership. Too little too late perhaps? The cynic in me expects that yes, just like bankers and their bonuses, not much will really change. Let's see what Man City Allstars look like in 12 weeks, eh?
