So Wigan svengali Dave Whelan thinks that clubs should start operating on salary caps? It sounds a bit like the kettle calling the pot black. I mean, Wigan didn’t climb three divisions on blood, sweat and tears alone. It took more JJB sales of Reebok Classics and Man U shirts than you or I could poke a stick at to give them the cash they needed. But despite this, I grudgingly have to admit that he has a point.

The Premiership is no longer an open contest. It’s not even a three horse race anymore. With seven wins and seven clean sheets can anyone seriously envisage the Championship going to anyone else but Chelsea this season? Or any season soon for that matter? The league has become a series of mini-competitions rolled into one. It’s fast becoming not even a sport as the most important thing a club operates for involves marketing and television as opposed to goals and attendances.
 
With the introduction of the Russian revolution at Chelski, and clubs handing average players astronomical weekly wages that the working masses would take years to earn, it should be no surprise that fans are starting to say enough is enough. We saw a revolt at Manchester United last season when the Glaziers took control and we’re slowly starting to see it at grounds around the country. A revolution is underway and it’s needed or the Premiership bubble will burst and all the good work that’s been put in to make the league the phenomenon it is will come undone. The time has come. Let’s make the clubs cap these overrated prima-donna’s wages, lower ticket prices, increase funding to the game’s grass-roots and take the battle out of the boardrooms and back onto the pitch.
