Within time, we are now likely to see more and more unknown billionaires arrive from around the world, and move-in on the Premiership's biggest clubs - just like that Venezuelan guy nearly did with Aston Villa.
Yes, the clubs have plenty of cash to spend new players and giving players the insane salaries they demand; but just being able to "give-in" to players demands like this is never gonna help Football in the long-run.
If we say yes now, we'll be saying 'yes' forever.
Beckham's on £120,00-a-week (basic) now, but we could one-day see the average player on a similar kind of fee - just because some "Johnny Foreigner" can afford it.
Players egoes will continue to grow, and this will all get completely out of hand, with player values closing-in on the £100m-mark.
And it'll hit the lower-league clubs with less-cash available hard, too. They'll see the Veron's and Michael Owen's of the future on £180k, and want nothing-less-than £40,000-a-week, basic - of which, the struggling Third Division clubs cannot afford, with out some "uber-rich" investor.
Anyone who believes Abramovich has come here for his love of Football is wrong. The Premiership is, quite possibly, the biggest and most-well-know domestic league in World Football. To him, this is just another way to make even more money. Once he's injected the Blues with several-hundreds of millions, he'll then flog the lot to some other unknown, millionaire-tycoon of whom we have never heard of - with a 200%-profit in the price-tag.
This could be the beginning of the end....
...I've gone too far, haven't I?
