Football has lost its way, how such a gap has appeared between the first and second tier is absolutely bonkers and dare I say dangerous for all clubs by undermining competition throughout football.

Clubs like Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea occasionally struggled or were relegated giving other clubs a chance of success.
However, in recent years the thrill has gone with the Premier League and the massive money involved with the big clubs, you generally know who will be in the top six as each season progresses (with the recent exception of Leicester who had done remarkable as a club)
If Kane goes to Man City this summer, the Premiership is already over in my eyes as they would have bought the title!
