Billionaire Roman deserves credit, says Megson
PILLORIED for using his roubles to "buy" two Premiership titles and sending football's finances out of kilter, Roman Abramovich is regarded as little more than a here-today-gone-tomorrow foreign interloper on the Premiership scene.
Outside his particular corner of West London, the mega-wealthy Russian has been vilified by many as a scourge on the game.
Even now, there are reports that he's ready to splash another £80million this summer.
But Gary Megson believes the Tsar of Chelsea deserves credit for raising the bar, not just at Premiership level but throughout Europe.
He believes even the giants of Spain and Italy have profited from his input with Real Madrid, Barcelona and the Milan clubs now striving to keep up with England's finest.
"Abramovich has come in with his multi-millions and what he's done is raise the level for everybody," Megson said. "Not just the ones that they are competing with, but he's raised the level for Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Ajax.
"And in the domestic leagues it's raised the level for everybody else."
Playing at Stamford Bridge on "Super Sunday," Wanderers could influence the destination of the Premier League title with Chelsea locked in a dramatic last-day duel with Manchester United.
The odds are on Sir Alex Ferguson's Reds winning at Wigan and leaving Chelsea in runners-up spot for the second successive season. But the fact that they have run their rivals so close again after Jose Mourinho's departure in September, is a testimony to the job Avram Grant has done, even though then Israeli's future is by no means secure.
Megson, however, is not surprised to see Chelsea giving United such a good run for their money.
"Not when they've got that quality," he said. "They've got some of the best players in the world down there."
Barring a disaster of biblical proportions, Megson will be competing again next season in what he regards as the best league in the world. And there is no disgusing the pride he has in the English Premier League, despite the detractors who claim the dominance of the so-called "Big Four" have made it all-too predictable.
Kevin Keegan caused a stir on Monday after Chelsea ensured the title race would go to the wire with a 2-0 win at St James' Park.
He meant to issue a reality check to Newcastle supporters running away with the idea that they might be challenging for honours next season and give a wake-up call to the club's billionaire owner Mike Ashley by claiming the Magpies were "a million miles away" from, the top four. But, while making his financial point, he also said the Premiership had become boring, which caused a few eyebrows to be raised.
Megson, for one, has not found it boring, highlighting the fact that Wanderers are going into their last match still not mathematically safe and that Chelsea could pip United for the title.
"I can't remember a finish where you've got one game to go and it's not been decided who wins it (the title) and there are still two of the relegation spots to be decided," he added.
"I don't really think Kevin would have meant it was boring in that context.
"I think he would have said that you can say who is going to win it, but if you look at every league in Europe it's nearly the same.
"I wouldn't be too far off if I tried now to predict who woud win the Eredivisie in Holland next year, who would be top of the Spanish League, and who will be top of the Itailan league, because that is the way that it is going.
"But it's certainly not boring."

Now the facts have not changed from last Saturday night.We, Fulham, Blues and Reading are in the same situation going into the game on Sunday. Why then do this dismal paper and our dismal manager start to talk up the catastrophe of biblical proportions from Wednesday onwards?

Yes, if Roman gave a million to each league team then i'd agree he has been a great help to football,
Ask a Rotherham fan and a Luton fan if Romans been good for football imsure they'd agree as the administrators take a hold of their clubs the rich get richer the poor get poorer.

To imply that Abramovich is a scourge is a [bold]HUGE[/bold] understatement.
Keegan was spot on!
It is boring when you know before the season starts that the title has been won by one of four clubs.
Year in, year out with no end in sight.
In fact I will bet that this will continue for the next decade with only two possible ways out.
1. Another multi-billionaire comes in to rival the money spent by the big four.
2. We find parody by means of a salary cap.
Alright Sir Alex, here you, go . . . 20 mil quid. same as Bolton same as Wigan, and that's it for your entire team.
Sorry Mr. Wenger, Mr. Grant . . . yes, you too Rafa. That's all you get. Deal with it!
Let's see how good a coach you really are when you're put on a level playing field.
End of Rant!

the only problem with a transfer cap is that the richer clubs would just screw us on wages and even with one on wages they would just go to italy or spain so regardless of what they do we cant win

This would have to be world-wide mandate and that is where the real problem lies. I'm not saying it's impossible but there would be a lot of work to do to make it happen. Otherwise we stay on the road we're on.

Here (seeing as BN takes so long to catch up). This is one article but u read another about it and it has different slant on it. Wonder what slant BN will put on it!
[italic]FERGIE QUESTIONS BOLTON`S ATTITUDE
Sir Alex Ferguson has accused the Bolton players of 'partying' after effectively securing their Premiership survival last week and compared their attitude to that of Wigan, United's opponents this weekend.
If Bolton were to win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, Manchester United would be Premier League champions, no matter what the outcome of their trip to Wigan.
Yet Ferguson has been staggered at talk of a party atmosphere developing at Bolton this week after the Trotters secured Premier League survival by beating Sunderland.
"Nobody is saying anything about Bolton," said Ferguson in his Friday press conference.
"People have questioned Wigan's integrity but when you look at it, the different attitudes are quite interesting.
"The Wigan players are coming out and saying 'we want to beat Manchester United'. That is fine, we are a big club. And then you hear about Bolton players out partying all week. That difference in attitudes amazes me.
"But both teams are safe, relaxed and confident. Yet one can celebrate and the other is all keyed up to play against Manchester United."
However, Ferguson then changed tact to declare that he was nonetheless confident that Bolton would give Chelsea a stern test.
"The only thing that gives me confidence about Bolton is the manager and assistant manager.
"I worked with Archie Knox for many years at Aberdeen and United.
"I wish he was playing because he will not enjoy having his players out celebrating and neither will Gary Megson.
"It is an important game. I am confident in these two guys taking their team to Chelsea."[/italic]

Fergie is a sap who has started to believe his own press.
Only complains about officiating when results don't go his way.
Looks for excuses under any rock rather than blame himself for not having his team prepared.
Get off the pot and get your own house in order.
We'll give Chelski a run for the money

if theres going to be a takeover it will happen after the last games of the season as it isn't the right time to disrupt a club plus we aren't guarenteed premiership next season so no one wud buy us for £35 mil when we cud go down to championship although its looking very unlikely we will (touch wood)

ferguson probably lost the title when he lost to us and not taking us seriously, he was really bitter, accusing us of cheating and dirty play, well for the record we have had nobody sent off and to my knowledge we havent headbutted any of our opponents, staying up and depriving them of the title by beating them back then would make the season slightly more palatable, must be gut wrenching fergie to let megson get one over on you!

Should be awesome on Sunday, carnival atmsosphere from the whites fans, anyone know how many coaches are going??
I know a lot of people are dressing up hehe, ill be supplying the beach balls!!!

Also just checked, every single premiership club playing away this weekend has sold there full allocation, including teams that never sell out, Blackburn, Fulham, Bolton lol. Villa's taking 3000 to West Ham so the roads into Manchester might get busy, but it wernt to bad against Spurs apart from when that coach crashed (Getting out was a nightmare though)
Anyone wearing Campo wigs for his last game, ill find mine tomorrow me thinks!!
Anyone heard anything on our new kit, rumours on bbc of an adidas kit similar to derbys, white but will navy blue and "trotters" inscribed on back and sponsored by "Boddingtons", might be just tripe though???
