Just to play Devil's Advocate...
The Premier League is a business and as such will look after their own interests first and foremost. You wouldn't expect Asda to bail out your local corner shop, no they would watch it go under and take over the empty building. And I know football and supermarkets are very different things, although they are all businesses.
Yes the Premier League has got too big and is strangling football below them. However we the people are just as much to blame. Paying through the nose to watch them on the TV, buying the kits and god knows what else.
Why do people travel miles to watch a club like Liverpool or Man City, when they will have a club much more local to them? If everyone supported their local side everything would balance off and teams would level up accordingly.
So whilst yes the Premier League has a number of questions to answer so do the footballing fans of this country and around the world.
