There was a lot of celebrating from the empty suits in charge of running the Premier League on Friday, after news broke that they had successfully negotiated a new three billion TV rights deal.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore was quickly on Radio 4 crowing about how it proved that England had the 'best' football league in the world.

And there is little doubt that the English Premier League has the best footballing talent, but the best league in the world? For many supporters it falls very short of what would be considered the best.

It is also fair to say the money, that has been generated from the re-branding of the English Football’s top division back in 1992, has enabled the clubs to compete in signing the top players, but to say the Premier League is the most competitive league is wrong.

Club’s like Wigan, Swansea, and Fulham are just there to survive. It is no longer a league where a good team spirit and work ethos could see an underdog triumph like Nottingham Forest and Derby County did under Brian Clough in the 1970s.

Without even a ball being kicked I can accurately predict Manchester United and Manchester City will be the only sides battling it out for next season’s title. The three billion which is coming into the Premier League won’t help this predictability. This is because the ‘bigger’ clubs, because of their ‘bigger’ appeal, get a bigger share of the money. The rich clubs will get richer and the poor clubs will get poorer. It’s capitalism at its worse.

And that is just one downside to the billions of pounds, which has been pumped into the Premier League through TV right deals.

I could also rant about how it has brought the worst of human kind into the sport. Fans struggle to relate to the overpaid players, whose egos have grown about as big as their agent’s back balance.

I could also point out that the money hasn’t helped clubs become more sustainable, but I want to concentrate on the ‘benefits’ the money has had on the everyday working class fan. You would have thought the £3 billion coming into the game, would mean cheaper tickets.

However, in these times of austerity clubs like Manchester United could still fill Old Trafford twice over, with many corporate fans from around the world. The globalisation of English football has resulted in this country’s working class fan being priced out of watching his team.

And to add insult that fan has to pay, what will probably now be an even bigger subscription to Sky or BT, to watch the games live. Even in 3D it doesn’t live up to going into the ground itself.

However, the Premier League and its clubs have always cared much more about money than looking after its fans.

Let’s not forget if the Premier League had its way a couple of years back, Richard Scudamore would have introduced 39th game to the football season. This would have been played, away from English fans, in a different country. It was a proposal only the Aston Villa chairman Randy Lerner and his Wigan counterpart Dave Whelan spoke out against.

The other clubs, just like the Premier League, forgot about the fans who had supported them when times were hard and were ready to sell them down the river. This three billion pound deal may be something for the Premier League to celebrate, but ordinary supporters should be very worried.
