The EPL continues to die.

A businessman
And I do not think Pompey fans care as they were close to being without the proverbial paddle

More than half your league is now foreign-owned. They have no interest in the EPL other than to make money. English football has lost its soul and the majority of fans don't care as long as they get loads of money in and get a few star players.
Just look what happened your best team tonight - they were shown up by a true footballing team, who care less about money.
Forza football.
Does it matter if some Saudi buys Portsmouth? Man City are the richest team in the world but nobody wants to play for them. What hope have Portsmouth got?

But pompey were always in the hands of a foreigner. First Milan Manderich who helped us into the prem. Then Guydamark, who helped turn us into a FA Cup winner. So it hasn't been all bad.

I dont care if he comes from mars.
i have been watching Pompey (my local team) since 1968 and only last year have we had any success in the top flight since 49/50 so i say if this helps get us a new ground a few class players and lets me laugh even more at scumhampton in the lower league  , i say roll on next season and play up pompey.

The EPL is the best in the world and thats down to the foreign influx we could not have made it what is is on our own.
But the fact these foreign owners care little about football and only about money has taken alot of the passion out.
The whole Man City saga is a joke they came in bought Robinho who didnt know who he signed for and then came out and said we are going to buy him and him and him and they all turned City town.
Like RMFC said if Man City can't get the players what hope has Portsmouth got? We need some more home grown owners and i think a wage cap and transfer cap accross world football could influence that.
I can also see Arsenal being taken over very shortly seeing how the shares are getting bought out. But at least they are trying to keep the heart of the club English even though the squad it's self isnt.

So you put the EPL behind Spanish, Italian AND German football?
You prefer a slow paced Italian game to a Fast paced English match? Each to their own...

Compared to the EPL and La Liga the italian league isn't played at a faster pace.
