GOING BELLY UP

THERE'S far too much wealth in English football right now - and it's a problem that, like Viktor Gyokeres, is a lot worse than it looks from afar.

You see, Sunderland are reportedly lining up an £80m move for Fermin Lopez (inset), one of Barcelona's best players this season. Good on 'em. Fair play. Respect the ambition.

But the idea that a newly-promoted club can stroll in and pinch a superstar from one of the world's biggest sides is all wrong.

We're going to kill overseas leagues the way the Glazers have killed Man United, with neglect, greed and a level of incompetence that makes Tim Sherwood's managerial career look respectable.
