After what seems to have been the most surreal 72 hours, Football has ever known, it ends with the completion of one of the most contentious transfers in recent times and the most unlikeliest.
The sudden sale of Manchester City to the Abu Dhabi United Group for a reputed £200million has triggered the craziest sequence of events which in the end saw over £70million change hands between four clubs, and has changed the order of European Football, something that had been threatening to happen for the last five years or so.
The way things are going, within a few years you could see all the clubs in the Premier League being owned by multi-billionaires. Being a millionaire is no longer enough. To be able to compete you need a lot more than a few million in your Jersey or Cayman Islands bank account.
Add into this the ever-continuing circus at St James' Park and Upton Park with the ever revolving doors continuing to seem to have managers coming and going on what seems to be a daily basis at those two great institutions, as well as the ridiculous shenanigans at L4, you do have to wonder where English Football is going to end up eventually.
