English Premier League is perhaps the most popular soccer leagues in the world, there is no doubt about it, but there is one down side of its popularity which is costing English soccer as a whole. Actually, league clubs are more business houses than sports groups, they are more concerned about improving there balance sheets rather improving level of English soccer. Many experts have long been saying there is something seriously wrong with English soccer and if a prompt action is not taken at this time, there would be no English soccer in top soccer nations.

Notably, a shocking revelation has been issued by football statistician: Opta, who says participation of English players in domestic league is lowest among all popular leagues in the world.

Liverpool heads for League title this year?
English premier league is possibly the most exaggerated soccer league in the world where winners keep praising their performance after every win while losers blame either referees or injuries for not winning a game. If we look at the current season, we’ve one thing sure, i.e., both defending champion and runner up are nowhere close to the top rakings in the leaderboard which means new entrants are comfortable there, including Arsenal and Liverpool. Liverpool is worth mentionable among two, coz this team has been the ruling team in the late nineties but struggled to win back their lost glory since. This year, they can revive their dream and take home the league title after more than a decade thanks to their brilliant start and Suarez who just came back after a ten matches’ suspension and looks to be in a great form - maybe his unwanted rest of more than a month helped him a lot!

Liverpool’s former Scottish manager Kenny Dalglish is back to the club after a gap of 16 months.

But, this is not always correct for a legendary soccer manager to come back in a hurry without offering much time to new manager to answer his critics. This is something that is being happened with League title defender Manchester United where newly appointed manager looks unable to revive his team’s debacle start this year. Perhaps, his failures started right from the moment he placed bids for players during the last transfer window, but unfortunately for him, he could not be successful on most of the occasions, which was then linked with his incompetence to negotiate. Now, he is saying they lack world class players while other soccer pundits say United needs a desperate mix of both new and legendry players.
