I know what you mean about it being more than Ashley. The recent takeovers of most of the top two divisions by foreign investors makes me feel very disillusioned about English football. Not every club can be successful and when a lot of these Chinese (for example) conglomerates get bored of pumping money into Wolves and West Brom for little reward, I wonder whether some of these clubs will just be left to rot.
Foreign players is one thing but once you've got foreign players, managers, owners, in what way does the club represent Wolverhampton or West Bromwich anymore?
