It has now dawned on the football world that Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in order to ensure that he would never "disappear." Millions can't be turned into billions in a short period of time. In any case, football squandered the money and is now in deep trouble.

We need British businessmen and women like Nick Candy and other investors to buy back football clubs, because what's happening now, with new foreign money, is that a foreign owner is brought in and the new foreign money is moving out.

British managers, in my opinion, are on par with international candidates when it comes to managerial abilities, but because the clubs are foreign-owned, foreign directors of football are hired, who then hire foreign coaches. As an example, if Nick Candy decides to buy Chelsea, I think he'll be more concerned about English infrastructure.

Look at Chelsea now — they've added Bruce Buck to their roster. Bruce Buck is a mystery. They bring him out and have him stand as the teams arrive, and he's almost like a cardboard cutout.

Taking Everton as an example, the owner is to blame for the club's current plight. Marcel Brands, a well-respected footballer, took the responsibility for Everton's terrible purchases, but they were the owner's signings who listened to a Brazilian agency and the club began buying players he recommended and everyone in football knew it..

When it comes to director-level Brazilian connections, something similar happened at Arsenal. When are these clubs going to realize their mistake? In truth, the only people who are actually concerned about their clubs are the fans themselves!

To return to Chelsea and any prospective transfer transaction they may be considering, Declan Rice seemed to have been slightly duped at this point. The fact that he was planning to return to Chelsea was the worst kept secret in the industry. However, Chelsea is not in the same position as it was previously. Rice still has a significant amount of time left on his contract, which is two years with an option for a further year, so he is in a difficult position right now.

Manchester City do not require him because they are well served in that position, at least for another season. Is Manchester United willing to take on that challenge? – In light of Paul Pogba's departure for free, will they end up paying West Ham £80 million for Rice on a good day? – Wouldn't that be a fantastic piece of business for the Glazers to do?

I understand that Rice is valued at well over £150 million, but there is a difference between a valuation and what the market is ready to pay. There is still a good chance that a club will have to pay a lot of money for things like wages. Football's financial situation has not returned to its previous level.

If a club is willing to pay that much for a player and is willing to pay him £150,000-per-week, or even more, and they only have him for a couple of months before the players depart for the World Cup in Qatar in November, the club could end up paying a player's wage for eight weeks while not even having the player.

I'm curious if or not the conventional marquee signings that we see during the summer window will actually take place during the January window rather than the summer one.

The booing of Harry Maguire by England fans at Wembley this week was a major topic of conversation this week.

Ultimately, I believe that the fans booed him because they understand that, when you are playing poorly, you shouldn't be representing England, and that simply playing for Manchester United should not automatically entitle you to a cap.

Maguire has been a disappointment throughout the season. When I first heard about Harry Maguire, I assumed he had to play well for his club before he could be called up to the England national team, but it appears that isn't the case.
What is it about him that makes him feel like he should be booed? He never seems to be in it for the long haul. – Well, I honestly believe that England fans are fed up with the fact that average players continue to hold their positions in the national squad.
