For the neutral fan who likes watching any kind of match on TV it is great news as the 'Top 4' is becoming a 'Top 5' now and that means one of them won't quailfy for the riches of the Champions League and it only takes a Villa or a Spurs to step up and we have a 'Top 6' and the league even more open.
Will Abramovich be so happy if Chelsea only qualify for the UEFA cup or will Liverpools Yanks be able to afford not qualifying for the Champions League ?
Interesting times ahead in the Premiership now.
