Premier League alone cannot solve problems in grassroots football'
-The argument over whether enough of the Premier League’s riches cascade down to the rest of the game is as old as the breakaway division itself. Twenty-three years on from its creation, however, the contrast between the game as it is played at the very top and the grassroots that nourish it below is more stark than ever.
The Premier League has become a global entertainment brand capable of bringing in more than £8bn over three years in broadcasting income. Meanwhile, grassroots facilities are under greater pressure than ever from council cuts and the wider societal problems surrounding inactivity and getting children to play sport are becoming more entrenched.

In recent years the Premier League has brought forth a sometimes bewildering array of schemes to show that it is doing its bit, showcasing them in draughty school halls and inner-city estates.
Premier League 4 Sport uses a combination of Premier League and Sport England cash to bring 12 sports such as tennis and badminton to schoolchildren, using the all-pervasive power of top-flight football clubs as a hook. Through it, £7.8m is invested over three years.

Chelse's boss Jose Murinho interview today:
-In today interview Jose Murinho have says that 5 teams are on fight for the tittle.
The special one says also Arsenal this mercato have sign good player that could help Arsenal to win the title .
-José Mourinho has begun the mind games before the Premier League season by taking aim at Manuel Pellegrini and Arsène Wenger. The Chelsea manager questioned why his Manchester City counterpart criticised him for being self-obsessed rather than enjoying his holidays and said anyone who thinks Arsenal are not among the big spenders should “get a calculator”.
Mourinho and Wenger face each other in the Community Shield on Sunday and the Chelsea manager firmly believes Wenger’s side will be strong challengers for the league title. He was at pains to point out that Wenger has spent large sums to reach this point, including not far short of £100m on Mesut Özil, Alexis Sánchez, Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers since 2013.
Wenger has signed only the goalkeeper Petr Cech, an £11m buy from Chelsea, this summer but Mourinho said: “If you add up the amounts clubs have spent in the last three or four years I think maybe you will find a surprise. If you put Özil plus Alexis Sánchez, plus Chambers, plus Debuchy, you will find a surprise. It’s a fantastic squad with good players, fantastic goalkeeper, they are more than ready to be a title contenders. Get a calculator. That is the easiest thing, it leaves no space for speculation. If you want to be honest, objective and pragmatic it is the easiest job for a manager to do.
