The F A Premiership was formed by the leading top clubs in the original
Football League Division One. Their decision to break away from the
football league was so that they would gain more control over T V rights
and the potential to bring further revenue into the club. Also the new
premiership would enable them to have more control generally over their
own destiny.
Since the FA Premiership began, the Premier League has been dominated
by three clubs - Manchester United, Arsenal and now also Chelsea. Manchester
whave definetly been the stronest with 8 titles in the first 11 years,
this also involved winning 3 F A Cup, culminating in the unique treble
of league, Cup and European Champions League title in 1999. Other teams
that have won the Premiership in between Manchester Uniteds success
have been Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Chelsea.
