Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

..

I’m not absolving anyone. I’m pointing out this pyramid of destruction and the EPL is on top of it. The league destroyed smaller clubs in England and then made other leagues minor.

I assume if you ever come to England you'll be getting down to a Leyton Orient game to support the lower leagues rather than going to an Arsenal game?

No I won’t, thanks for the Barclaycard English Premier League, shown by News Corp Sky Sports.

Arsenal fans better hope he doesn’t acquire a taste for trophies

Until La Liga have flatter distribution of revenues instead of basically letting Madrid/Barca set all the rules, they can’t claim moral superiority over EPL.

A lot of people say EPL “destroyed” a lot of smaller English clubs but look at how many English clubs raised their profile during the EPL era. Leicester, Crystal Palace, Bournmouth/Brighton/Burnley are well known to global football fans. Revenue sharing, parachute payments, etc bring a lot money to smaller clubs.

Idk why Chelsea didnt just pony up the additional €50M and get Haaland. He’s 8 yrs younger than Lukaku and has all the attributes to succeed in the Prem. All ready proven in UCL

SN: LC is a very well run club at the moment. Top class recruitment as well.

Is there no end to the fraudulent behaviours of this bald, bald man?

I'd be very worried as a Manchester City fan in all honesty.

Not the PL fault that barring Germany the rest of the league's administrators failed to promote and brand their leagues properly and have been subpar with what theyve done to improve their product off the pitch. Hundreds of millions TV deals signed for the league and only 4-5 teams get the majority of the money and this went on for well of a decade.

Foreign players being that they can play in front of packed stadiums instead half empty grounds with only the Ultras making the noise. Season tickets are a lot more cheaper in Spain and Italy than in England. In some cases you could buy both a La Liga and Serie A together and it would be still cheaper than a single PL season ticket. But yet the crowds don't care unless it's a big games/team in town.

Serie A and La Liga are closer to the Championship than they are to the PL and Bundesliga in average attendance. I guess the Italian and Spanish fans would rather stay in and watched the uncultured kick and rush PL

It's fine to blame the PL for the ills it's done towards the English game. But to put the blame on them for other people's ineptitude in other countries when there are plenty of valid reasons for their failures that have nothing to do with the PL.

The same reason why Lukaku is now represented by someone else.

They, and City have obviously been told it's a non-starter.

PSG and Juve only real competition as Waiter has great relationship with those 2 clubs. Outside bet is Bayern just because it's a Waiter thing to do especially as they love a release clause.
