I’m just amazed how they always pick the perfect Boehly photo for any topic.
I love how local and lower level football really does answer nearly all of everyone's concerns but they'd rather pretend the Prem was the only football league on Earth and they're forced to put up with it. Absolutely self-inflicted.
The thing is the drop in talent and quality is significant. People want to watch the best players and teams playing at an elite level
Eh, high quality football is also “””boring””” and data driven. So many cool football moves are as good as outlawed. You don’t need to look further than classic nr. 10 being a dying breed, replaced by players best described as ‘pressing machines’.
Much bigger problem/reason is that lower leagues aren’t media talking points(let’s face it, sports are men’s reality TV shows), finding a broadcast is hard, etc. It’s just much harder to get into if you aren’t local.
I just want to see fun competition. Eredivisie is high enough a level for me.
I do recognize I'm in the minority, though.
The Championship is a superb league. The quality might not be as good in terms of talent compared to the PL, but it is far more entertaining.
Chelsea are the poster boys for where Chelsea have gone wrong
I’m just amazed how they always pick the perfect Boehly photo for any topic.
Can't argue with that
Not good for the sport but very good for red bull and the clubs they own. That’s not ironic.
This is true. What my point was no loan has ever been taken to pay wages. As far as I am aware. I would be open to stand corrected with valid sources though.
Neither me or the person I responded to mentioned loans to pay wages. Did you mean to respond to someone else?
Ohh yeah, sorry. I am at work and saw wages pop up in some comments, and replied as per that. But I do agree, loans are taken to pay for transfer fees. It's standard for every major transfer irrespective of the club.
No worries
Until they disappear because of shitty owners
Can't argue with that
Yeah they just did that slightly earlier than other clubs, earned lots of trophies and international fans and now you cannot criticize the clubs because of their "prestige"
Brits invent football and have been whining about it ever since.
This is the definitive slogan of /r/soccer
