If only this was true. But then you have been quoting that you think the best teams should be playing the best, and all the others are rubbish and shouldn't be allowed. Hmmm but you listed CR Vasco da Gama as your team too.
Edit: Though rumours has it Milan is about to bough out, leaving just 3.
I suppose it had nothing to do with the entire nation and football community raging about the stupid idea then.
Yes. The American venture capitalists are (rightly) catching a lot of hate here, but they do know how to make money. Real and Barcelona can't even do that - while the American owners may be colossally greedy, Real and Barca are desperate.
You mean the English Football Association, German Deutsche Fußball Bund and the football associations in Italy and Spain loudly disapproved of the idea and quickly kiboshed the Super League.
He needn't have bothered. I doubt there is anything he could say or do, now or ever, that can repair relations with the fans. Gillette and Hicks were incompetent. Henry is competent, but he has shown that all his talk of values and community were a smokescreen. His project has been successful from a financial and competitive standpoint, but in terms of fan relations and custodianship of the club he had mixed track record and this latest move is a titanic failure.
Absolutely. The team at the bottom of the current second division, given the right set of circumstances and investment could eventually be the CL winner. However unlikely and however long that would take it could happen. That’s the dream. The ESL took that dream away from us all.
I understand that. But I worry there is too much focus on this one red line and not how we got here. My point is that every breakaway creates a platform for another future breakaway that goes further. The Premier League might not technically be a closed shop, but it's less open than its predecessor. Wealth is too concentrated already, and it allows the wealthy few to dream of even bigger and more radical things.
