That's more to do with the fact that football in general has lost its appeal.
It's embarrassing how the game has changed from a physical game played by men and supported by knowledgable, down to earth decent people. It's now a game played by soft cheats and officiated and run by corrupt clowns, and supported in the main by people that don't know the rules and have never played the game.
They introduced VAR to bring an end to bad decisions, and stamp out diving and cheating but somehow they've managed to make things worse.
There's so much money sloshing around in the top divisions that any average Premier League player could probably have bailed out Bury and Bolton. Mourinho has had about £100M in compensation handouts for failing miserably at Real Madrid, Man Utd & Chelsea (2nd time), and there's plenty more besides him.
The FA did nothing to stop the Bury & Bolton situations happening, they didn't step in when Oyston was ruining Blackpool, and other clubs too many to mention have sailed dangerously close to the wind. They'll not help Barnsley that's for sure.
Yet they're promoting women's football even though there's no market for it. 70,000+ at Wembley but most of them were schoolkids at £1 a ticket. There's rainbow bootlaces and corner flags, and they've managed to make racism popular again by pre-empting walkouts just in case it happens. Of course it's going to happen. When you tell half wits not to do something, they're going to do it.
They preach morality then hold the World Cup in Russia, Korea, Qatar and China are odds on to get the next one.
The rugby lads were running around covered in blood yet footballers have to leave the field and get changed if they get a nose bleed.
They just played around a player laid out unconscious in the World Cup final, whereas I saw the ball kicked out of play this week because the ball hit a player on the back of the head from 30 yards away. Embarrassing.
This season I've not watched one Champions League or Europa League game. I've not watched Match of the Day and usually only watch our game on EFL Goals.
Apart from Roy Keane & Graeme Souness there's nobody that calls players out for cheating/diving. Half the free kicks & penalties given have been 'bought'. Players are being sent off for nothing. The game is as credible as Saturday afternoon wrestling with Mick McMaus & The Royal Brothers.
