I’ve become very cynical of the top tier for a few years now, I’m not saying it’s corrupt but I believe its biased in so many ways towards an elite. Its starts from the very top, stakeholders in TV, advertising and promotion as well as Europe and cascades right down including the match officials.
This Champions League idea was in reality a way to stop the big Europeans clubs from breaking way. But that is not enough for them; they need more and more of the cake.
Gradually I lost enthusiasm for the game especially during the Pulis era.
After relegation I really enjoyed the championship and watched Quest. But I never watched any MOTD or England games until our season started.
I would love the top 6 or 8 to P Off.
The rest of the teams are still a very attractive proposition to broadcasters.
Honestly players on £600k a week and agents earning millions who needs it.
