It is seriously corrupted and unhinged by the officials who promote it.
To me it has taken the fairness away from the competition, on a weekly bases. Who wants to see their club hammered week after week.
There is no fun in that. But thats the evolution it has been steered in by some, certainly not the fans themselfs. It can't continue like this. Honestly, it looks like football is dying and not because of the financial changes alone. But because the fans were never really included in the initial changes or at best were never listened to.
Most communities have lost their sense of pride in their local club because of the pyramid of modern day football finances.
This was not a normal evolution for the sport but a driven one. Driven by greed. that greed is driving it into the ground.
It also stifles young talent and kills the enjoyment that helps young talent bloom.
It really has changed Dubbs. I can see all the points made here and they are all valid. I just think that when Southampton fans and Leeds fans who have long term and recently tasted the Prem aren’t over excited about going back it tells you something. It never used to be that way.
